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.
đ¨EXCLUSIVE: Two United Airlines pilots deadheading on a flight operated by Ibrahim Mossallam after his return from a leave of absence reportedly gave up their first-class seats and spent the entire flight in the cockpit instead.
Why? According to sources familiar with the incident, they did not trust him and wanted to keep a close eye on him throughout the flight.
Sources also say United wanted to terminate Mossallamâs employment, but the pilotsâ union blocked the move.
