That's one 11/9 every day 7 days a week 52 weeks of the year or 8 747's every day - It does make 555 on an A380 or 400+ on a 747 pale into insignificance.
Hi-jacking is IMHO a thing of the past anyone saying I'm taking over this plane has around 60 seconds to live before the on board slc tear them apart.
Giving the likes of the CIA control of aircraft remotely is just letting the lunatics take over the asylum for what? We never got this paranoid during the troubles so why now? Trouble with the cousins is that they take time to rise and then they go ape and knee-jerking becomes a national sport.
