BA Pilot suspended for flying wearing stockings
 

BA pilot suspended for 'photos of him performing sex acts at 38,000ft' | Daily Mail Online

This is almost unbelievable

I know... FL380...

Suspended, or suspendered?

:ooh:

Well, it is in the Daily Wail. It'll probably turn out to be Elvis.

he denies its him in the photos but if not him who? What was the FO doing through all this ?
He was hardly up front alone.
All seems very strange

While flying - was he pilot-in-command at the time? I hadn't realised that was the real meaning of "Handling Pilot"...

Does this mean he was alone in the cockpit^h^h^h^h^h^h^h flight deck?

Oh, dear!
Are they accepting applications? Where's my CV?

I guess those fancy computer tests and verbal reasoning in the selection tests don't quite hire the perfect pilots.

Wouldn't happen in EK or QR would it?

In order for me to avoid any future 'misunderstandings', how exactly, am I supposed to do my business in the toilet without exposing myself? The one thing more dangerous than a rogue airline pilot is an ill-educated Daily Mail journalist.

Stuff does happen in 'airlines from that region', but it is swept under the carpet very well to protect the brand. I have seen enough ;-)

And there was me thinking that the autopilot flew the aeroplane and ATC brought it down safely:ugh::ugh::hmm::hmm:

Thanks for that great advice Mr Airline Expert.

Pleasuring yourself in turbulence. Is that a good or bad thing? Could the turbulence not add to the experience?

BA may want to reconsider the ban they have on husbands and wives flying in same cockpit. Make sure they at least 10 years married, no way there would be any hanky panky going on...........................anywhere.

Jeez this is going to take up more time in the briefing, after checking documents I guess we're going to have to check each other for evidence of kinky undies now😂

No Sex Please, we're British..

Guess that is out the door now? :rolleyes:

In controlled airspace!

Well, it looks like the Sun is claiming that they alerted BA:

One of the aircraft registrations looks like G-YMMB, a B-772. Another possible registration is G-VIIB, another B-772.

You might want to wipe down the yoke and throttles if you are flying these aircraft. :eek:

You can't say he's a prevert, he has the right to express his sexuality, the company must accommodate his disability etc., etc., etc...

For the cows wearing nappies one - not exactly but the effect of the fertilizer ban on hillsides above a certain gradient was indeed supposedly that cows would have to wear nappies to stop their dung being dropped as it is regarded as fertilizer.
Or of course simply not put the cows on such pastures anymore

I suppose the EU rapidly rowed back from that one so goodnes know what happened to the hill farmers of Germany.

The Acres ban is quite clear cut.
The exemption that allows pints and miles and acres to be used in official documents was modified to remove the exemption for Acres.
So indeed all official documents must now use Hectares.
Any sale documents which want to quote acres must also quote Hectares.
The EU even confirms this is the case here:
Acres outlawed by Brussels - European Commission

The milk jug ban was indeed a fabrication - however the 2013 proposed ban on plain olive oil jugs in restaurants was not. Apparently they were to be in the original tamper proof factory packaging they came in. The resulting outrage in Southern Europe had the EU rapidly changing course on this one and kicking it into the long grass forever. So not surprisingly this one does not appear on the list.
