Agreed. Pre 9/11, airlines taught (and for the most part still do) flight crews to comply with the highjackers so that the "authorities" can deal with them once they're on the ground. Although the FBI had informed the airlines in the 1990's that terrorists might try to highjack a plane and use it in a kamikazi attack, the airlines didn't change their training or even let the crews in on this tidbit.
