easyJet pilots suspended over Snapchat video
Two easyJet pilots have been suspended after footage emerged of them playing a Snapchat game in a cockpit.
The Luton-based carrier said the pair have been stopped from flying "pending a disciplinary investigation".
In a video published by The Sun, the co-pilot can be seen completing paperwork with a virtual owl dancing on the screen beside him.
Later, he dances next to an animated character with the aircraft said to flying be at 30,000ft during a trip from Paris to Madrid.
An easyJet spokesman said the video was taken when the aircraft was in cruise control and the flight operated safely.
He added: "Whilst at no point was the safety of the passengers compromised, this falls short of the high standards easyJet expect of its pilots. We will speak to the pilots involved."
The footage was posted on the captain's social media accounts, according to The Sun, which said passengers branded the actions "irresponsible".
