Passenger on flight spots something shocking in cockpit
A passenger on a Jet2 flight has spotted something quite shocking in the pilot’s cockpit on a flight that was travelling to the United Kingdom from Spain.
Steve Lewis posted the photo below, claiming he spotted a can of Stella Artois that sat by the captain’s side for 20 minutes as passengers waited to disembark.
The 59-year-old told The Sun, “After we had landed at around 20 past one, we were waiting on board for 20 minutes to get off, that’s when I noticed the can.
“The plane had landed and the seatbelt light came on. I stood up to get my suitcase and as I did the cockpit door opened and I noticed the can in the cockpit.
“I turned to my partner Steven, who didn’t believe me at first, but then he noticed you could clearly see the Stella branding.
“I was so shocked, I couldn’t understand why there was alcohol in the cockpit.”
Jet2 responded in a statement, saying, “Upon further investigation of the photograph, we can confirm that it is an unopened can which had been handed to a member of our cabin crew by a customer when they were leaving the aircraft.
“This unopened can was then put down in the cockpit by the member of cabin crew, so that she could continue helping customers as they disembarked.”
What are your thoughts? Do you think people are making too much of this? Or should the captain be reprimanded for his behaviour?
