DENVER (AP) -- United Airlines plans to start training its pilots to use stun guns to defend their cockpits even though the devices haven't been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration.

The nation's second-biggest airline will hold one-day training session for its pilots in Denver and other hub cities such as Chicago and San Francisco starting in April, company spokesman Joe Hopkins said Wednesday.

Flight attendants will also be trained in self-defense and helping passengers in the event of a terrorist attack but will not be trained to use the advanced Taser stun guns, which will be kept in locked boxes in the cockpit, he said.

The airline, which lost two planes in Sept.  11's terrorist attacks, was the first major U.S.  carrier to announce plans to use stun guns on its planes.

If the government approves their use, as United is confident it will, Hopkins expects stun guns will be available on its planes by the end of the summer.
