The first thing I would like to know is if this guy was even on the plane. Unfortunately, the article is unclear on that point.
You're right, pretty cloudy on if the guy was on the plane.
However, if the guy wasn't on the plane, it would make the argument that he caused the crash suspect.
There should be a passenger manifest somewhere.
If this is true he was travelling under an assumed name & non-Canadian passport.

Final passenger list. Jdey is not on it.
"Jdey" isn't on the passenger list. Could've used an alias.
Not according to this passenger list
