But then again , I wounder if they ( the air marshales ) are trained for a general revolt ??
But at least you'd be off the plane.

Aren't there practical considerations towards confining a large group of people in a space for twice as long as it's designed to accommodate them (overloaded sewage, running out of water). Also, deep vein thrombosis and other issues can occur if people are confined for too long and don't take precautions. If it was an overseas direct flight, there might have been a 6-8 hour flight on top of the 14 hours.
