A male cabin crew was arrested a few years ago at a UK based airline I worked for. Had been viewing Al-Qaeda material on the 'net and was picked up by MI6.

Big strong guy, looked like a real gym rat, brought us coffee in the cruise a few times, no harm was done but you've got to wonder. If he had a well executed plan then he could well bring the plane down even with two pilots in the flight deck. Where does it end?

65 posts and still nothing about what actually happened!

ECAM, your an idiot. Go away

I believe you can apply again in 12 mos

I believe this person is a troll, or a complete idiot.

Probably both.

Excellent , and full of useful ideas. As for myself, I will keep them in mind.

The only problem would be that the involved CC might have a pen, too.

So it seems that quite of us are already designing their own way of fighting back the CC in the cockpit. So great.

It always amazes me how they can catch a guy looking at stuff on the internet, yet somehow they can't or won't block the web address to that material. That's like offering free beer on the highway and complaining when someone gets caught DUI.

Get your facts straight buddy. Looks like you have a little or no experience in aviation.


MH370 is still a mystery, Pilot suicide is one of the many theories of what could have happened. No assumptions in aviation, because assumption are the mother
Of all the f$&@ups. A CC in German wings could have never saved the plane, if she/he was 320 rated. You would have read about AF447 incident.



Primarily two person cockpit rule was made for pilot incapacitation, not suicide.
I had this rule in all the airlines I had worked/working for.

And it's lose not loose. Do you know the difference ??

You think he is qualified to apply ? Looks like he has 10s of Cessna hrs under his belt and not even a CPL.

Well I'm applying not long after graduation, the average demographic of the EK pilot appears to be leaning towards the younger generation. Although, having said that, I'm not entirely convinced by the company or lifestyle. I shall see once I'm fully done with training and have joined my sponsor airline what my next move shall be. Emirates might still take some convincing and definitely a better offer than what they currently have for d/e FOs.

That whatsapp rumor msg started doing the rounds around the 20th, the steroids missive came out 10th.

You might be on to something there

Officer kite , really don't want another beef with you

Zero contribution to the thread ,

Off topic but when did an MPL , "graduate from anything ?"

If this is the sort of quality that EK is getting then slow clap it is

Calm down, the failure rate here for interviews is really high. You don't "decide" whether or not to work for EK before the interview, you do the interview first THEN make that decision IF they offer you a job. The entry requirements may have completely collapsed but that doesn't mean they take just anyone. :rolleyes:

No offence, but why don't you actually go out and get some real flying hours first before you deem EK unworthy of your services :yuk:

With the greatest of respect, sir, who are you? We had beef? I tend to fall asleep after a good steak so that probably explains it. Joking aside though, I'm sorry but I don't have any recollection of any discussion with you :rolleyes:

As for the MPL, I am not an MPL cadet no, I'm ATPL.

And sealer, I hear you and point taken.

Anyway, regarding the thread, what's to say a cabin crew member and a pilot who both know each other and have the same evil intent don't simply plan to get on the same flight together and end up both in the cockpit together at some stage? Are there protections against this? It's a bloody obvious gap in the system.

Is it really?

I'm sure the security services are scrambling to secure that glaring own goal. Good thing a kid in ATPL Groundschool, who took 8 attempts to get into flight school, caught it in time.

except that didn't really happen did it? i was offered a place to "get into flight school" first time, but i wanted to get onto a programme with a job attached and insisted on it every time, so said no. Otherwise i would have been a "wings cadet" like you quite some time ago. Thankfully I thought wiser than throwing away tonnes of cash to end up back home scratching my ass whilst the "graduate services team" held me by my throat and end up like a puppet trying to impress them to try and get just an interview. Do try and be more accurate next time, and I hope you are more accurate in your exams considering you too are in flight school, I suggest you go and do some study rather than spend your time stalking my history, and good luck job hunting :)

Oh dear.



Am I really. Someone had better tell Aviation House LGW, they've printed A320/LV on my license by mistake.

Didn't get on the airline programmes, however offered to do the whitetail course which is what you did ...i.e. "get into flight school", same happened with oxford and fte ... i refused to train unless an airline was involved but each time offered to do the school's own integrated course. And considering I was 18/19 for all the attempts you have listed, and made the final 50 of over 3,000 applicants to the aer lingus programme at 19, I have got no shame in admitting it. And the post you have quoted, was actually made to try and encourage someone else that was rejected from a couple of programmes and everyone else that may read it, to make them realise that we can all not pass selections for various reasons (interview techniques was my issue) but if they really want it and keep aiming to improve, they can get there. Have you seriously nothing better to do with your time? How sad!
