ISIS in the sky

Apologies if this has already been posted, but apparently a couple of Air Indonesia ex-pilots have gone over the dark side...

Islamic State: Two Indonesian pilots feared to have joined jihadi group | World | News | Daily Express

tbh I would have thought we should be more worried about current aircrew being suborned...

Still the papers do love a jihadi story and the headline's so good I stole it for the title to this post

With many airlines applying the "2 people in the cockpit at all times" policy now, any jihadi can apply to be cabin crew and gain easy cockpit access, it is only a matter of time I fear.
