Ask HN: Could dual pilot input help prevent Air India-like crashes?

Maybe jetliners should require simultaneous physical input from both pilots for all sensitive switches, as a way to protect passengers from intentional actions by a single pilot.

In other words, both pilots would need to toggle their copy of a dual switch at approximately the same time.

Do you think this would be a reasonable safety measure?
