An airplane pilot was caught sleeping in a plane to London, which he had to pilot.
A worried passenger took the picture above, showing Captain Amir Akhtar Hashmi, who appeared to be sleeping.
The image shows him sitting on a business class seat, sleeping shortly after the plane took off from Pakistan.
A Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) Boeing 777 aircraft takes off from Karachi airport on November 11, 2010. Ailing state carrier Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) is asking the government, saddled with its own mounting debt, to write off losses of 1.7 billion dollars to save it from looming bankruptcy.
The passenger who took the picture complained that while the pilot was sleeping in business class, he did not feel safe at all knowing that he was not on duty.
The captain was in charge of 300 passengers and had allowed his non-commissioned officer to fly. Mr. Hashmi, who is the former president of the Pakistan Airline Pilots Association, was suspended after the image appeared on the Internet.
