知情人士透露，这名刺伤机长并导致1073号航班俯冲向地面的FlyDubai副驾驶，此前因被认为持有激进意识形态观点，曾被阿曼禁止飞行。
The FlyDubai co-pilot who stabbed his captain and sent Flight 1073 diving toward the ground had previously been banned from flying by Oman over concerns he had adopted radical ideological views, people familiar with the matter said.
尽管有禁令，这名阿曼籍飞行员仍被FlyDubai聘用，知情人士称，这使他得以驾驶连接阿联酋和以色列的敏感航线。
Despite the ban, the pilot, an Omani national, was hired by FlyDubai, the people said, allowing him to pilot on the sensitive route connecting the United Arab Emirates and Israel.
