Spot on Zuludead! Your comment will certainly raise some eye-brows, but I am sure a lot of people are thinking along those lines. I wonder how the Egyptian government would explain this incident - perhaps the Israelis were the root cause of the argument... Let's blame someone else!!!!
Any idea what type of aircraft was involved? Is CRM commonly used in that part of the world? Evidently not. Next time I'm in Egypt I'll opt for the bus (probably not much safer)!
