Now, not being a frequent international flyer, I need some clarification here.
I've seen most of the Airline disaster type movies too, but unless I'm very much mistaken, in real life the good guy doesn't always win.

Neither is there always the obligatory singing Nun, child with a terminal illness on her way to life saving treatment at the Mayo Clinic, Priest and, more importantly for this scenario, teenage kid with 30,000 hours experience on Flight Simulator who can take over the controls of the jet and land it safely with guidance from the guy at ATC when the entire flight crew are either dead or incapacitated because one of them decided to be a hero and took on the hijacker.

Am I wrong?
