Does something like this really happen?

[Reyshel01]

happened*

- I've never read anything like this but maybe, once in a blue moon?

[user01]

The pictures were circulating online. Very disturbing.

Yeah, the [I]unsensored[/I] ones can be found online. Funny, this may actually work out to be positive publicity for Cathay Pacific. It wouldn't suprise me to see their bookings increase once people see the pictures - the flight attendant is pretty hot, BTW.

Yup. Here is one of them:

You seriously think this is the first time this has happened?

There was a French airline crew fired just last month for having a stewardess stripping off her top and bra and showing her cans off. One of the pilots videoed it and posted it to the internet.

Mile High Club isn't anything new...

This happens easily. It is, however, unlikely to happen in the cockpit unless it is a threesome (which also happens from time to time).

how did they get the photo?

It's widely known that there is a lot of hanky panky that goes on in the airline industry. It normally happens on the ground however on lay overs. The first cases of HIV in north america were spread via a Canadian airline steward from quebec.

According to Wiki (and other sources) the whole "patient 0" thing is incorrect,

[quote][b]HIV was introduced to North America by a Canadian flight attendant[/b]
A Canadian airline steward named Gaëtan Dugas was referred to as "Patient 0" in an early AIDS study by William Darrow of the CDC. Many people consider Dugas to be responsible for bringing HIV to North America. This is considered inaccurate, as HIV had spread long before Dugas began his career. This rumor may have started with Randy Shilts' 1987 book And the Band Played On (and the movie based on it, in which Dugas is referred to as AIDS' Patient Zero), but neither the book nor the movie state him to have been the first to bring the virus to North America. He was called "Patient Zero" because at least 40 of the 248 people known to be infected by AIDS in 1983 had had sexual intercourse with him, or with someone who had sexual intercourse with him.
However, four years after the publication of Shilts' book, Darrow repudiated his study, saying that its methods were flawed and claiming that Shilts had misrepresented its conclusions.[citation needed]
The current consensus is that HIV was introduced to North America by a Haitian immigrant who contracted it while working in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the early 1960s, or from another person who worked there during that time.[/quote]

Your statement about "hanky panky" in the airline industry is quite true though. When I worked in the industry there were a few terminations related to "inappropriate activities" between crew members on layovers.

They don't cal it the cockpit for nothing.

So is it better nowadays or worse than say 10 years ago?

[mrperfect]

I dont find anything surprising or outrageous in this. As per my understanding they were not actually flying at that time, and they were also a couple? How is this different than any other workfields where people get together and get down to it?
My only regret was that he didnt finish what he started.. he shouldnt have given it if he couldnt give it all. :D

I know, where I worked (this was about 5 years ago), there were conscious efforts being made to cut down on layover relations and other such things. Having said that, it was, and still is, going on. It wasn't just isolated to people in inflight operations though, relationships between people who worked on the ground (Customer Service, Baggage, etc) was pretty common too. There were quite a few times I heard about people having sex in airline vehicles, or places behind the scenes at the airport. Of course a lot of people met their current wives/husbands there too.....

Link, kindly.

Cathay Pacific played this out really badly, they could've spun it to their advantage. They are getting a huge publicity boost.
