Cathay Pacific has launched disciplinary proceedings after a captain was photographed asleep at the controls of a passenger flight from Dubai to Hong Kong, the South China Morning Post reported Sunday.
Cathay Pacific bosses launched action against an employee who took a photo of the captain as he had “power nap” in cockpit at 11,000 meters on Dubai-Hong Kong flight, the newspaper said.
The photo was taken in August, it said.
The airline employee, who took the picture, leaked it to a journalist for use in a newspaper, the report said.
Photo included.............................
However, it is the colleague who took the picture and not the sleeping pilot who is under investigation
over the shot taken on board a flight from Dubai to Hong Kong in August.
The airline confirmed the sleeping pilot was doing nothing wrong as 'controlled rest' is permitted
during cruise times on flights in exceptional circumstances to combat fatigue at critical times
