Honestly, though, it bothers me that so many pilots seem to think that a

What kind of pilot skill is that?

Me thinks you're trivializing one guy sitting right next to you, another
right behind you with his arm around your neck, both screaming and
shouting
and holding knifes at your neck.

Well, if they are going to disable the pilot, that is a little more than
what I generally think of as a "distraction." Anyway, if things got that far
then the airplane might as well be allowed to destroy itself. You have to
figure that you're dead anyway.
