Different crews had different perspectives, but nearly all were very supportive and professional.
Oftentimes I would not be advised, unless I asked, if there were other armed passengers aboard the flight. I would explain that in the event of an incident, I would need to know if there were good guys aboard, even if I wasn't made privy of their seat assignment. (Which I can't ever remember being told specifically, but my memory may be faulty on that.)
Has policy changed regarding notification and information being shared with other armed agents aboard a flight?
Thanks in advance.
