Co-Pilot lived with his Parents

[itsrobert]

Described as quiet, nice guy. Dedicated to flying.

Interesting.

Friends of 27-year-old co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid, the son of a high-ranking civil servant who joined the national carrier in 2007, described him as a quiet, humble and respectful man, who lived with his deeply religious parents in a middle-class home.

2. Must be the First Officer...

The PIC was married, I believe.

3. Probably means captain (pilot), vs first officer (copilot).

4. Thanks Cooley hurd and Mr Hat. I thought the pilot was in his 50s?

I'll have to check but I thought the pilot was into his 50s and the co-pilot was in his 30s.

5. Watch out, you will soon be mocked and attacked for posting any facts,

when somebody assumes you are jumping to conclusions about his guilt.

6. Richard Quest said that was normal for Asia where things are expensive and adult

children often live at home.

[mythology]

7. And he had a job that resulted in a lot of travel

I have what one might call a hole in the wall apartment, but I'm never home between work and having various training classes. If I mostly just sleep there, why pay lots of money for it?

9. Richard Quest? CNN's Aviation expert?

11. I knew somebody was going to point that out.

[HipChick]

12. I didn't mean to...but his credentials are laughable..

[applegrove]

13. LOL!

[W_HAMILTON]

14. I was a little taken aback when I saw him described as that on CNN today.

Honestly, I just thought he was the British (?) version of Jeanne Moos.

10. yeah, it might be more suspicious if he didn't live with his parents

in this case . but it probably doesn't mean anything regardless of whether he had anything to do with what happened.

[treestar]

15. Yes, including married ones

the housing in South Korea was so expensive, young married couples end up with the husband's parents.

There are stories written about the young bride's life being taken over by the mother-in-law.

8. i think that's common in that area

so his

16. What is the cultural norm for single folk there?
