A and C. I disagree with you here. I think far too many of us have adopted a "bury your head in the sand" approach to "unlikely" scenarios eventuating.

Prior to every departure now, I instruct my cabin crew and F/O on specific courses of action in the "unlikely" event of a hijacking. My actions (now) bare no resemblance to my company SOP's hijacking policy (which is currently being "reviewed". Some of the actions of the above post are spot on.

A judge once told me "dead men don't talk". If some squeaser tries to take over my aircraft now or in the future, my crew and I will do anything and everything to avert disaster.

This is the mind set I now have on every flight. Keeping things quiet on this forum does not proclude potential morons obtaining the required operational information currently in use with any airline. The abhorrent atrocities of 2 weeks ago are testimony to that.
