I don't know if that is fly or not, I was just going along with the picture. As for the statement, heck, our F/A's have more of a chance bankrupting medicare than "defending the skies". Look, I've never bought into this crap "were here for safety". Now if they wish to pay for their training on their own time I'm all for it. I teach jiu-jitsu 3 days a week to local law enforcement, correctional custody and a couple of firefighters? Want some advice...eyes, throat, solar plex, groin, knees...they are the most vulnerable areas on the human body. But short of a gun (which we can now obtain from our beloved pilots) the PASSENGERS are NOT going to sit by and become cruise missles. Strength in numbers is the key here, not a couple of hours shouting kiiiiaaah and rolling around on the ground or flailing our arms like if we actually hit somebody it would do something.
