Flydubai co-pilot who attacked captain once flew for Oman Air
Original: The co-pilot who attacked the commanding captain on the Flydubai flight en route to Tel Aviv from Dubai had flown for Om
The co-pilot who attacked the commanding captain on a Flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv had previously flown for Oman Air, according to sources cited by The Japan Times. He was reportedly dismissed from the Omani carrier over engagement with what were considered radical views. The incident has raised fresh questions about airline vetting and cockpit security on Gulf routes.
Why now: Revelations that the attacker had a history of radical views and was dismissed by a previous airline are raising concerns about how he was cleared to fly.
