What actions could we take realistically when we experience hijacking?

Is it the best to just sit calm and follow what the hijackers tell us to do?

What are your thoughts on this?
Stay calm and adjust behavior as needed based on a thoughtful assessment of the situation while in the situation.

The world is a pretty safe place today relative to say a century ago, with life expectancy numbers to show for it.

Realistically, the odds of me being struck by lightning and dying from it are much higher than of me being on a hijacked plane. Time to wear a giant rubber suit at all times?
