Just a thought: can a fully trained and qualified pilot who is rostered for that very flight actually be a hijacker, I mean in a legal sense? He obvioulsly diverted from his original flightplan, broke a couple of SOPs and laws, but he didn't put a gun to anybody's head. So did he actually hijack the plane (as the media say) or would you call that something like "gross misconduct"?
