Well, one problem with arming people on planes, is do you really WANT gunfire inside of a plane, especially in the cockpit? A plane is packed full of sensitive equipment, and puncturing the hull would cause rapid and dangerous decompression. Shooting a control panel or puncturing a hydraulic line could drop your plane pretty fast.

I think the best idea is NO guns, but make the cockpit completely inaccessible from the main plane.
