Pilot tells passengers not to fly!

Plane grounded after pilot tells passengers ‘its not safe’

A plane carrying 180 British tourists was grounded when its pilot announced: ‘Do not fly with this plane, it is not safe.’

The holidaymakers were about to take off to return to Bristol airport from Dalaman in Turkey when they heard a strange sound from the aircraft’s engines. It was followed by an announcement on the Airbus A 321’s intercom: ‘This is your captain speaking. I am resigning. Do not fly with this plane. It is not safe. Do not fly with Onur Air.’

The unnamed pilot then walked off the aircraft, leaving the passengers stranded in 100-degree heat without any air conditioning. They were eventually told to return to the terminal, where they waited for around two hours before an alternative flight was arranged.

A spokesman for Goldtrail, which chartered last week’s flight said in a statement: ‘The [pilot] was serving his notice. There was a problem between him and the airline and he turned it into a bigger problem. We have not been told what the fault was.’
