-But what if the pilot/co-pilot takes down the flight attendant?-
I don’t think an airline can plan for every conceivable contingency; too costly for one thing. Maybe the flight attendant can have a firearm or taser at the ready.
Or possibly the armed flight attendant(s) can stand by while the door is firmly propped open. Presumably the pilot will only be gone a few minutes.

I agree. Can’t wrap my head around this one.

Maybe it is time to give serious thought to pilotless cockpits.

Gotta believe there will be more than a few law suits on this one.

Agree. Islamic would have crashed into a populated area.

Better they should screen pilots and crew to eliminate NUTJOBS and Muslims! Someone determined to crash a plane is going to anticipate interference and have no problem offing the other person. Keep it simple. Psych screenings without warning and NO Muslims on crew, period. No Muslims aboard at all would be better.

Give me the NAME of the pilot that flew that AirBus into the ground.
Give me the RELIGION of that pilot.

If he was in the clouds all the way down, he could not see the populated area.

From everything I’ve seen, this looks more like Gayhad than Jihad. Starting with the picture of wonder boy by the Golden Gate Bridge.

Until I see PROOF otherwise, I'll go with the majority of the history of the incidents.
Just my 30+ years experience of Air Traffic Control, and mostly as a supervisor/controller.

I respect your experience and I’m certainly not going to place a bet against you on this one.
What do you think of this possibility:
The real co-pilot was kidnapped, killed and replaced with a muzzie stand-in. I don’t think that would be possible with flight-crew check-in procedures in the US post-9/11. But what about in Spain? Possible?
What do you think?
