British Airways pilot left cockpit door open mid-flight for family; suspended
New York: A British Airways pilot was reportedly suspended for risking the safety of passengers and crew members after he left the cockpit door open while operating flight from London Heathrow (LHR) to New York, John F. Kennedy (JFK) flight.
The pilot, whose identity remains anonymous, allegedly wanted his family, who were travelling as passengers, to watch him at the controls, as reported by The Sun.
“The door was wide open for a significant time, enough for people to worry and comment,” the report quoted its source as saying.
British Airways colleagues were so “alarmed that the pilot was reported in the US and bosses had to suspend him.”
An investigation into the case has been launched, and the return flight was cancelled. The passengers were offered alternative flights from New York to London.
