"Don't forget that Egyptian pilot who deliberately took a whole planeload of people to their deaths on an Egypt Air flight a cuple of years ago. (Was it before 9-11?) He was praying to Allah all the way down."

That plane had about 40 high-ranking Egyptian military officers on board - probably the real target of that pilot.

Egypt tried to blow off the report and the official version was suicide. The co-pilot, according to the transcripts, disengaged the auto-pilot as soon as the captain left the cabing and then put the plane into steep dive that was terminal before the captain could crawl back in to stop it.

I worry about a similar scenario put it would require timing, a plan to include or take out the flight crew, and probably would not include more than one plane.
