From the Paper:

" Lott (2005) contends that programs to allow pilots to carry firearms on the aircraft have been created in such a way that most pilots are prevented from protecting themselves. This is evident in the application procedures to carry firearms that have been produced by the federal government, according to Lott (2005). The application suggests that information may produce information that will lead to the pilots loosing their jobs, and this is a deterrent for most pilots. "
