Hobbies are dangerous for work: the Chinese pilot is suspended from flights due to endless selfies

The Chinese pilot, who in one of the social networks called himself “90,000 Xiaobao”, became convinced of the danger of his hobby for work. He was suspended from flying because of the endless shooting of his face against the background of the workplace, that is, the cockpit.

The pilot of Air China was suspended from flight due to the constant shooting of himself in the cockpit. He did this before every flight. The man even created a special account on the social network Weibo, a local analogue of Twitter, where he posted his pictures.

More than 72,000 people signed up for the pilot’s page. After the airline management found out about his hobby, the "90,000 Xiaobao" was suspended. This measure was followed by an internal investigation. Also, the Chinese pilot had to delete his account and no longer do this.

“Why are passengers required to disconnect their digital devices during the flight, and pilots can ignore these rules?”, Representatives of the local press were indignant.

According to the airline’s management, their pilot’s hobby can “affect his emotions in flight.” In addition, the dashboard of the flying device was often featured in the pictures, which was unacceptable. The airline has promised that their employee will be severely punished for their actions.
