Wouldn't it depend on the hijacking? I don't think it's reasonable to assume that all hijackers are 9/11 redux. "Take me to Havana" used to be the thing. Deliberately crashing planes doesn't seem wise unless the hijacker's planning on crashing it anyway.

Do not challenge the hijackers physically or verbally. Comply with their instructions. Do not struggle...." Moving from a government policy of not negotiating with terrorists to not struggling with terrorists. Hard nose is out. Velvet gloves is in. Add to that the media who seldom calls a terrorist a terrorist. They are gunmen, militia, state operators, insurgents, disgruntled citizens ad nauseam. Haven't seen guerillas used yet. Guess that went out with VN and Cambodia.
