FAA investigating reports of ‘unauthorized person in the flight deck’ on Rockies flight
9news reports that a video posted to social media appears to show a member of the Colorado Rockies coaching staff sitting in one of the two pilot’s seats of a United airline flight.
9NEWS aviation expert Greg Feith said the responsibility lies with the airline and the pilots.
“The regulations are very clear, especially after 9/11 that no unauthorized persons are allowed in that cockpit and they are definitely not allowed to occupy a pilot position,” he said. “This is on the airline and the two pilots.”
