Two Pilots Suspended For Letting A 10-Year-Old Fly A Plane

Two pilots working for Algeria's national
airline have been suspended because they
allowed a 10-year-old orphan to fly a
domestic passenger aircraft.



The report says the boy's adventure was
funded by a charity and filmed by El Bilad
TV, who show him dressed for the
occasion in a pilot's uniform and pushing
buttons in the cockpit under supervision.



It's however not clear how many
passengers were on board the Air Algerie
flight from the capital Algiers to the easter
city of Setif but Algerian media outlets
confirms that the pilots were suspended
on July 29, 201 pending further
investigation "because the act was a
breach of civil aviation regulations".
