Fellas,
Most of the info in the posts above is boll#$ks. Firstly the Saudis at Vero Beach are ex FE's with Saudia doing ab-initio training with FSI.
Secondly; NO-ONE has been arrested. In fact CNN were reporting that one of the poor sods was on the manifest, when in fact he was with the FBI in Miami.
Thirdly; NO-ONE was running amuck with AK-47 in downtonwn Vero Beach. The likelyhood of anyone doing that in the states and continuing to live very long is extremely dubious. Have you seen how mean the cops are here??
Finally; This has been the worst case of negligent reporting I have ever seen. None of these Saudis in Vero Beach is anything other than a professional pilot. They have been scared sh$tless because the media got it's facts completely wrong and plastered their names all over the TV, when they had no evidence at all. Yes they have the same or similar sounding surnames, but that is where the similarities end.
Time and time again I've seen plenty of posts on the board by pilots saying that the media shouldn't be trusted and always gets it's facts wrong.
Well,we all just fell for it. Think before you type.
