Thumbs down Airlines in Mexico gets away from this(pic)

I saw this pic from my friend FB

what do you think?

he states this

"This is why I never ever ever fly with Mexican Airlines... the pilots never ever follow the RULES of the company... If you ever come to Mexico always travel with American carrier. "

they just fired a VivaAerobus captain for letting some chick physically sit in left seat during cruise flight.

before we point a finger south of the border for "poor judgement" by this crew, remember we (USA) have had a crew completely fall asleep, a crew fly past destination, landed at wrong airports, etc etc. (and so has every other country).

with that said, I would have no problem flying the latin carriers, major brands. Aeromexico, Avianca, TACA, COPA, Interjet and Volaris. Most of those dudes "earned their way" to the cockpit via flying turboprop corporate or RJ's or their country's military.

Mexico is NOT Air Orient with 300 hour wonder kid in right seat.

If he actually believes that based on a photo of a kid sitting in the seat on the ground. You friend is an idjit.

The Landing gear being up would lead most to believe they were in the air.

Wait a minute, don't we let flight attendants sit up front in the US when one of the crew is indisposed? How do we know she isn't a flight attendant? I don't know if she is in uniform or not, but she could be deadheading, or have spilled something on her uniform. She is wearing a safety vest, so this could be a repo flight with company staff on board.

Why on earth do supposedly intelligent people take photos that can (and will) get them in trouble (and possibly fired?) Jesus.

Because they are looking to be inducted into the Charles Darwin Hall of Fame.

While I love men and find them fascinating...I think it's more a case of the blood flow going to the little head instead of the big one!
