<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I think, that of all the cases listed, this is the
easiest one to differentiate. He is clearly a rodef, unlike all the other cases.
If the question was not about the pilot but about the others in the plane, the
argument (though less simple) can still be made that they are part of the crew
that make the rodef function.</FONT></DIV>
