Not very funny or clever of who-ever took the photo in the light of what damage photos have done in the very recent past.
And then to allow it to get into the wrong hands...
Idiots!

Perhaps...but either way, taking a photo like that and clearly "giving" it to that rag is cras...must have been a local. Cant imagine an expat F/O or S/O doing that, and I would be truly shocked if they did.
I am sure the skipper will probably recall the flight...and who the snitch was.

As I said, I agree with you 100%, I'm not for one moment defending what he did.
All I'm saying is that it can be either an F/O or S/O.
Hopefully the skipper doesn't get in any trouble and better yet, hopefully he names the idiot who must then be fired for taking pics on the flight deck whilst in control of the aircraft whilst the skipper was taking some controlled rest.

How do we know this pic was actually taken on a CX aircraft?? Because the journo says so...
Further if the guy in the LHS was not a captain the photographer couldn't have been an SO...

You must read Henry's pages of 'it's all your fault' clauses. That will make us all sleep better -secure in the knowledge that Cathay managers and crew control have this all fixed.
Fly safely - in spite of our gallant leaders. Actually - take a look at them. Apart from Hoey they all seem to be a perfect example of either the 'Peter principle ' or ' if you want it -you can have it' !

Well Frog;
bushcat 400,
I'm surprised the Moderator has allowed your redneck racially charged remark " it must have been a local " to stand. The sooner China thins out the ranks of well frogs like you the better off our society will be.
O.P.

It was probably taken during the second sector of this flight mentioned in the article -
"The pattern for another problem flight going from Colombo in Sri Lanka to Hong Kong via Hong Kong has been altered already because of fatigue problems and continues to be monitored, the analysis said."

Eh, what is the problem?
Taking a 40 minute cat nap, or multiples thereof, with pillows and blankets, are allowed by the SOP's.
How else do you cope with all the crap rostering?
If we go 3 crew ULH it will only get worse.
Or is the crime that the fare paying public have found out that one of the crew is asleep a lot of the time?

There are still some trees left for you to go and hug 
At least I am prepared to croak about the facts.
Doesn't matter where you go or who you work for, there is always some leftist-liberal-pinko lurking waiting to pop its head up. And since when is it racially charged to state a fact? a local is a local. Go crawl up Beijing's backside, clearly where you belong
