@James7 (sorry I cannot find the quote function...)
Ref your post in italics below:
"dmba...The idea that pilots would take a plane should surely be the least conceivable on this forum...
History is not on your side. Only recently an Ethiopian plane was hijacked by the co-pilot with the Captain locked out. Aircraft landed in Geneva etc.."
Also recently (Nov 2013) a LAM Embraer 190 was "hijacked" by the Captain and flown into the ground enroute between MPM and LAD, killing all 27 occupants.

Maybe not so inconceivable anymore...?
