How is the flight crew's knowledge of the location and identities of
FAMs "counterproductive"?

You don't think the 9/11 hijackers weren't willing to die for the cause?


I do. But what cause would a terrorist be dying for by opening an emergency
hatch?

How many different types of corporate entities operate 737s? I would
think it would be obvious that the chances are pretty good (although
not 100%, admittedly) that a 737 pilot would work for an airline and
would know the answer to the original post in question.


The chances are very good that a 737 pilot would work for an airline. But
how does "Jack Davis B-737" indicate that you're a pilot?

Not really, considering that this is the normal operating
configuration!

Such knowledge would make it possible for them to identify the marshal to a
terrorist.

Well, if they can be opened at altitude, the terrorist would be the first to
depart. So what would his purpose be in opening one?


They can't be opened at altitude.

Your airline normally operates with mishaps? Could you please identify that
airline? I want to avoid it.

Why would we do that? The FAM will make his own "introduction" to the
terrorist long before we could get involved!
