If the pilot did indeed drive the aircraft into the sea, I can see where they would have a vested interest interest in suppressing the truth. It might really damage their tourist industry.
I don't know about others, but I have already decided never to fly with that airline. Why take a chance that I don't have to take?
True, I would never fly on an airline of any Muslim country. And it’s a good reason to prefer an airline that refuses to hire Muslim pilots and crews, except ofc that our federal govt would sue the hell out of any US airline that tried to do that. But who wants the added risks in this Age of Jihad???
I’ll give you another reason. That lousy airline can’t even make it on time to a destination only 45 minutes away. I got stuck in Singapore for the night due to missing a simple connection after leaving Kuala Lumpur late—no weather or traffic issues—Malaysia is just a really stupid place and their airline reflects it.
And good luck getting a taxi in KL if you’re not going to the airport. Lazy bastards. Taxi drivers in Singapore would almost be flogged for doing the same thing.
