The Sun has the story of a 51 year old British Airways 777 captain who has been suspended after allegedly taking some very explicit pictures of himself in the cockpit of a plane full of passengers. You can find all the pictures with the story.
In the pictures, the pilot is shown wearing stockings while pleasuring himself, with his legs spread over the plane’s yoke and even over the engine throttles. On top of that, there are pictures of him having placed all kinds of porn over the plane’s instruments.
Per The Sun:
Serial numbers on the control panel suggest the pictures were taken aboard at least two separate British Airways planes.
The airline confirmed yesterday it was probing the images — and whether they were taken feet from passengers mid-flight.
BA said: “We are taking these allegations extremely seriously.”
Twice-married dad Glover — a BA Captain since 1990 — is thought to have denied to bosses the pictures are of him. But he is likely to be permanently grounded if they disagree.
I think the real big question here is where the co-pilot was when all this happened. While pilots rotate shifts on longhaul flights, there should be at least two people in the cockpit at all times. While one pilot may sometimes have to use the lavatory, typically a flight attendant enters the cockpit when that happens, so that there are always two people. This was emphasized once again after last year’s Germanwings crash, where the co-pilot flew the plane into the ground while the captain went to the bathroom.
Even if there weren’t always two people, is the co-pilot taking a quick bathroom break really enough time for the captain to take off his pants, put on stockings (if he wasn’t wearing them already), get out his porn, and take these pictures? Even if it was enough time, it seems that would have taken up all his attention. Very puzzling…
I’d be curious to know what comes of this investigation, though I suspect it won’t be made public.
I suspect this is a more common- almost habitual- activity in cockpits across the skies.
That is why we say BA stands for bloody awful!
Oh, those Brits!
Credit - I suspect you can't get a job with BA because you are a 14 year old Indian kid with lame peach fuzz facial hair. Shouldn't you be playing Minecraft in mommy's basement? Now...get back to jerking off to Hustler, since that's as close as you are getting to a lady any time soon.
Steve - I suspect you didn't even get a job at BA..
Not sure if blaming the tabloid or you Ben, for reposting this crap. You must need it urgently.... The clicks
Giggity giggity!
Very gross. I hope the cabin did not smell. Yuck.
Is Credit a pilot? That would explain a lot.
I've read somewhere that it was in fact in a flight simulator (no I didn't double check the pictures to confirm that). That would explain the missing copilot. Maybe.
The only issue here is if his taint smelled. You can't get that over the seat and make it smell for the next crew. What an idiot. If it's a long haul flight, which I'm sure it was on a 772, it must have smelled pretty damn bad.
Personally I don't care what the pilots do or don't do to themselves or with each other. My concern is that there is only ONE person in the cockpit.....isn't it a security requirement to have at least 2 in there at all times?
This is BA not Air India we're talking about here right?
But Im outta line if I want a 3rd drink. Airline employees are mostly losers that cant get a job elsewhere
"cockpit"
Sometimes, I can't help myself.
Brings a whole new meaning to "joystick"
Nobody (that I've read) does kinky sex stories better than the British tabloids.
"Airline expert Chris Yates said yesterday: 'This is very dangerous if the plane is in mid-flight.'"
What would we do without experts?
Reason #329 not to fly BA.....
Where was the copilot? Taking the pictures of course!
