It seems like there are going to need to be additional systems built into the plane that can override the pilots, but those will carry their own risks. It will also be helpful if we can check on the mental health of those who are flying the planes. Finally, I would like a law that forces airlines to provide the names and biographies of pilots. I believe I should have the right to refuse to fly on any plane piloted by a muzzie.

My understanding is that this is the rule in the US, and we’ve had no intentional crashes due to lock-outs.
re: ... that will just force the pilot to kill the crew member, probably a female ...
When that happens, they’ll upgrade the requirement to FA with martial arts training.
I’m a pilot. I haven’t flown in years, and don’t plan to. I plan my travel to get there by surface transport, usually driving. Emirates can run all the ads they want. I’m not boarding.
If enough people make that choice, the airlines might figure it out and implement more effective controls to keep suicidal individuals out of the cockpit. This will probably need to include paying them much more to attract higher quality candidates and compensate them for the screening annoyance.
When I was a kid, many people refused to fly due to the risk of crashes from unintentional causes. It was a statistical thing. Those causes came to be largely controlled. Suicidal crews (regardless of motive) are apparently a rising risk factor, and one that the traveling public will react to.
I expect to see the concept of remotely piloting mooted (with on-board crew subordinate to the remote). Then the hacking risks arises. Get out the popcorn.
