i'm not sure what all the issues have been with your edits and the rest of the community as best as i can determine the issues are use of code share in lead changing tense is to was based on this edit in regards to wikipedia aviname the guideline is the following abridged for clarity where an aviation incident article begins with the opening sentence airline flight xyz it should go on to immediately describe the notability of the incident in as few as words as possible for this reason it is not necessary in the opening line to clarify that the flight number may still be in use or where it is normally scheduled to fly this is because the normal flight or flight number is not the subject of the article for example madeup airway flight was a passenger flight from somewhere to somewhere else that on such and such a day failed crashed blew up was hijacked correct i think the important part of the guideline is what i italicized i think the code share is important especially given the media coverage focusing on the men traveling on stolen passports whether or not that belongs in the lead doesn't matter to me it could be a separate sentence or mentioned in the incident section take a look at the example given in the guideline air florida flight and the recent high profile highly edited article air france flight both use two sentences first being to state the origin destination and the second stating the aircraft what happened i don't think there needs to be a reference to the men using stolen passports as officials do not believe they have links to terrorism it's also difficult to write about the significance of the flight without referencing it as crashed per wikipedia policies taking into account what i said here is a proposal for the lead if an official would just refer to the plane as presumed crashed then the following could be added as a second paragraph in the lead thoughts a good compromise
