For the people saying it wouldn't have happened with a FA in the cockpit. What's stopping a FA from disabling the pilot and causing this same scenario?

It isn't foolproof but if it lowers the odds just a little bit, why not? I've seen this happen on planes I've been on and it doesn't seem to be a hassle at all.

Who knows what goes through this pilot's mind but say there was a female flight attendant he could have overpowered, maybe just the presence of this person would've deterred him from his actions which would've required hand to hand violence.

ETA: People like the pilot of the Egypt Air flight, it probably wouldn't matter. He put the thing in a straight nose dive.
