KFI: Two pilots for Jet Airways are in serious trouble stemming from an incident in January 2018, when they allowed a female friend to join them in the cockpit during a flight from Gao to Mumbai. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation suspended their licenses for one month for compromising “the safety of aircraft operations and its occupants.”
“Captain(s) permitted the entry of unauthorised person into cockpit of flight number 9W 762. Hence compromised with the safety of aircraft operations and its occupants…. privileges of pilot licences are hereby suspended in public interest for one month.”
Despite their suspensions, Jet Airways allowed them to fly the day after their punishment was handed down. The airline told the Times of India they promptly admitted their mistake and blamed managerial oversight for allowing the pilots to operate an aircraft. more here
Yikes! Totally off topic but stunning.

I guess they shouldn’t have let her take the stick.
But – How big were their balls?
That’s one way to beat a fortified cockpit door. Could explain all those weird moves by Flight 370 before it disappeared.
@I AM TOSK…
My wife is all into ship-lap now, thanks to Chip and Joanna. We had talked about grooved plywood while discussing ship-lap technique. Suddenly, I am getting ads on my phone for routers, with pictures of them…putting grooves in plywood. Coincidence? I think not.
It would seem that the normal and natural place for a female to be is in the Cock-pit!
We had lots a gurls ridin’ wit us in our tanks on Anzio.
What’s the etymology of “cockpit”?
“A place in the front of the Plane where the Pilots sit…
But that’s not important right now”
Captain Oveur: You ever been in a cockpit before?
Joey: No sir, I’ve never been up in a plane before.
Captain Oveur: You ever seen a grown man naked?
What if she just sat down between them??? Just saying
@ I AM TOSK. Holy shit!
I told them and told them, but they just laughed and handed me tin foil. Who is laughing now mf’ers??
He didn’t ask for a definition of cockpit; he asked for the origin of the word.
The Oxford English Dictionary says:
Originally, a pit or enclosed area in which game-cocks are set to fight for sport; a place constructed for cock-fighting.
Did the fly”United”?
So with her up front it is now called a “box office” instead of a “cockpit”
There are a lot of people who do not understand the name of the control room in a plane.
If men are at the controls it is a Cockpit.
If women are at the controls it is a Box Office.
Years ago, an Oregon State police trooper was fired for having “a sex act performed on him” in his patrol car, while on duty. The union got involved, and after a hearing, he was reinstated to his job. The OSP spokesperson, in making the announcement that the cop was returning to duty stated: “At no time was public safety compromised; all the officer had to do was zip-up and go.”
