Robbery in skies, Routes of Arabia, Weddady’s response to Khouri
- Have you heard of the Air France flight attendant who was arrested for robbing passengers? Muhammed al-Ahidib provides four reasons why this woman would not have been able to steal if she were working for Saudi Arabian Airline.
- Here is another good review for Routes d’Arabie, this time from Bloomberg.
- Nasser Weddady offers another fine rebuttal to Rami Khouri’s op-ed in NYT. At the end of his blogpost, Weddady comments on a part of Khour’s article that I chose to ignore, which is about the “hypocrisy” of US government’s interest in social media while it supports the very same dictatorships that crush liberties. This is an old and overused argument, and something I have touched on in my op-ed in the same newspaper last year.

Excellent and hilarious list! However, could one also add that Saudi Airlines doesn’t employ Saudi nationals as hostesses, so the thieving iqama holders would fear deportation?
