>>EgyptAir officials have vehemently rejected the allegations, saying Batouty was a well-balanced family man and an experienced pilot who could not have committed suicide.<<
Yep, as I said in the thread referenced above:
"The FBI interviews attached to the NTSB release cited above indicate multiple reports of behaviour not considered politically correct in America, i.e. masturbating in the window in front of young women, offering the maid $100 to come to his room on the night of the crash etc. While it may be argued that this is nothing unusual for Arab airline crewmembers (if you've flown in the Middle East, you'll know this sort of thing does happen fairly often), it would at least bring into question the prime suspect's mental stability."
I think the argument that Muslims wouldn't commit suicide and murder has lost its popular appeal in recent months.
