The pilot and flight attendant have been suspended by China’s Donghai Airlines for their role in a recent bathroom brawl.
After the pilot exited the cockpit to use South Africa’s first-class bathroom, the two pilots exited the cockpit to use the plane’s first-class bathroom, during a flight from Nantang, Jiangsu Province, Shahanshi Province, on February 20. Witnesses say the pilot saw a passenger entering the same entrance, but the pilot gave the passenger the formula to sit in his place outside the door until it was the passenger’s turn.
