Corrected entry: Why don't the pilots of the Shanghai cargo plane just shoot Indy and co while they are sleeping and push their bodies out over the mountains, rather than skydiving out themselves and leaving the plane to crash? For a start they are risking their own safety by parachuting out over the mountains. The weather could have been bad, which would have ruined that plan. Secondly they're wrecking a valuable asset unnecessarily. Thirdly, they don't know that Indy can't fly the plane - he could have pilot training and might have known how to safely ditch it. (00:17:00)

Correction: The pilots aren't shown to have guns, or knives, or any other weapons. Also, they know Indy can't fly the plane because they dumped the fuel before they left.
