KUALA LUMPUR: The co-pilot of MH370 Fariq Abdul Hamid was flying a Boeing 777 for the sixth time during the incident on March 8, said MAS CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya.
“MAS is very strict with its training. For the first five flights, the co-pilot flies with a ‘check’ co-pilot. This was his (Fariq’s) sixth flight and we did not see any problem with him. The sixth flight doesn’t require a check co-pilot,” he said yesterday.
