"A Chinese pilot has been banned from flying for life for allowing a young woman to visit the cockpit.
The incident happened on an Air Guilin flight 10 months ago, but the photos taken by the woman – later identified as Chen Yuying, a student who planned to become a flight attendant after graduation – only went viral on Sunday.
Chen, a third-year student at Guilin Tourism University, was seen posing in front of a tea set sitting in a pilot’s seat, and added a caption that read: “I am super thankful to the pilot! I am so thrilled!”
The picture, which was spotted this week on Weibo by someone working in the air industry, caused an uproar among aviation specialists.
They pointed out that it was taken when the plane was in mid-flight and identified the airline.
Air Guilin issued a statement on Monday confirming that the unnamed pilot had violated air safety rules.
