Flydubai co-pilot who attacked captain was dismissed by 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 en route from Dubai to Tel Aviv had previously flown for Oman Air, sources said. He was reportedly dismissed by the Omani carrier over engagement with what were considered radical views, raising questions about how he was later hired and cleared to fly for Flydubai.
Why now: Reports linking the attacker to a prior dismissal over radical views raise airline vetting and security concerns.
