    Cathay fly-by....more to it than meets the eye?

    Interesting development on the recent sacking of a Cathay pilot who performed a bold fly-by maneuver soon after taking the delivery of the aircraft.....

    Aero-News Network: The Aviation and Aerospace World's Daily/Real-Time News and Information Service

    turns out the chairman was actually in the cockpit...

    the plot thickens....

    >> That video is rumored to have been purchased by the airline
    >> from its owner, resulting in its prompt removal from the web.

    Ah .. the joys of Youtube. They may have bought and removed the video, but looks like someone has stitched together a video using photos.

    So, add "do not perform flybys when the boss is behind you", right under "do not throw peanuts at the boss" in the CX training manual.
