Airflight Anti-Terrorist  Training for Passengers
Airflight passengers participated in a "Defensive Flying" training by Flight Watch 
to "prepare travelers to take appropriate action to assist flight crews 
when called upon to do so in an emergency."
Flight Watch President, Don Detrich, says, "The training focuses on what passengers 
can do and what passengers cannot do. 
We look at past emergencies and to those responses that were appropriate 
and those that were not." 
The training for passengers takes place in classes and then with 
simulated emergencies on a Boeing 747 replica.
