A year ago, the artist Mohamed Ramadan announced that he had tried to compensate the arrested pilot by helping him find suitable work in another private airline in order to return to his profession, and also to work with the Rotana company.
However, pilot Abu Al-Yusr rejected the offer because he became without a license and could not work elsewhere due to Muhammad Ramadan's video.
Abu Al-Yusr added that his personal lawyer held a negotiation session with Muhammad Ramadan's financial director, and asked him to make 9.5 million Haniyeh compensation for him, and Ramadan promised that if the public asked him to give him this money, he would not hesitate to do so.
At the same time, public comments came in support of Abu Al-Yusr, at a time when Ramadan ignored calls to compensate the arrested pilot.
The beginning of the crisis
The lawsuit filed by Captain Pilot Ashraf Abu Al-Yusr came after Muhammad Ramadan published photos of him and a video on board the plane, and stated in the lawsuit that Ramadan used it to promote a video clip for his song "Versace", in whose words he says, "You don't search at the airport" (I am not subject to airport searches. " And during which he took advantage of the photo of the writer Ashraf Abu Al-Yusr in the scene of the plane's pilot.
Abu Al-Yusr said that Ramadan, who sat next to him to the driver's seat instead of the co-pilot, told him that he would take private pictures and videos for his children only, before he was surprised by them spread on social networking sites with a voice comment from another person who filmed saying, "Muhammad Ramadan is driving the plane right Now".
The Civil Aviation Authority imposed a penalty on Ashraf Abu Al-Yusr to withdraw his license for life for violating safety standards while flying, and to withdraw his assistant's license for a year.
