Odds that the pilot’s first, middle or last name was “Mohammed”?

Then why wasn’t a flight attendant called in to be with the sick one?

[dowcaet]

And the rest of the MSM will accuse FOX News of ramping up anti-Islamic hate.

From the NY Slimes - An interesting paragraph: A Spanish-Moroccan woman, Asmae Ouahhoud el-Allaoui, 23, was moving to Düsseldorf to live with her Moroccan husband, Mohamed Tehrioui, 24, whom she had just married on Saturday, according to Juan José Maestre, a town hall official at La Llagosta, outside Barcelona.

“This sounds like a rogue pilot. Terrorism! Release the pilot’s names NOW”

This flight is starting to have a similar MO as flt MH370.

[dragnet2]

If the locked in pilot had a medical issue, did the airlines not think the other pilot could possibly be locked out?

I can’t believe this could be overlooked.

[SZonian]

Shhhh...

Don’t interrupt them, they’re on a roll.

[BlackVeil]

That’s true. I have not been able to find anything about the names or i.d. of the pilots. This is ridiculous, as all the other names have been released - 2 Australians dead, and the whole country knows who they are.

The only mention of the pilots states that the chief pilot had good experience and thousands of hours flying. Well, so one would expect but - who was he?

[Osage Orange]

Interesting

[CivilWarBrewing]

Maybe the sole pilot went into IPM (Intense Prayer Mode), chanting "Allahu Ahkbar, Allahu Ahkbar.."

[dragnet2]

Could have been a sudden heart attack.

[humblegunner]

So it IS the crazy Scientology chick.

Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Mark Levin talking about this now.

we’re not at war wth muslims/islam == globull warming exists and it’s man’ fault

[cicero2k]

They are likely required to lock the door when someone on the flight deck leaves. Did the other pilot have a medicinal issue? Heart attack?

We should be digging into Facebook, Twitter etc. on these pilots by now. The odds of a medical event is slim enough, but to have it occur while alone is astronomical. Plus the remaining pilot would probably have enough in him to make a may day call if he was suddenly sick. These guys are on statins and blood pressure meds like the rest of us. At least he did not turn off the transponder.

[conservativejoy]

I’ve heard other pilots comment that a controlled descent is a taught terrorist maneuver.

[Cementjungle]

Agreed...usually if a pilot leaves they have a flight attendant step inside the cockpit until the pilot returns.

Sometimes they have a couple flight attendants barricade the aisle with a beverage cart and they leave the door ajar.

[Oztrich Boy]

Perhaps they should arrange it that flightdeck doors can’t be locked. Problem sorted!

[CodeToad]

“These days are the cockpit doors so strong they could not be kicked open? Who has the keys?”

Yep, they are steel with steel locking bars.

[hsmomx3]

Horrible whatever the reason.
