Who are mystery men who stepped in to keep FlyDubai plane from crashing?

Who are the mystery pilots who stepped in to stabilize the FlyDubai flight as it hurtled toward disaster? As of Saturday, three days after the uniformed crew members rushed to the cockpit to steady the Israel-bound plane carrying 182 people after a sickening plummet, they still haven't been publicly identified. FlyDubai has called them only on-duty crew members traveling on the plane. It's not clear why the airline hasn't said more. One passenger at the front of the plane, though, described the men's actions in an interview with The Associated Press, giving one of the most detailed accounts of the yet-unsung heroes. This is one of the miracles, said Daniel Schlichter, who was seated in the second row. That not in every flight they bring two extra pilots. In this case, they brought them because they should have brought the plane back from Tel Aviv to Dubai, and this is the only reason they were there. The practice is called deadheading. The two men responded after screaming ...

SHOCKING! Israel Had Flydubai Crew List Before Cockpit Attack; How Did Omani Co-Pilot Get Cleared?

Israel is facing fresh questions over its aviation security procedures after a report said Israeli authorities had received the crew list for Flydubai Flight FZ1073 before the aircraft departed Dubai for Tel Aviv. According to Haaretz, the Israeli Transportation Ministrys security department and Mossad are responsible for vetting non-Israeli flight crews and identifying potential security concerns. The Israel Tax Authority confirmed that it received the crew list, while the Transportation Ministry did not respond to questions about whether it had received the manifest or conducted its own screening. The issue has gained greater significance after the flights Omani co-pilot allegedly attacked Indian captain Smit Machchhar inside the cockpit. Passengers and two off-duty pilots reportedly intervened, helping regain control of the aircraft before it landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The UAE has since described the incident as an attempted terrorist act. Reports have also raised questions about the co-pilots previous employment history and whether he had earlier faced restrictions over alleged extremist views. One key question is now how the crew member was cleared to operate a flight carrying Israeli passengers into Israel, particularly given the reported restrictions on foreign flight crews. The investigation will need to establish whether relevant information was available to Israeli authorities, whether it was properly assessed, and whether any warning signs were missed before the aircraft took off
