Australian authorities are investigating a flydubai co-pilot's "links to Australia" after he attacked the captain ​on a Tel Aviv-bound flight.

The co-pilot of the flydubai flight ‌1073, which had departed from Dubai, attacked the pilot with an emergency crash axe inside the cockpit and attempted to take control of the aircraft to commit a "terrorist attack", the United Arab Emirates prosecutor general said on Saturday.

He was ​identified as Hamam al Hammami, an Omani national.

Flydubai said it had launched a full investigation.

Two sources briefed on the investigation said the ​co-pilot studied at a university in Melbourne. Local media reports said he studied at RMIT University.

Buckinghamshire New University in the UK has also confirmed that Al Hammami had previously completed a distance-learning course in aviation management at the institution.

Flight 10 7 3 is not coincidental.

These perps put it all on their social media. Perhaps include social media when doing background checks for new hires.

So, that’s how they got him to talk. They probed his links, down under.

...attacked the pilot with an emergency crash axe inside the cockpit

First I've heard that bit of info. People have been asking "How did he smuggle a knife into the cockpit? How did he get past security?"

Now that this precedent has been set, what's the appropriate response? Remove all emergency crash axes from cockpits? Or remove all muslims from the flight deck?

1073 — truncate to 107. 10/7 — the date of the moslem attack on Israel that murdered 1,200 innocents. Just coincidental?

Every flight needs to add bacon, sausage and ham on their menu and be sure to offer the flight captains a generous serving!
