FlyDubai Attack Raises Questions About Pilot Background Checks

What the coverage shows

The New York Times frames the story around what background checks can and cannot detect, with experts saying health and criminal screening may not catch radicalization or concealed mental health issues. CNN instead focuses on the family’s account of the captain’s recovery after the cockpit attack, saying the family is avoiding questions to prevent flashbacks and that he is receiving military medical care. The two outlets diverge sharply in emphasis, and CNN is alone in foregrounding the wife’s remarks.
