There does not seem to be any solution to stopping a suicidal/homicidal pilot or co-pilot in this situation. Maybe, the Air Marshals need more spies on planes keeping track of the signs of mental instability and otherwise within pilots. Paid for by the airlines. You can never undervalue boots on the ground intelligence and that's what sounds needed. I am a big fan of moles.
