Two SpiceJet Pilots Suspended Over Photo Of Uncovered Cup Of Tea On Throttle Quadrant

Trying to emulate ‘Fate Is The Hunter’ (1964) all over again

Wow just how stupid could some pilots be

I wouldn't do this even in my own car parked anywhere with the parking brake on. Or worse on my wife's new furniture!

D'oh.

Stupid should hurt. At least a bit.

First thing I thought of when I saw that headline- just couldn't remember the name of the Glenn Ford movie.

Fate is the hunter!

If any of you remember the SNL skit "The Pepsi Syndrome" where someone spills a Coke to Go on a nuclear power plant's control panel and starts an emergency. Same energy here.

On top of the fuel cutoff switches.

At NWA we had a written and often emphasized rule that drinks must be handed forward around the pilot’s outside shoulder. Not allowed anywhere the center console. But then I retired in 2001. Things have changed, not just in aviation, but culturally.

It's been a problem with the A350

Once again, life imitates art.

A picture says a 1000 words.

great flick

They got off Lightly... they should have been Fired!

It's the same as computer tech support basics: I train clients to have no fluids near keyboards.

Kind of silly...

Boeings need cupholders like Scarebus has.. :)

Wow how stupid since the controls mounted in that quadrant contain electronics which could be damaged by liquids. Well trained not caring not need to be retrained and then not paired again.
