No too sure about that. Even though many pilots are ex-military, and are well trained, I believe the SOP for hijackings was to do what the hijackers wanted and go land the plane asap. Killing the pilots was never a possible scenario. But it is now.

JoeA, you can probably shed some better light on this.
