But there’s this 1 sort of half exception

Fact: There is not a single airline in America that allows unqualified pilots to fly their multimillion dollar planes full of people, because that would be fucking stupid. Anyone who believes that’s happening is fucking stupid.

Did the hijackers have actual licenses or just take classes then hijack the plane?

Looks like 4/5 pilots were actually properly licensed and even did more training beyond the license to prepare. But the thing is you basically only need to be trained how to fly the plane while it’s in air, because the hardest parts of flying a plane are takeoff and landing, and well they waited until the plane was in the air to do the hijacking and as for the landing… pretty self explanatory.
