Unclothed and intoxicated in a hotel lounge?
In an unexpected turn of events, budget airline EasyJet has suspended one of its pilots following an incident at a luxury hotel bar in Cape Verde.
The incident, reported by British tabloid "The Sun", allegedly occurred last week. The pilot, who was supposed to fly passengers back to London, was found naked and drunk in the hotel's reception, gym, and spa area early in the morning after a drinking session.
The location of the incident was the beautiful archipelago of Cape Verde, an island chain in the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of Africa. The flight that the pilot was scheduled for never took off due to the incident.
EasyJet immediately stood the pilot down from duty and assigned a replacement for the return flight from London to the Cape Verde islands. The airline confirmed the incident to dpa and emphasised that passenger and crew safety is their highest priority.
The specific details of the investigation are not provided in the article. However, it is known that EasyJet's process for handling such incidents is to ground the employee pending the outcome of the investigation.
Passengers on the flight were reportedly aware of the pilot's identity, adding an unexpected twist to their holiday journey. EasyJet has not yet released a statement regarding the ongoing investigation or the identity of the pilot involved.
The flight from London to the Cape Verde islands takes approximately six hours. Despite this setback, EasyJet assures its customers that it remains committed to providing safe and reliable travel services.
The incident at the luxury hotel in Cape Verde, involving a drunk and naked EasyJet pilot, has shed light on the pilot's lifestyle, as reported by The Sun. This unforeseen event, which occurred during a travel journey, has also generated general-news headlines and sparked discussions on crime-and-justice, as the pilot's behavior disrupted the airline's schedule and potentially endangered passengers' safety.
