China Airlines pilot punished for sleeping in cockpit
China Airlines says it has punished a pilot after a video of him taking a nap in the cockpit mid-flight was posted online. His co-pilot, who filmed the incident, has also been reprimanded. The footage drew attention after it was shown in a report on a Taiwanese TV network Wednesday. The man was identified as Weng Jiaqi, a senior pilot with almost 20 years of experience who was promoted to chief pilot last year. The incident comes after the airline last week reached a deal with the pilots’ union to end a 7-day strike over working conditions and benefits that forced the cancellation of more than 200 flights. But China Airlines said that the video was filmed before the pilots walked off the job. <br/>
