I will be one of the first people in the UK to get an ID card as Aircrew are going to be first.
The door to my flight deck is Armoured and Locked at all times from prior to push back until after engine stop. We do open it so we can pop to the loo and have food brought in, but only after viewing the CCTV.
If we have a Hijacker on board my instructions are to turn off the intercom from the cabin, turn off the cctv and land asap. Even if the hijacker threatens cabin crew or starts killing people, they are friends and I have to make the desision to let them be killed, because of the greater good, if that happens, I will have to live with the fact that I let people die.

A terrorist can plant a bomb on my aircraft and kill me, he can fire a rocket at me and kill me.
When my wife says goodbye to me she knows it really could be the last time she ever sees me.


SO I THINK I HAVE THE BLOODY RIGHT TO MAKE HUMOR OF THIS
SITUATION. WE CALL IT GALLOWS HUMOR.

So please do not have a go at me for trying to make light of a bad situation.

and you say I jump to assumptions

Oh ******, I shouldn't have read that - I fly next week
