Poor Captain

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!

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.

N. P. Rhodes
Director Flight Operations
