Just to add.. The aircraft that come with the FS package are rubbish, the default concorde, 73/4/7 etc don't really resemble the real things at all, but the point I was trying to make was if you had one of the additional, more realistic packages and got to know your way around, say, a 767 cockpit and got familiar with the systems, and had some flying experience, THEN it might be easier for someone to do something bad.
GrantT, the hijackers only had to get to the area they were headed, could easily have been done by programing a close waypoint/navaid in the FMC, and then when visual, disconnect the autopilot and point towards the buildings. They didn't have to take off. I admit, it may take a bit of skill to keep the thing straight at high speed, but where does the multi engine rating or much type experience come in? I don't think these guys were to worried about handling engine failures or sitting a type rating exam.
