Model & pilots

Two pilots from Vietnam Airlines have been fined and suspended for a month, after a letting model pose in the co-pilot’s seat on a flight from Hong Kong to Hanoi last month.

Photos show the celebrity and former tourism ambassador for Vietnam, Ly Nha Ky, wearing a pilot’s hat and sunglasses, with the pilot next to her turned away from the controls. She was also seen hugging two flight attendants.

According to a report on CapitalBay, the plane was flying on auto-pilot at the time but aviation safety regulations were breached because the co-pilot had left his seat. The pilots had also allowed an unauthorised person into the cockpit.
This was also reported on multiple news sites online.
A Vietnam Airlines spokesperson said the airline had no prior knowledge of the incident and is waiting for official reporting from its staff, and that a separate investigation will follow.
In an earlier incident, Miss Universe Vietnam 2011 Hoang My was also caught in a plane cockpit.
LOL.... actually I cant blame her, the cockpit is really an unusual place. But the pilots should have known better...
