The captain of Guilin Airlines grounded and other crew members were also fined
For the photo of a female passenger entering the cockpit of an aircraft suspected to be in flight, Guilin airlines reported yesterday that it was confirmed that the incident occurred on Guilin Airlines gt1011 Guilin Yangzhou flight on January 4, 2019. In view of the captain's violation of civil aviation regulations to allow irrelevant personnel to enter the cockpit, Guilin Airlines decided to impose a lifelong grounding on the captain concerned, and impose an indefinite grounding on other crew members involved and accept the company's further investigation (Beijing Youth Daily, November 5).
The cockpit, which was supposed to be an iron wall, has become a popular punch in place -- not only difficult to calm, but also chills people's back.
Guilin airlines' latest response is very clear: the matter is true and the punishment is heavy. The captain was' grounded for life 'and other crew members were' grounded indefinitely '- is this ticket heavy? I'm afraid the answer has to be 'broken down below'. The reason is very simple. The subject of this punishment is Guilin airlines, not the Civil Aviation Administration. In other words, the so-called "permanent grounding" is only for the captain during his tenure in Guilin airlines, not the "red card" of the captain's flight license by the Civil Aviation Administration.
If you have to find a frame of reference to see the 'penalty standard' of similar events, it is not without a new precedent: in October 2019, the famous Egyptian actor Ramadan shared a video online - when he took the business plane of Egyptian intelligent airlines, he entered the cockpit in flight and sat in the captain's seat for experience. Later, the pilot's license of the captain was revoked by the Egyptian civil aviation authority, and the co pilot was grounded for one year, while the chief executive of the smart airline involved resigned amid public resentment. You know, it was a private flight, and the passenger plane did not carry other passengers; However, such a ticket is enough to let people see the importance of the administrative department to air traffic safety.
It is worth saying that after the ticket of Guilin Airlines came out, some 'senior captain' thought that 'the punishment standard cannot be increased at will'. There are no more than two reasons: first, it is considered that although the entry of wanghong into the cabin is illegal, it is not a dangerous behavior; The second is to question the legality and compliance of 'lifelong grounding'. It's not dangerous to enter the cockpit. I'm afraid it can't be taken for granted. In the 1994 Russian air crash, the captain who took 12-year-old Yana and 15-year-old ed into the cabin is estimated to also believe that this behavior is' not dangerous'. Besides, is the captain the golden eyed monkey king who can tell who is an immortal and who is a monster in front of the cockpit safety? The simplest logic is that there is no malice of subjective destruction, which does not mean there is no risk of objective indulgence. As for the basis, the rules for the operation qualification of large aircraft public air transport carriers (ccar-121-r4) issued by the civil aviation administration clearly stipulates the personnel entering the cockpit. If we have to talk about international practice, it is obviously not the same concept to visit after shutdown and mess in flight.
On the incident of wanghong entering the cabin, flight safety is indeed a controversial point. However, there is still a controversial point that may be ignored by many people: does every ordinary passenger have the same rights as the beautiful netizens concerned with the freedom to enter the cockpit at will? Obviously, it is estimated that most people may not even have a word with the captain. Then, the violation of this privilege involves not only risk considerations, but also fairness. In other words, what they show is not 'new and strange', but the prestige of breaking through the rules and laws.
The captain made the decision without authorization and let wanghong enter the cockpit. What's wrong with 'lifelong flight ban'? To be unfair, the passengers involved should also enter the flight blacklist. Because we eliminate all kinds of 'shows' on the plane from the two sources of supply and demand. At least we will have more sense of security when we fly.
