Bahamasair has fired an experienced captain who had been at the airline for 12 years, following a series of incidents in recent weeks. What a mess…
This same pilot was the captain of an August 31 Bahamasair flight from Nassau (NAS) to Marsh Harbour (MHH). Specifically, the flight was operated by an ATR 72-600 with the registration code C6-BFR.
Following the short 30-minute flight, the first officer reportedly refused to continue flying with the captain, after he was reported to have been vaping in the flight deck. She alerted the company’s operations control center, citing flight deck dynamics and safety concerns. The airline immediately pulled both pilots from duty, and dispatched a replacement crew.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
