I have to admit that I am neither an air marshal or a federal agent but I do fly quite often and have to admit that my fellow frequent fliers are some real pieces of work. They complain more than any other group of people I know. Heaven forbid they listen to the flight attendants. Simple requests such as put your tray up, return your seat upright, put your cellphone away all often go ignored by these high and mighty jerks that I have to fly with. How many of you believed that I was an air marshal from my previous posts? You people are so selfabsorbed it amazes me. I am simply a frequent flier who understands and appriciates the hard work and hours these agents endure. My previous trolling posts simply proved my point. That is the view most frequent fliers have of air marshals and that view is as wrong as those phony posts yet you people swallowed them hook, line, and sinker because that's what you all believe to be true. You people are like 10 year old children when they think that they have been cheated out of something they "deserve."

Air marshals won't make any difference in the event of a real situation on the plane that the passengers could handle themselves. The next event will more than likely be something that will be out of anyone's control, yet the theft of premium seats goes on and on.

We don't need air marshals on the plane at all and we definitely don't need them in the premium cabins. All the air marshals do is STEAL from the airlines and bring firearms on the plane for the terrorists to use.

you are clueless...you talk a great game...to bad you would be the first one to **** your pants

You simply have no idea what you are talking about.

There is no "tax credit" for seats taken by sky marshals.

No US-based airline offering First Class has even paid taxes for the last several quarters (since no taxable income = no tax).

Why don't you review the TOS before posting again?

Hey, little boy, ever heard of leisure travel? That's right, it's when you travel when you're not working. I would expect that a real air marshal would be familiar with the term, since their theft-of-seat travel can hardly be considered "working".

Airlines get paid zero for any seat an air marshal steals. That's 0.0 dollars, which is actually greater than the 0.0 contribution, less the loss of the seat for the airlines.

Some day you may get to test that poorly-worded hypothesis. ;)
