The story line was feasible

How so? I only have a very vague idea about someone trying to release snakes on an airplane to kill someone.

What several people have said is that in a real situation where snakes were loose on a plane, they could turn on the air conditioning to lower the temperature substantially. The low temperatures would make the snakes very stiff, and they wouldn't be able to move well enough to be effectively aggressive. I only know of a few species that would really scare me in that situation. I've wondered how the movie got around those issues.

What I meant about the "STORY LINE" being feasible, was that of some DIFFERENT threat being on plane to take the plane down, which was the basis of the film. NOT just pilots taking it to a specialized target.

The goal in this movie was to take out a key witness with no regard if the rest of the passengers were killed in process.

The technical aspects were not what I meant.. and you are right re: temps/snakes. It had a lot in it Bill.. I do recall there was some type of apparatus attached to the snake area,(maybe heaters). Movies anymore have a lot of technical experts involved, to cover this sort of thing. I have been surprised when movies that are in my realm of expertise, if you will, are good!
