You didn't attend my first lessons, did you? DUNCE! Of course, flight training was mandatory for the hijackers because they had to embark the plane WITHOUT FIREARMS!! That way there was just nothing for airport security to prevent them from getting on board... However, it changes the hijack's modus operandi into a whole'nother ball game. Indeed, how do you force both the pilot and the co-pilot to obey your orders if you don't scare them in the first place?

Very easily Gus. Air crew have been instructed over the past 30 years to COOPERATE with hijackers, to ostensibly prevent loss of life resulting from resistance. Strap a phony bomb around your torso, cry "take me to Havana" and away you go. There's no need for firearms. Boxcutters do quite nicely, after all.
