Pity there's always that 5% or so in the profession that are retarded enough to tarnish the rest. Maybe they're the ones that have been sniffing the chemtrail fumes. I mean, what's wrong with mounting a GoPro like many others which you can also hook into the intercom and radio? I'd be interested to know exactly what sanctions, if any, were given to him. To both pilots, in fact, as the other had to be in agreement. Add to that the senior cabin crew member who could have insisted or even phoned the company before take off when they knew what was going on? On the limited information we have it appears a cut and dried case for summary (ie instant) dismissal, perhaps for both pilots, and possibly suspension of their licences as this is a clear violation of regulations. Actions like this immediately brings into question whether each is a "fit and proper person" to hold an ATPL. (Yes, that is one of the criteria for an ATPL and Class 1 medical).
