The pilots could still fly the plane with all the communication and transponder turned off, they nannies system as you call them are only use so the ground know who they are and where they are. All pilots can fly by instruments, so they have GSP telling their location, they have compass and other navigation system on the plane which do not require communication with the ground. All pilot believe it or not still carry around maps whether paper or electronic so they can still fly a plane the old fashion way which is by the seat of their pants.

The pilot was well known for letting pretty girls into the cockpit. He further violated SOP by letting them smoke in the cockpit.
In any event, if there was a hijacker threatening the life of a passenger or crew, a pilot might open that door.
I'm still thinking the pilot may be on on it. Who knows.
