I have been thinking about this topic since there was talk about the passengers on the PA flight fighting back. I think what they did is wonderful, but wondered if I would have had the courage, if there was any doubt that it might be resolved in another manner. I gather they knew how the other planes had been used and that would make a big difference, just as it will in all flights in the future.

Whenever I get on a plane I am one of those 'weird' people who double checks the cards too see if any information has been added. I also look around the cabin (am just learning from this board how to get out of coach) and note any children or older people -- just in case a situation arose that they might need help that I could possibly provide.

Would I start action against hijackers? I would love to answer a resounding "YES" (and my heart says so), but honestly I am not sure. Would I do anything and all I could to assist someone else in such action? This I can give a resounding "YES" to.
