Captain Amir Akhtar Hashmi, a
senior pilot with Dreamliner Pakistan International Airlines has been
suspended after photos of him sleeping on board a plane emerged on social media.
According
to Mirror, Hashmi allegedly slept for two-and-a-half-hours in a
business class seat on board the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA)
flight from Islamabad to London on April 26.
A passenger on flight PK-785 filed a complaint with the airline along with the snap of the dozing captain.
Hashmi
should have been in control of the 305-seater Boeing 777 plane during
the eight-hour flight to Heathrow but he was reported to have placed a
pilot trainee in charge of the jet.
However, an investigation has been launched into the incident following the complaints to Pakistan International Airlines.
