A British Airlines pilot has reportedly been suspended after a series of photographs surfaced of a man doing all sorts of sex things in a cockpit, including masturbating while wearing women’s stockings (with his feet sprawled on the joystick, no less) and looking at porn magazines sprawled across the plane’s control deck.
Other photographs reportedly show the man exposing himself in one of the plane’s lavatories and looking at nude playing cards which are spread throughout the cockpit.
The Sun reports that the airline temporarily grounded Captain Colin Glover, 51, after learning of the photographs pending an investigation. “We are taking these allegations extremely seriously,” a rep told the tabloid.
Glover, for his part, has reportedly denied that the photos are of him.
While it’s possible the photos were taken in a flight simulator, The Sun claims serial numbers in the pics suggest they were taken in at least two different BA jets, including a Boeing 777. The Daily Mail reports Glover’s LinkedIn shows he worked 777 flights, along with others.
“This is very dangerous if the plane is in mid-flight,” Airline expert Chris Yates told the paper. “If you are flying, you can fly into serious turbulence.”
