This guy (Ashraf Hamid) happens to be a recent hire pilot for Flash Airlines, who happens to have trained in the U.S., and was on this doomed Egypt flight....??? It's a looooooong article, but highly interesting.

He had lived with his father in Montreal in his mid-teens and graduated from Riverdale High School in Pierrefonds before going back to Egypt to live with his mother and study to be a pilot.
He was aboard Flash Airlines Flight FSH604 on Saturday - not piloting, but as part of a relief crew - when the 11-year-old Boeing 737 crashed in about 800 metres of water after leaving Sharm el-Shekh airport.

Thanks for another interesting post on the Red Sea crash. You've really been on top of this story today. It's frustrating that we can't get any open-minded discussion from any media outlet on this. It's as though it's been deliberatley blacked out. Normally, this would be such a high profile story because of the state of alert we are currently in and the security problems with international airlines. I just don't get it.
