On the recordNovember 16, 2001
my concern and the pilots' concern is about qualification number two, ``the air carrier approves.'' They do not have and I do not have a problem with the air carriers being involved in the discussion about the terms of the Under Secretary of Transportation's approval and the type of the firearm and the training, but they are very concerned that an air carrier would just have the ability to just say no and not allow a pilot who was qualified under the other three sections to carry a firearm. I would ask the gentleman what is his understanding of the ``air carrier approves.''
