British Airways Pilot Suspended After Allegedly Pleasuring Himself While Flying

A British Airways pilot has been suspended after allegedly pleasuring himself in a cockpit of a plane at 38,000 feet.

BA Captain Colin Glover, 51 years old got suspended after a series of explicit images emerged of a man performing sexual acts while wearing black woman’s stockings. A pornographic magazine on top of the plane’s controls could also be seen in a picture.

The pictures are believed to have been taken on two separate long-haul flights and must have been taken at night.

Twice married Captain Glover, father of one, and lives in Dublin, denies he was the same man in the lewd photos.

He graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering from Edinburgh’s Heriot-Watt University in 1987 and employed with British Airways since 1990. He would face a permanent ban from flying any aircraft if found guilty performing sexual acts while flying.

In Captain Glover’s LinkedIn account shows he has flown B737s, B747s, B757s, B767s, and B777 aircraft.

British Airline spokesperson told MailOnline, “We are taking this matter very seriously and are investigating.”

Airline expert Chris Yates told The Sun on Sunday, “This is very dangerous if the plane is in mid-flight,” he added, “If you are flying, you can fly into serious turbulence.”

He said the pictures were likely taken in a simulator because of the plane’s lighting.

Cockpit simulators do not have any toilets. However, one picture shows a man naked in a plane lavatory.

BA officials confirmed that they are conducting an investigation and to identify whether the photos were taken during mid-flight.

Scandal-prone airline

The lewd photos are the latest serious scandals involving British Airline employees in recent years.

Pilots Sean Murphy and Paul Lytollis were recently placed under investigation after getting into a fight in Houston, Texas.

Last year, BA Special Services agent Matthew Underwood got suspended due to allegations of taking backhanders from celebrities and businessmen.

And in 2013, off-duty BA cabin crews were seen drinking bottles of champagne and red wine in front of First and Club Premium cabin passengers.

Passengers said the stewards and stewardesses started screaming and shouting like “spoiled brats”. Moreover, some were even kissing and petting each other.

Attorney General: No Ongoing Investigation On Singer Timberlake For Ballot Selfie

A local district attorney said on Tuesday that there is no ongoing investigation on pop star Justin Timberlake for posting a selfie in a polling station on social media. This after Tennessee officials said hours earlier that a probe was under way.

Shelby County District Attorney General Amy Weirich said she is out of town at a conference. No one in her office is presently looking into the matter nor will be using their limited means to do so, she added.

A representative for Timberlake did not respond to requests for comment.

With the latest hullabaloo over so-called ballot selfies, the actor and singer seemed to have violated Tennessee election law when he posted the photo.

Timberlake posted the photo on Monday with a caption saying that he had traveled to his hometown of Memphis from Los Angeles to participate in early voting ahead of the November 8 election.

Part of the caption on the photo says, “Get out and VOTE! #exerciseyourrighttovote.” It was posted on Instagram, where he has more than 37 million followers.

Tennessee law forbids voters from recording or taking videos or photographs inside a polling station.

The propagation of social media and cellphone cameras has created disagreements in states that have laws against taking photos within polling booths and sharing photos of marked ballots.

The laws aim to put off voter intimidation and any slow down of the voting process. However, in some cases, the laws predate the social media age.

The Law is unconstitutional

In Michigan, a federal court on Monday sided with a man who said that the law there prohibiting voters from taking photos of their marked ballots infringed on his constitutional right to free speech. The court stopped implementation of the law.

Meanwhile, two voters in Colorado filed a complaint on Monday looking to reverse a law there that outlawed the showing of an accomplished ballot to others. They argued that the sanction was unconstitutional.
