I think you're missing the fact that he went into a steep dive before they got into the cockpit, so being choked out had nothing to do with it. He was still ~45 min. from Israel and it would have made more sense for him to wait until he was in Israeli airspace to begin his attack.
So you just described the MLCOA from my reply. He wasn't able to carry out his MDCOA due to being choked and pulled out of the cockpit. The 737-8 is not fly by wire, so kicking the rudder pedals could cause that damage.

Libertarians have always been globalists. This is exactly why they are intersecting with the left right now. They aren't the isolationists they pretend to be.
*cracks knuckles* Libertarians are going to win the next election for the Left. They’re the Lefts greatest allies. Totally fucking worthless, useful idiots for destroying this country.

There is a phenomenon called the phugoid pattern where planes, with enough air speed, will fly straight and level on their own, considering the trim is set up for that. You can see on the flight summary where the plane did an up and down pattern after it pulled out of the dive.
I wonder if the plane’s autopilot programing kicked in to help auto-level the plane in response to the yoke pull?

The real identity of the Omani terrorist pilot linked to the FlyDubai hijacking attempt has been revealed. His name is Mohammed Hamam Al-Hammami. He was fired by Oman Air in 2024–2025 for regularly browsing extremist websites and expressing support for the Islamic State, jihad, and anti-non-Muslim sentiments during conversations with colleagues. He was hired by FlyDubai without a background check. His mother is of Syrian origin. He visited Pakistan in August 2026 and Turkey in May 2026. His diary reportedly contains praise for several terrorists, including Osama bin Laden, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and Maulana Masood Azhar. It is a truly shocking incident that FlyDubai hired a terrorist as one of its pilots. Incidents like these make passengers feel extremely unsafe, and one should not be surprised if, in the future, people start asking about a pilot's religion before flying.

These are some important data points relevant to my post yesterday about FlyDubai. I also want to give credit to @marinemom2025 and @Deb4Empowerment for the analysis and graphics.
After a conversation and tip from my friend @Deb4Empowerment about the mountain ridge along FlyDubai FZ1073’s route to Tel Aviv, I went back through the historical flight tracks for this specific route and aircraft dating to November 3, 2025. What I found caught my attention. For months, the flights generally followed a more conventional path across Saudi Arabia toward Israel. But beginning around late June or July, the routing appears to start changing. By August 9–10, the track looks increasingly aligned with the edge of the mountain ridge. By August 20, that alignment becomes even more pronounced. That raises a very simple question: who was issuing or approving these flight plans after June, and why did the routing change? The mountain ridge matters because of what sits just beyond it. An aircraft continuing north on the far side of that terrain could be only minutes from Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, while the ridge could potentially affect line-of-sight visibility depending on altitude and position. I’m not claiming the historical routes prove intent. They don’t. But when a flight pattern that was relatively consistent for months begins changing and increasingly follows a specific geographic feature, it is worth asking why. I’m going to post the historical tracks side by side so people can look at the progression themselves. You decide.

They used to execute the executioner if they messed up. Just a thought.
Tennessee Prison Commissioner resigns after failed execution of Christa Pike "I appreciate his willingness to put the interests of Tennesseans first during this difficult moment,” said Governor Bill Lee in a press statement Saturday. wkrn.com/news/tennessee-news…

The FlyDubai flight was chosen specifically for not only who was onboard, but the flight number as well. FZ-1073 October 7, 3 years after that day. The plane made a sharp turn and the flight path led directly to one of our bases in Jordan. It's possible the FO was going to fly below the ridgeline of the mountains to avoid radar and crash the plane into an American base. OR, think about this, fly the plane into Israel where the Israeli air force would have had to shoot down the plane. Think of the implications of that. These radical Islamists are diabolical.

They sure do love their symbolism… It’s almost like we should be able to predict these sorts of things at this point.

This is outrageous. They are selling AR-15 bullets in the grocery stores now. What is this country coming to?
My grocery store is cooler than your grocery store.

Oxygen masks are triggered by a sudden drop in air pressure, not altitude. Air pressure goes up as you descend.
I thought oxygen masks come out when planes suddenly nosedive 14,000 feet. Like in this picture.
Community note
A 14,000-foot nosedive alone does not trigger oxygen masks. They deploy when cabin-pressure altitude becomes excessive; FAA rules require automatic presentation before it exceeds 15,000 feet. ecfr.gov/current/title-…
