Give me 10-15 trained, motivated people used to killing and working together as a team and I give us an excellent chance of taking the plane, mostly because I wouldn't give the pax a chance to organize and work up their nerve for an attack.
It's not rocket science, it just takes some skill, more will and some luck.
By your own description, only two or so people can be in aisle - so how would a team of 10-15 work? If enough passengers get up, they will cut the 10-15 into smaller groups, cut off from each other, and then it will be easier to stop them - if you've ever tried deplaning quickly after arrival, you know what the aisle looks like from just half the aisle seat occupants standing up.
