Captain Ian Wilkinson was fired after he had made a low flyby on the flight to HK in Seattle. Ian was the chief pilot of Cathay's Boeing fleet!

why the heck did he do that! :shock:

It is with some regret that I have to inform you of a Disciplinary Hearing related to the delivery flight of our latest B777-300ER. The operating crew conducted a low level fly past at Everett Airport in Seattle, prior to departure for Hong Kong, without having obtained the necessary approval or authorization. Please could I remind all crew to refer to Vol 2, Part 2, Page 1-8-8 section 21 prior to any non-scheduled flight including demonstration flights or fly pasts.
The first stage of the D&G proceedings has taken place resulting in a decision to terminate the employment of the Pilot Flying and relieve the Pilot Monitoring of training duties for a period of 6 months. Both decisions are subject to the appeals process.

-
:lol: HHA!
-
They tend to send 737's, 747's, and 767's over the lake....
I saw a Lion Air 737-900ER a little while ago.
-
wow youre lucky i only see the daily Do 328 here :lol:
-
that is Lions Airs new order for 737-900's
-
hehehe. We also have Kenmore Air, that takes off and land on lake WAshington :P
-
The city I live in is directly in line with two MSP runways and close to the line of another. We see about 10 planes a minute fly over, and usually about 7 of those 10 are NWA DC-9's.

If he got the permission for that, no. But if he did that without permission he probably needs his brains exermined- you can't just pull off a one-man-stunt-show over a busy airport like FRA.

I always watching SAS's A340's come in. And Korean Air sometimes will send in a 747-400.
They always fly lower to the ground... Im not sure why...
-
Korean Air Cargo makes veeeeeeeery low passes (like when they are about 30 secs from landing) over my schools with their 744. Looks like the plane is crashing in the woods nearby when the plane passes so low.
-
poor guy :( how can someone get sacked for just doing a fantastic piece of a flyby and flying? :cry:
-
'Cause it can be kinda dangerous. What do you think would happen if a CX-plane crashed because of such stunts and investigators found out that the company accepted such stuff?
And besides, those planes are quite expensive. Lufthansa for example lost two B720s because the pilots tried to do a barrel roll in them :shock:
-
well, when you put it that way hes a silly guy :P
-
now this is low :shock:

Because they didn't follow their own proceedures? I mean why not just ignore their MEL (Minimum Equipment List) when they have a part missing off the aircraft since its ok to do a low-pass without permission?

He threw away £250,000 a year just for that.
I tried to ask him why but he didn't want to talk about it.
(But would you tell your Colleagues' Nephews' friend :P )
