Cathay Pacific Cancels Ad Campaign After Cockpit Cockup

This one gets a big laugh. Cathay Pacific has postponed the launch of a campaign with the tagline “Meet the team who go the extra mile to make you feel special” because photographs surfaced of crew members having sex in the cockpit…which when you think about it, brings a whole new level of meaning to the word “cockpit.” Reportedly, the photographs were published in Chinese newspapers.

Of the Cathay Pacific employees caught in the act, Cathay Pacific CEO John Slosar said, “I can confirm that two members of our crew shown in compromising situations in photographs published recently in Chinese-language daily newspapers are no longer employees of the company.”

Apparently, oral sex was involved between a flight attendant and a pilot. Attempting to downplay safety concerns, Cathay Pacific has said there was no indication the sex act was performed while in flight.

The NSFW photos can be viewed here.
