Southwest Pilot Arrested With Loaded Gun In St. Louis Airport
ST. LOUIS (CBSLA) – A 51-year-old Southwest Airlines pilot has been arrested in St. Louis Lambert International Airport after a loaded pistol was found in his carry-on bags early Wednesday morning, according to airport officials. A TSA agent discovered a loaded 9mm pistol in the pilot’s luggage during screening, the airport said.

Better a loaded gun than being loaded.
Better common sense than gung-ho..........
Maybe this is what is necessary to insure a safe flight. Then someone would be able to fight back if there was a problem on board. Since our court system allows all this freedom to enter our country with minimal vetting.
You are not making much sense here. The flight was never in any danger! The pilot was arrested so he never reached the aircraft and they likely had to get a standby crew member resulting in a delayed flight and inconvenience to passengers.
This pilot was not professional and broke the law. There are consequences to that, I presume you understand that concept. Carrying a firearm does that. There are responsibilities that go with having a firearm, especially at airports and on or near aircraft., and he was well aware or should have been.
You are surmising here and not acknowledging that he actually broke a law!
And no, we don't have shoot outs like the Wild West in aircraft cabins. How does a court come in to this scenario? stick to the article, not your idea of what should or shouldn't happen on a commercial aircraft.
And last but not least, I do believe the aircraft is INSURED already. The word you were looking for is ensure!

Why should he need a permit?
He should just carry the Constitution.
We already trust the pilots with our lives, so unless the pilot himself (or herself) goes full jihadi, I'd rather he were armed than not.

The problem, it seems, is that he didn't have a permit for the firearm. Otherwise he could have checked it in. The airline should have a facility to transport firearms. Or he could have left it in safe custody.
