inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour towards a number of female pilots" abuser was terminated.
Illogical comment. I have no axe to grind about female pilots, and have every sympathy with those that have been mis-treated in the course of their duties. However, I have an axe to grind about the immoral and undemocratic state of Saudi Arabia. Having flown many Hajj flights, the experience most of us Western pilots was bad. We were treated like lepers by Jeddah ATC, Saudi Immigration, and Saudi officialdom everywhere. (Indonesia was much better) And as for harsh treatment in the flight deck, plenty is dished out by trainers and line captains, which FO's have to suck up. Sexual abuse is another matter of course. It was alleged, not proven, in this case.
