US Airways Not Gun-shy
According to the Carolinas' News Connection,
A US Airways pilot’s gun accidentally discharged during a flight from Denver to Charlotte Saturday, according to a statement released by the airline. The statement said the discharge happened on Flight 1536, which left Denver at approximately 6:45am and arrived in Charlotte at approximately 11:51am.
No one was hurt and the plane was not damaged, this time. This puts last week's remark by CEO Parker in perspective.
Calculated business risks have made US Airways among the nation's most profitable, and its recent failure to acquire Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines won't make it gun-shy, CEO Douglas Parker said Wednesday. [USA Today]
But maybe he will be gun-shy now.
And just think, there are people who believe that everyone should carry a gun: teachers, college students, airline pilots, store clerks, anyone and everyone. Luckily, no one died this time but if the crazy wing of the self-defense school of gun ownership gets its way, it is only a matter of time.
