An Onur Air pilot said something you, as a passenger, never want to hear while sitting on a plane waiting to take off: “I’m resigning. This plane is not safe!”
Ding! I don’t know about you, but that’s sign enough for me to say, ‘the hell with this, I’d rather walk.’
After making the comment over the PA to all passenger, the pilot proceeded to walk off the plane and leave all 180 passengers sitting in their seats, no doubt freaking out.
The pilot apparently heard a strange noise coming from the engine of the aircraft and evidently didn’t trust the plane enought to fly it, saying “I am resigning from my job. Do not fly with this plane. It is not safe. Do not fly with Onur Air.â€
It sounds to me like he heard the noise, was worried for the safety of his passengers and refused to take off and I’m guessing the folks behind Onur Air were pressuring him to take off anyways, why else would he resign right on the spot?
All of the passengers were forced to stay on the plane in 100F heat for a while before the company finally decided to pull everyone off the flight. Some had to wait an additional 2 hours before being able to get anyother flight, where as 20 flat out refused to fly. I have to admit, I’d probably be in the same boat as them in this case.
