Victoria Xipolitakis flies plane; pilots fired after footage posted online

A pair of Argentinian pilots are now without jobs after inviting a Playboy playmate ‘Victoria Xipolitakis’ into the cockpit to fly their plane..

Victoria Xipolitakis, who has posed for the Greek edition of Playboy magazine, recorded six videos of herself and the pilots in the cockpit, according to Mashable.

In one of the videos, one of the pilots tells Xipolitakis she will control the plane for part of the takeoff.

“You sure?” she asks. “Nothing could happen?”

There were reportedly 36 passengers on the flight when the model took over.

Not only were the pilots fired, but Xipolitakis has been banned from the Austral Líneas Aéreas airline for five years.

“The company confirms its continuing commitment to safety and the respect for operational and safety policies and protocols,” the airline said. “The behavior of the pilots, also rejected by their professional association, is totally opposed to the operational safety culture of Austral Líneas Aéreas.”

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.”

Xipolitakis apologized, via a tweet in Spanish, for the pain she had caused, and said that it was not an example of her character.

Some passengers on the plane may also take legal action, according to Fox News Latino.
