Since you and I are no longer engaging in dialogue, I won't poke holes in your theory here in public. It is an interesting theory and not one I would just discount out of hand (although it does have some problems) and certainly a more refined one than most. I'll commend you for your self-awareness about your own biases and for admitting them. In the grand scheme of things the origin and identity of the pilots really doesn't matter in my view. It was only four, possibly 8 men. I'd send in at least 2 capable of entering coordinates into the auto-pilot, and a little more, on each team, in case one was incapacitated in the takeover. I'm certain most had that training so actual trained pilots from some hypothetical country's military or commercial air (Pakis or Saudis), there would likely only be 4.
