World / Captain misbehaves, punished in front of female pilot in flying flight

The court has sentenced the accused Captain, who did a dirty act in front of a female pilot in a flying flight in the US. According to the website dailymail, he has to pay the price of this action after leaving his job. The court has imposed one year of probation and a fine of 5 thousand dollars on the accused captain.

Actually, this is the case on August 10, 2020, when a Southwest Airlines flight from Philadelphia to Orlando took a flight. The flight's captain, 60-year-old Michael Haque, did a dirty act in front of a female pilot. It is alleged that the captain watched the pornographic film on the laptop kept in the cockpit of the aircraft.

During the hearing of this case in the court, Captain Mai Kal Hawk apologized for his actions and expressed regret. However, US Magistrate J. Mark Coulson sentenced him to one year of probation and a $ 5,000 fine.

During this hearing he said that 'it started as an agreement between me and the other pilot. However, the prosecution's lawyer said the Hawks had never met a female pilot on August 10, 2020, before that flight bound for Orlando. Hak got down from the pilot's seat and took off his clothes, after which he started watching pornographic material on the laptop.

It is said that the female pilots continued flying while performing their duties. At the same time, the judge told Hak that his actions had a painful effect on the co-pilot. This could have affected the safety of passengers and other co-workers.

On the other hand, defense lawyer Michael Salnick said Hawke had a brilliant career as a commercial pilot. He received numerous accolades and supportive letters from travelers and associates, including Southwest President and CEO Gary Kelly on the day of Hak's retirement.

Hawke's counsel said that when the accused admitted their mistake, no excuse or falsehood was offered by them, the Hawks were entitled to a lenient punishment in view of all this. The judge gave his verdict after hearing the arguments of the defense counsel.

Southwest Airlines spokesman Chris Mainz said Hawke, a resident of Longwood, Florida, served Southwest Airlines for 27 years. At the same time, he took the last flight on 31 August 2020, three weeks after being accused in this case. He said that the airline does not tolerate such behavior and will take immediate action if such conduct is confirmed.

Chris Mainz said that he learned of the incident when the Hawks had voluntarily left the airline. Nevertheless Southwest investigated the case and the Hawks were stopped paying the benefits they received after separating from the airline.
