hit by a man pad. i don t want to speak directly for my colleagues but in amind that is the mentality, a surface-to-air missile that is shoulder launched, doesn t have the capability of getting that high none of us, i think works have conceived that that kind of devastation from a surface-to-air missile information then should be going from the intelligence community do you think to the airline regulates, the airlines, the pilots themselves so that you would know all of it? surface-to-air missiles are there that s question, right? all of t think about how much you have to think about to fly a plane. now you have to think about this, too. well, after september 11th, that was the big game changer, too now we have to think about certain aspects of how to react to a terrorism situation on board. so, that s all part of our training. evading missiles, not part of our training. yeah. you know, that s just something that s not in our vocabulary at this point in time, especi
