Sitting on the tarmac in Antalya, Turkey, a group of British tourists was treated to the following announcement by their Onur Air pilot:
“I am resigning from my job. Do not fly with this plane. It is not safe. Do not fly with Onur Air.”
Then, after freaking out the entire passenger cabin, he got up, left the cockpit, and got off the plane.
Now THAT’s an exit.
The passengers were left sitting on the plane in sweltering heat, chuckling uncomfortably as their stiff upper lips began to sag.
Onur Air has had its share of security concerns. The airline was previously banned from France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland under accusations of security violations, which the airline categorically denied.
At least he made the announcement before takeoff. Which raises the question: Do pilots have a parachute in the cockpit?…
