2 Pilots suspended for allowing ‘lady friend’ fly in cockpit

                   

Two Jet Airways pilots in India will never forget their work experience after being officially suspended by the carrier for letting an unauthorized "friend" sit in the cockpit during the trip from Goa to Mumbai. Times of India reports that pilots are now having bigger problems because they ignored a one-month temporary license suspension from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and illegally agreed to take over plane to Jet Airways.    Both had simulator training, and one pilot flew during his initial grounding period.
For their part, Jet Airways has blamed an organizational oversight as the root of the escalating trouble in what the Times has dubbed “the lady-in-cockpit episode.”
“An administrative oversight led to a Jet Airways pilot, currently off flying duties, being assigned a training flight after completing a ground training session,” an airline spokesman told the outlet.

“The company has proactively reported the event to the DGCA and has already fixed the gap in the assignment process, to prevent its reoccurrence, following an internal investigation.”
DGCA official Lalit Gupta told Jet Airways that the pilot’s actions aboard flight 9W 762 on January 8 “compromised with the safety of aircraft operations and its occupants,” a disgrace to the “privilege of their pilots licenses.”
As of press time, the status of the pilot’s employment with Jet Airways is not immediately clear, as the carrier did not immediately return Fox News’ request for comment.Räägi sõbrale... #AFRICA ... spill TEA ABOUT THE TOPIC ABOVE.... Easy on Shade #jaiyeorie
