Replying to @united
@united is this a joke? I hope you understand the massive legal liability here besides the threat posed to the public.
🚨BREAKING: UNITED PILOT WHO DEFENDED OCT. 7 STILL FLYING A United Airlines pilot who described the October 7 attack as “resistance by a brave people” and said it was “not unprovoked” is still flying passengers for the airline. Ibrahim 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. Mossallam also serves as Vice President of the Board of CAIR-New York. I asked United a simple question: Why is he still flying passengers? As of now, United has not provided an official response. Watch the full report below. @united

Hey @united are you kidding me?
United Airlines captain Ibrahim R. Mossallam is reportedly still flying passengers as of October 6, 2026, despite describing the October 7 Hamas massacre, which killed 1,200 people and saw babies taken hostage, as “resistance by brave people.” Live and Let’s Fly reported on October 3 that he had returned to the cockpit as the captain.

IF THIS PRO-TERRORIST PILOT, IBRAHIM R MOSSALLAM, IS ACTUALLY FLYING UNITED AIRLINES PLANES, I WILL TURN IN MY UNITED CARD AND STOP FLYING ON UNITED AIRLINES FLIGHTS. PLEASE RETWEET!
