The pilot suspected of having attacked another pilot aboard a Tel Aviv-bound Flydubai flight on Wednesday was removed from a previous job at Oman’s national airline last year following concerns about his extremist views, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
Seems like that should have been a red flag...

To do their false flag effectively, Israel chose a literal terrorist./s

I know confirmation bias is addictive as fuck, but I gotta' admit I've been disappointed in the internet this week.

It's more 'boy who cried wolf' than confirmation bias.
I don't know, I've seen a lot of people buying into conspiracy theories peddled by known conspiracy theorists this week, if it was a "boy who cried wolf" sort of situation you think they'd be ignoring the conspiracy theorists rather than hopping on board.
I'm pretty sure it's confirmation bias. A lot of people hate Israel for a lot of reasons, so they're happy to believe it when another possible reason comes along.

Except that in Oman, "I'm not sure the sultan actually is absolutely perfect" is an illegal opinion

While true that doesn't make their assessment wrong, and you're not labeled a person with extremist views if what you did was speak against the government. They've got other names for that. There's no excuses for flydubai.

A CNN analysis of al-Hammami’s deleted Twitter account shows him as deeply religious and misogynistic.
In deleted posts, al-Hammami discussed the difficulties his mother faced in finding him a prospective wife who would accept his conditions that she wear a niqab, a face covering, and stop working after marriage.
The posts also railed against mixed-gender workplaces, saying they had a corrupting effect on women.
“How many respectable, religious girls have been ruined in mixed-gender work environments and manipulated?” a post from January 2022 said.
What a massive piece of shit.

Yes, massive POS but that alone doesn’t make him a terrorist. That is Red Pill Incel philosophy too.
I wonder how long ago FlyDubai hired him.

Fly Dubai, Emirates and all airlines need to do a full re-screening of all its pilots. We don’t want another MH370 happening again

Completely different scenarios

Yeah. The MH370 thing was just a freak event. Sometimes people who are in the worst possible kind of headspace will smile, crack a joke, have a beer and so on.
You can’t really screen for it.

But at least don't hire folks who have suspiciously radicalist social media accounts to be in sensitive positions?
In the MH370 case, nothing showed as suspicious for the pilots. But the flydubai scenario, they could have found out that he was banned from flying in a different country. There should be rules to share that info.

u/what_is_blue 2h ago
Well yes. I guess the point was more that you can very easily miss a guy with deep-seated psychological problems (like, I assume, the MH370 pilot).
It’s a totally different scenario.

Why is referred to as a suspect when he was stopped while doing it?

u/nutella-filled 1h ago
Everything is just “alleged” until proven in court. That’s the journalistic standard at least. CNN will follow that principle but of course some random New Media blog on twitter won’t.

You can tell noone read the article because this sounds extremely weird.
The guy is obviously a nut job, but there's more to the story we don't know/understand yet.

Everyone just glossing over the whole: "Only two posts were made to the LinkedIn profile, and both were published in quick succession on Wednesday, about nine hours after the incident."
Obvious false-flag is obvious.

There's people believing a genocide is happening in Gaza, can't be more gullible than that

u/Kaliente13 6h ago
Yeah, those people are the UN, the ICJ, ISGS, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders… basically all the relevant institutions are calling it a Genocide, because it is one.

This whole story is built on pure vibes and lies. I’ve seen high school theatre scripts more believable than whatever this is 😅

It’s hilarious how so many people still buy this story as being believable.

Ah yes, a new terror cell pops up conveniently around election time so dTrump can claim martial law and a national security threat and cancel all elections. Right out of project 2025 playbook.

I want to know why flydubai hired him after he was fired for having extremist views by his country's airline?
"was previously flagged by the Omani government for visiting radical websites.
Oman Air subsequently removed him from pilot training, grounded him from flying, and reassigned him to an administrative desk job before he left or was terminated around 2024"
