Error on the page: He knew the crew was altered from one to another, since he was a member of the original crew, hence wy it would only be 2 ppl he would have to overpower, as oppose to three now when he decided to go jumpseat. This is all covered in: Discovery Channel Mayday Air Disasters S03E04 124.120.83.37 05:31, 24 January 2007 (UTC) Zarkow[reply]
-The above is true. I have this video on DVD. Also, it should be pointed out that the co-pilot rolled the aircraft and put it through extreme manuevers to keep the attacker off balanced.
-I'm not convinced by this article entirely. How would he have known he was going to be fired. If he had been fired then he wouldn't have been allowed to hitch a ride on the plane. Also why would he take the time to carefully pick weapons to disguise the accident as a crash and then fly the plane into FedEx headquarters. That seems way too far-fetched. I'm sure his intentions were to crash the plane but I doubt he wanted to crash into FedEx headquarters. It wouldn't like an accident and his family couldn't get a compensation payout then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matt86m (talk • contribs) 15:12, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is this article title correct? That is, was Fed(eral)Ex(press) using the "FedEx Express" name in 1994? Trivialist (talk) 01:05, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Initially, the summary is linked to only the 'Aircraft Hijacking' article. I updated the summary so that it links to both 'Suicide by pilot' and 'Aircraft Hijacking' articles. If this change needs to be reverted then please leave the reason for doing so on my talk page. --TransportFan2014 (talk) 23:43, 2 November 2018 (UTC)TransportFan2014[reply]
I don't think that the disabling of the FDR and CVR aboard SilkAir Flight 185 is really comparable to what happened in this incident, because the FedEx FDR and CVR are known to have been deliberately disabled by someone other than the flight crew, and the disabled FDR and CVR were discovered and reactivated. The reason that the SilkAir FDR and CVR were disabled was not and cannot be conclusively determined. Carguychris (talk) 17:31, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
