Guns on planes aren't terribly effective. Firstly cause puncturing the hull will end badly.
But also because there's a lot of people in a very confined space. A shooter has no space to maneuver and threats on all sides.
It's not even heros-required. Most passengers know the math. Hijacking means certain death anyway, so you may as well roll the dice.
