Unlikely?
Have knife, wait for FA to open the door for the pilot's meals/bathroom break/take the tray back/drink re-fill/etc.
Mad dash to flight deck. Takes about three seconds max. Slam door on the way in. Stab. Repeat as necessary while pushing the pilot body into the yoke. Watch the plane go down, down, down.
