However we know Sonny isn't a total 'tard, e.g. he spots that brotha as a cop, but then "there'll be hamburgers on the plane". Planes don't serve hamburgers, this should've tipped him off.

Please rephrase your title so it's more clear.

Them come out?

Sonny wasn't very bright, and Sal was definitely a 'tard, in addition to being a psycho. As for the hamburgers, the plane probably had a minimal crew, with no flight attendants, so no on-board food preparation would have been going on. The cops could have just picked up a few bags of burgers from MacDonald's or some place because they knew the hostages hadn't eaten all day.

I doubt there was anyone onboard except cops waiting in case they actually got onboard. They knew they would stop them before they got that far.
