Just doing a job that Americans refuse to do I guess.....

The captain allowed Esmeralda Ugalde, 23, to sit in his seat and take possession of the controls, even giving her his hat to wear

The plane, and the pilot, were both on auto-pilot at the time, although in different ways.

I’d be inclined to declare Hot & Guilty!

I wonder how often this sort of nonsense goes on at other airlines? I remember an incident of this type happened on a Air France (I think) flight also.

The pilot might be guilty but not by association.

Not quite guilty?

Seriousness of the charge vs. mitigating circumstances?

About 20 years ago a Soviet airliner crashed,killing all aboard,because the pilot allowed his young son to take the controls.

The pilot was running the aircraft much like most businesses are now run—like a brothel.

Remembering the flight I had on a Mexican airline, she likely did the job just about as well.

We all laughed that he was a frustrated dive bomber pilot from the way he descended. NO easing off the power for that guy, he dove. Scared hell out of everyone.

I’ve flown with a lot of unattractive, hairy-legged, butt-scratching wannabe singers in the military but never anything like this.

Used to be a time honored tradition here too until once again, something righteous was ruined by the damned moslems.
Oh, and NOT guilty!

Now you know why it is called the “cockpit”.

I wonder if the plane was flown by “control stick”. Just asking.

Nothing like a hot tamale at 30,000 feet rather than “A Nightmare at 20,000 Feet” (thank you Bill Shatner for signing that “Twilight Zone” card of that show. Now worth $400 and climbing).
