Mile High Club Involving Air Canada Pilots...
A commercial airline pilot who wants Canadians to know the truth about pornography found in Air Canada flight decks says she’s speaking out to defend another pilot whose complaints were reported in a previous CBC News story, saying she has seen images that included "genitals and full nudity."
The pilot said she is challenging claims the airline made in a previous CBC News story that the images were mostly "inappropriate business cards" fromLAS :ofound with limited frequency mainly on one aircraft type, the Embraer E-90.
"You could encounter it once or twice every month," said the pilot, whose identity CBC News is not revealing, given her concerns about reprisals from colleagues and Air Canada.
Describing some of what she's found as "definitely pornographic" she said it could range from suggestive pin-ups to, "clearly explicit images."
"I have flown several different aircraft types at Air Canada and this kind of material would be found on all aircraft types," she said in an interview with CBC’s senior investigative correspondent, Diana Swain.
The pilot said she felt compelled to come forward after reading angry online backlash against the female pilot mentioned in CBC’s previous story. That pilot had complained to Air Canada and Transport Canada about finding increasingly hostile pornography in the flight deck, formerly known as the cockpit.
"Seems to me the pilot to fire is her if she needed stress leave from a pic. I do not want to put my life in the hands of someone so emotionally/mentally unstable,"wrote one person anonymously in response to the CBC story.
