BA pilot suspended after 'leaving cockpit door open' during flight so family could see
Passengers on board the Heathrow Airport to New York JFK British Airways flight were said to have been 'alarmed' after noticing the cockpit door had been left open for a prolonged period of time A British Airways pilot who allegedly left the cockpit door open during a flight has been suspended after 'breaching anti-terror laws'. The captain was flying from Heathrow Airport to New York JFK and allegedly wanted his family - who were on board the flight - to see him operating controls. Other passengers were said to be "alarmed" by the situation, and members of the crew reported the pilot to British Airways. He was suspended, and the Civil Aviation Authority launched an urgent investigation into the security breach. It meant the return flight that was due to land in London on August 8 was cancelled. Discussing what happened on the Heathrow to New York flight, a source told The Sun: "Crew and passengers immediately noticed the cockpit door was open and wanted to know what was happening. It made passengers incredibly uneasy. "The door was wide open for a significant time — enough for people to worry and comment. BA colleagues were so alarmed that the pilot was reported in the US and bosses had to suspend him.' Passengers impacted by the cancellation of the August 8 flight were offered alternative flights and the vast majority arrived within four hours of their original plan. The pilot has returned to flying after an investigation found there was no security threat. A British Airways spokesperson said: 'Safety and security is our top priority and allegations of this nature are always fully investigated.' Since the September 11 terror attacks in the US in 2001, pilots have been required to keep cockpit doors closed and locked to prevent unauthorised access. It comes after an easyJet pilot was suspended after he reportedly walked around a luxury hotel drunk and naked. The captain was scheduled to fly holidaymakers back to the UK from Cape Verde the following day but was grounded by the airline. It was reported that the unnamed pilot arrived at the five-star Melia Dunas Beach Resort and Spa, Cape Verde on August 4, and embarked on a drinking session at a bar which lasted into the early hours of the morning. At 2.30am he removed all his clothes and walked into the reception area before moving onto the gym and spa. He was due to operate a flight back to Gatwick around 36 hours later on the afternoon of August 6, but a replacement pilot was found. A source told The Sun: 'This was breathtakingly unprofessional behaviour from the pilot. It was the height of stupidity. His career with EasyJet is doomed.'

BA pilot suspended for allegedly leaving cockpit door open during flight from Heathrow
A British Airways pilot was suspended after allegedly leaving the cockpit door open during a transatlantic flight. He wanted his family – who were travelling as passengers – to see him operating the controls while flying from Heathrow to New York JFK last week, according to the Sun. The newspaper reported that his actions 'alarmed' some passengers, and other crew members alerted the airline about the incident. The pilot was suspended, meaning the return flight scheduled to arrive at Heathrow on August 8 was cancelled. Affected passengers were offered alternative flights and the vast majority arrived within four hours of their original plan, it's understood. The pilot has returned to flying after an investigation found there was no security threat. A British Airways spokesperson said: 'Safety and security is our top priority and allegations of this nature are always fully investigated.' Since the September 11 terror attacks in the US in 2001, pilots have been required to keep cockpit doors closed and locked to prevent unauthorised access. It emerged earlier this week that an easyJet captain who reportedly walked around a luxury hotel drunk and naked has been suspended. He was scheduled to fly holidaymakers back to the UK from Cape Verde, west Africa, around 36 hours later but was grounded by the airline.
