New Update Oct. 7, 11:18 a.m. Pacific time: Ibrahim Mosallam’s suspension lasted all of one day.
đ¨đ¨Guess whoâs back flying for United Airlines after just ONE day off?
Ibrahim Mossallam.
After being pulled from the schedule, he is apparently back in the cockpit almost immediately.
So what exactly was Unitedâs âreviewâ and what changed in 24 hours?

Since I wrote this article yesterday, Ibrahim Mosallam has been suspended with pay, that is, given a paid vacation. Not fired.
đ¨BREAKING: A new development in the case involving a United Airlines pilot: the airline has decided to suspend Ibrahim Mossallam from active duty and remove him from the flight schedule at least through the end of the month â with pay â while it conducts a renewed review of the matter.
Based on the information, this is not a termination at this stage, but rather a temporary removal from the cockpit. That means Mossallam is not expected to operate passenger flights in the near term, although he could potentially be returned to active duty once the review is completed.
We need to keep the pressure on United Airlines.
Keep contacting the company, keep sending messages, and make your voice heard. A temporary suspension is not enough.
If you believe Ibrahim Mossallam should no longer be employed as a United pilot, tell United directly and demand that they take permanent action.

New in PJ Media:

Every time anyone wants to fly today, he or she must submit to the humiliation and annoyance of the Transportation Security Administrationâs security theater. A Muslim co-pilotâs attempted hijacking of a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv last Wednesday, however, demonstrated that even once youâre through security, there is nothing really secure about it. A rogue pilot can always carry out the jihad that the thoroughly searched and cowed passengers cannot. And in America today, this is a very real and specific threat.
The Israeli journalist Libby Blanca Alon, who is the senior White House correspondent for Israelâs C14 News, reported Monday that âa United Airlines pilot who described the October 7 attack as âresistance by a brave peopleâ and said it was ânot unprovokedâ is still flying passengers for the airline.â
This is far more than a matter of the pilot expressing noxious sentiments. If the October 7 jihad massacre, in which Hamas murdered 1,200 Israelis, was âresistance by a brave people,â then whatâs to prevent the pilot from deciding that his âbrave peopleâ also need to show resistance against the foremost allies of their alleged oppressor? What if he decides that the best form that this âresistanceâ could take would be to down an airplane in imitation of another jihadi pilot, the Omani Hamam al-Hammami, who attempted to crash the Flydubai flight last week?
Alon continued: âIbrahim R. Mossallam was temporarily removed from flying duties after the post sparked outrage, but later returned to the cockpit. Since then, he has continued posting strongly anti-Israel statements.â Why was he allowed to resume flying? Donât United Airlines officials realize that theyâre playing with the lives of their passengers? Or were they more afraid that Mosallam would charge them publicly with âIslamophobia,â and that theyâd lose the approval of the woke and blinkered left?
That was a live possibility, since as it turns out, Mosallam is an official of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which wields accusations of âIslamophobiaâ like a club against anyone and everyone who dares to express even the mildest negative sentiment about Islam or the crimes done in its name and in accord with its teachings. Alon notes that Mossallam âalso serves as Vice President of the Board of CAIR-New York.â
Sure enough, the CAIR-New York website lists Ibrahim R. Mossallam as its Board Vice-President, and says proudly: âIbrahim is a professional international airline pilot. He majored in Aeronautical Science and minored in World Religions. Ibrahim is passionate about community empowerment and is very active in shaping the Muslim youth community. He currently serves as board member of AMP-NY and is a MAS-NY Chapter Council member.â
There is more. Read the rest here.

A ticking time bomb ready to go off against the west at any time. We are insane to let this member of the death cult fly our planes!

and unhappily, I am flying Delta Sunday………………..
James Lincoln says
For starters, the flight surgeon for United Airlines needs to immediately ground Ibrahim R. Mossallam for mental instability.
He also needs to pass a current security clearance.
If the United Airlines leadership wants to go against these recommendations, whatever happens is on them.
Taffy says
His postings would automatically disqualify him for any type of clearance. In the secure areas of defense plants, even the cleaning staff has to be able to get confidential clearance. Of If I were in charge, a pilot would have to get the equivalent of DOW secret clearance.
It used to be that all pilots that flew for domestic airlines flew planes for the military. Then they would put in their hours flying freight before being allowed to be in the cockpit of a passenger plane. Iâm not sure if the current route to full captain n state s.

the terrorist on the flydubai flight…the co-pilot…who attempted to crash it after attacking the pilot….was not supposed to fly, ether. But, he did anyway.
