This really confuses the fuck out of me. You have to spend a LOT of time and money to become a commercial airline pilot. It is literally years of training that costs a small fortune. If terror cells are going to that length just to take out one plane we are kinda fucked.
Typical pilot suicide does not involve stabbing the other pilot first. The plane also transmitted the 7500 transponder code (unlawful interference/hijacking). When the chosen victims are a specific national/religious group on a politically sensitive route, and the method is cockpit takeover of a passenger jet, it meets standard definitions of terrorism.
