Their license should be revoked and they should slap them with criminal charges.

They are lucky I wasn't on that flight. I would sued them for attempted murder after seeing this news. Nonsense.


That's one thing I'm scared of in planes.....you don't know who the pilot is. They need to start allowing passengers choose who to fly them from a set of pilots

They are trained pilots! ... It is obvious by the look on the boy's face that he is taking instructions from the pilot!

Nd no pilot would gv full control of the plane to a kid! ...its either he is pressing buttons controlling the ACs or the planes WiFi buttons tongue

Nd to dat n!gga dat said ....95% of plane crash are caused by pilot's error! ...ar yu kidding me? ... Engine failure n birds are major causes for plane accidents! ...yes! ...birds yu might b surprised! ...it is not like car driving! ..imagine when yuar driving yu see a cow or a goat ...yu swerve!

But imagine a plane swerving because of a Bird ...will they even see the bird! ..most of these birds get caught up in the engine blades n create problem.

Am sure n!ggas are going to quote like a Bible verse now! ...since a lot of dem are against the pilot! ..I just believe the pilot is reasonable enough not to gv the young aspiring pilot full control of the Airbus!

_n meanwhile while quoting me call me fool,idiot or anytin abusive like dat! ...yu might get my attention faster! Who knows! kiss

Yes! I'm actually quoting you cos I kinda reason with you. You the only one seeing it from a different angle. Which I find interesting.

Exactly what I thought. Like you said, I'm quite sure the boy wasnt in control of flying the plane.
The only reason this became a problem was probably cos of the breach in policy vs the cameras. Which could be a big problem for the Air brand. Hence, the "Suspension" to fulfil all righteousness.
But you know the Media na. They'd use the phrase "10 year old fly a plane" just to sell. grin

And yea, Birds leading to Engine failures most of the time, are one of the major causes of Air disaster.
Reminds me of "Miracle on the Hudson"

Two pilots of Air Algerie have been
suspended for allowing a 10-year-old
orphaned boy to control a domestic
passenger flight in fulfilment of his dreams. shocked





According to local media, the pilots were
suspended because the act was a breach of civil
aviation regulations.
The boy’s adventure was filmed by a TV crew as
part of a charity initiative and aired on local
television station El Bilad on July 26, reports
say.



The pilots were suspended on July 29 for
investigation into the incident, it added.
The number of passengers in the flight is
unknown.



The boy, dressed like a pilot, was filmed seated
in the cockpit and pushing buttons under the
supervision of the two pilots during a flight
from the capital Algiers to Setif in the east.



The video showed the boy being taken around
the plane before take off.

The next time you go into surgery, the doctor should bring an 8 year old in to fiddle with your insides while the "professional"surgeon gives instructions and supervises.

That's the major reasons the planes are still not fully operated by bots! ...I said fully meaning the plane can still drive around itself without the help of the pilot! ...wait ar yu telling me pilots don't sleep on flight!

They sleep! ... The aviation industry has moved beyond auto flight! ... to auto land! ...so gentleman! ...the pilots are there just to make you think yuar safely driven by dem!

Same tin applies to the surgical world ...a bot would successfully carry out an operation! ...faster n efficient! ..but the human mind is the only thing pulling us back!

So try to understand the fact that the plane cannot be fully operated by one pilot n obviously can't be fully controlled by a small boy!

God bless you! ...I was about to say that! ...it is the camera thingy! ...there are policies against it! ..lots of things happen in the cockpit like sleeping n sort of things that could distract the pilot!

But people don't know! ...that's why they are against the use of cameras in the cockpit ..it could make people feel unsafe in the Airbus! ...it is not like the Airbus can't control itself ... They looking at the caption of fear the picture tries to paint in the mind of their passenger!

Do you know why this is against policy?

You have a 10 year old pushing electronic buttons in a pressuried container moving at more thab 900km/hr and flying at tens of thousands feet above sea level and you are talking about not having total controls.

I'm surprised. Aren't you one of the over-called MODs, just after lalasticala? I thought u'd reason better. The plane is not ur car that needs hands on the steering through the flight duration. Courses are set and engines are monitored. Besides that, it was MONITORED. I'm sure I don't need to tell u what monitored means. If they didn't think he could it, no pilot would even sit him in the cockpit.

P.S: It was under their instructions and supervision.

I strongly think they made a good decision.

God bless them.
I once watched a documentary on a plane crash. A pilot allowed his 2 children "pilot" the aircraft in turn while he and 3 other pilots watched/supervised. Something went wrong and the plane crashed.
The good father killed not just his children but other 159 passengers on board.

To think that the pilots allowed that part to be filmed.

Why on earth didn't they cut out that part while editing? Besides a plane is safest when it is cruising. And i am sure that was when they let him touch a few buttons.


Our dads have at one point allowed us steer the car as kids. It's a risk i know...but feels good regardless!
Re: Video: 2 Algerian Pilots Have Been Suspended For Letting A 10-yr-old Fly A Plane by anneboleyn(f): 2:49pm On Aug 03, 2017
They should have switched the control of the plane from manual to autopilot, and allow the young lad to pretend that he was flying the plane manually...though this too could backfire if care is not taken

You're right bro.

However, there's always a room or probability of things to go wrong even in an assumed circumstance such as having two extremely experienced professionals.

It is just to suspend them, but I think they made a choice after thoughtfully weighing on the outcomes based probably on their knowledge, experience & a little emotion.

Exactly bro.

Just that experience ( we may term 'small' or 'too risky') is enough to inspire greater positive things from that 10 year old.

Planes and professional pilots fly everyday, but how many times have a 10yr old even flown a plane. Rare.

He had the dream, the pilots helped him actualized it faster than he had thought. If nothing else, it proves dreams come true as long as we keep believing and working towards them.

The guy may grow up even becoming a better man, inspiring and impacting positively on the society at large.

I go fear oo my brother. But trust me if I'm to vote after a successful landing, I'll vote that the pilots be retained. That's my perspective.

Though I'm not saying that people should start going into the cockpit to fulfil a dream of wanting to fly a plane sha, but you'd agree with me this boy's case is rare, passionate & destined to happen.
