I'd think that "no compliance, ever" and "immediately attack" would be more useful and realistic advice. Then again, that only works if people have an immediate visceral sense that getting hijacked is already a death sentence. The show was probably accurate in depicting the realization as being gradual, rather than immediate.

In any case, the final two-thirds of the episode was pure filler. I particularly liked how the FA's actually had to be "instructed" by the superhero-pax as to their duties during an emergency evacuation.
