Airline pilots suspended for letting child ‘fly’ plane
'Two pilots have been suspended for allowing a 10-year-old boy to operate cockpit controls during a commercial passenger flight in Algeria, according to local news reports. '
'When the video and pictures were released, the national airline, Air Algérie, grounded the two pilots while the incident is investigated. '
'Before take-off, the pilots treated the boy to a tour of the plane, pointing out the mechanical workings of the wheels and examining the jet’s exterior. '
'I am sure he will make a good pilot.”The pilot says the child was able to manipulate the aircraft — a clear breach of civil aviation regulations. '
'A video of the incident broadcast by the Algerian TV channel El Bilad shows the boy, wearing a captain’s hat, a tie and a black waistcoat, sitting in the left-hand pilot’s seat. '
