9. A Pilot Lets A Celebrity Fly The Plane
In December, a pilot in Mexico was jettisoned after letting a famous singer wear his hat. And also sit in his seat and control his passenger aircraft. Esmeralda Ugalde and her friend Samadhi Zendejas were granted special access to the cockpit of a Boeing jet on a flight to Cancun - they showed their gratitude to the pilot by posting pictures on Twitter to highlight what a reckless idiot he is. A spokesman for the airline, Magnicharters, said, "We cannot allow people to enter the cabin even if they are actors or actresses", which was apparently news to the now ex-pilot. Exactly why he decided to let two young, beautiful women bend the rules is a mystery, but the law is there for a reason. If anything had gone wrong, Ugalde would have had to do some pretty serious method acting to save everyone on board.
