Flydubai pilot recounts cockpit axe attack, engine power loss

A Flydubai pilot publicly described for the first time an in-flight assault by the copilot using the emergency axe, during which engines lost power and the aircraft entered a dive. The incident, previously reported, is now corroborated by the pilot's firsthand account, which emphasizes systemic lessons over blame. This raises questions about cockpit security protocols and crew vetting in civil aviation.
