Don't fly for me, Argentina!

Two Argentinian pilots have been fired for inviting model Victoria Xipolitakis — who has posed for the Greek edition of Playboy magazine — into the cockpit, and letting her fly the plane.

Austral Líneas Aéreas, a domestic Argentinian carrier, announced in a statement about the firings that Xipolitakis would be banned from the airline for five years.

In addition to firing the pilots and banning the model, Austral announced forthcoming criminal proceedings against the three "for putting the flight’s safety at risk." There were 36 passengers on the Embraer jet.

From Austral's statement:

In relation to the events that took place during the Austral flight 2708 on Monday June 22, Aerolineas Argentinas and Austral state that the pilots Patricio Zocchi Molina and Federico Matias Soaje were removed from their activities on this day and will be dismissed as well as the rest of the staff with responsibility in this event ... the passenger will be prevented from flying for five years on Aerolineas and Austral flights by virtue of the right of admission available to the company.

Xipolitakis spent most of the flight from Buenos Aires to Rosario, Argentina, in the cockpit with pilot Zocchi and copilot Soaje. She took six videos during the flight, which have been leaked.
