A Pilot that refuses to follow the safety instructions by the crew and endangers other passenger doesn't make anyone feel comfortable about the safety culture of an airline! How would you react in this scenario? Does he have the same attitude when operating the plane? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Thanks!

Sorry Sir, you may have been unlucky with your flight. I myself have traveled more than twenty times on Ethiopian Airlines and I have always felt safe on board. Having traveled on many large and small airlines. And I must admit that it is on Ethiopian Airlines that I feel most comfortable. Do not remain on a misunderstanding. take another flight, I am sure that you will change your mind. cordially

As a former pilot I was always conscious when positioning as a passenger, in uniform, of the need to create a good impression for the airline. There's no excuse for that guy's behaviour.

Ethiopian Airlines is one of the best airline in the world.

I flew out of Kilimanjaro on 777 Ethiopian in 2007. Many of us on the plane had climbed Mount Kili the days before..the Captaint contacted air traffic control, and we were allowed to circle the mountain, barely skimming the summit...What a view, what an experience !!

Josh, thank you for the feed back on the pilot, as an Ethiopian airlines staff, I am very sure that Ethiopian airlines will take the necessary corrective action.Ethiopian airlines has zero tolerance for safety issue.

I'm using Ethiopian frequently from Scandinavia to southern Africa, i feel safe on Board and the food is even in Economy Class very good. I like this Airline 👍🙂

i am the fleet manager for the 737 at the airline. i can confirm that this pilot has been disciplined. he will be on unpaid leave due to this. this incident was a complete violation of the employee travelling on standby/traveling due to work purposes policy.

[longdonglarry]

if that pilot behaves like that in the cabin I don't wanna know what safety rules he's violating when flying. Scary.

[sltnaliyi]

As you mentioned Ethiopian Airlines is one of the world Airlines industry leaders
Any way your Title is Mismatched with video’s content

You can literally see how his seat is still reclined and all his stuff is still laying around when you disembark...what a safety hazard this guy is. This pilot should be grounded as it reflects really poorly on the airline. I wonder what checklists he skips when at the flight deck. Thanks for calling this out. If I would act like this on a flight and refuse to obey the safety orders given by the crew this would cause a big issue and police would meet me at the gate!

I've worked with Ethiopian Airlines. They will shortly be recruiting a replacement for your cabin companion, I'm sure of it.

39 years in the airlines. Have never landed when the cabin is not secure. The head flight attendant/purser, should have advised the cockpit crew that the cabin is NOT secure, because of the A..hole seated in 1A. If that involved a go-around, so be it. That would solve things very quickly, and am pretty sure would not be repeated by any deadhead crew again.

[lazyfrogonalog]

Such a shame to have a great cabin crew let down by one foolish, arrogant and undisciplined pilot.

[JohnHutchinson-blnj]

Absolutely correct-that off duty Pilot should be sanctioned for his behavior.He needs to be checked out and made to understand his responsibilities.Frankly if i owned the Airline he would be dismissed.

[michaelafalck]

As a former Purser I would have informed the deadheading CPT about what consequences he’d face by not complying the safety rules. I would have told him that I’m going to speak with the on duty CPT and that we‘ll probably report this incident. When you’re a crewmember you have to be a rolemodel for other passengers by living the safety standards.

[Daledugahole]

Very ok with “make your own coffee” when you get to my age, you like things a certain way and the best way to do that is to do it yourself.

[UnusSedLeo-wl]

Apart from that pilot, Ethipian Airlines clearly offers very good quality and service!

[MrPlanes]

Good to know you were in Kano but just to let you know, there are several posh hotels in Kano that are way better than the one you were in. I’ve flown Ethiopian Airlines a couple of times, fantastic FA always. 👍

[silentman-zegu]

That pilot could very well end up on an episode of Mentour Pilot one day
