[Jonti Roos] says she has been contacted by the distraught family of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane co-pilot after she revealed his alleged misconduct on an earlier flight.
Ms Roos says she has been criticised as an attention seeker and even contacted by the family of Mr Hamid, who has become a key suspect in the mysterious disappearance of flight MH370.
"Obviously his family would have been upset by this," Ms Roos told Inside Story. "They told me that they felt he'd been painted in a bad light.
"But that wasn't my attention. I never said he was bad or incompetent.
"I understand why they'd be upset about this because they didn't know what happened in the cockpit, and they think I must have been blaming him but I wasn't."
Ms Roos also defended telling her story despite the outrage it attracted from many.
"If any of my family members were on that flight then I would want to know absolutely everything," she said.
"Even if it does seem irrelevant I would want to know."
