Any Australians remember Barry Hemple ? ;)
Will this result in his firing from EK?

If he hadn't attracted attention to himself by yelling "I love my Boeing!!!" "whilst" conducting said act, he may have got away with it. :)
This isn't Yank bashing....He did that all by himself. But we now know why those grubby finger prints are on the screens.

The article says luxury hotel.
That indicates expensive.
Ergo, ruling out any EK pilot. Unless they are on a management bonus structure.

Looks like the court "conveniently" forgot about the UAE law that prohibits taking photographs of people without their consent...or does that only apply to locals?

A bit hard to work when you have been deported as the article says is what is going to occur.
Haven't heard from Fliion................... :eek:

OK, just wondering here, does anyone else find it troubling that he was arrested and placed on a sex offender list for that?
Granted, humping your bicycle seat is a bit odd. Not really my cup of tea, but it's an inanimate object, so no real offense against a person was committed.
But the troubling part is this: Whatever he was doing, freakish or not, he was doing in the privacy of his own room, as far as I can tell. And the people who witnessed him, did so by unlocking his locked door with a pass key.
OK, if you're humping your bicycle seat in public, that's one thing, but doing something in the privacy of your locked room, how does that get turned into a crime and you into a sex offender????
Funny, I was thinking the same thing.

A*A my thoughts exactly but there is an even more important question, how do you hump your bicycle? :oh:
