I caught John Nance's comments on Imus--he played the incident smart, instead of going into full blown damage control, he stated the positives: Plane lost no pressure and landed safely and all of the passengers were not aware of the incident until after being told. He went on to defend the logic of Pilot's being armed--showing clips of the training where Pilot's qualify in New Mexico.

This is a training issue. I have participated in a Air Marshall Course of Fire about 2 years ago--and the safety mandates were strenuous for obvious reasons. I am sure the Pilots training is just as strenuous.

My first thought was that the guy had been drinking--if that is indeed the case, we can defend that as the exception to the rule and not the standard for the majority of Pilots (I Hope)
