Pilot jumps out of window

While this elderly lady was surprised at the sight of a female pilot, another pilot recently stunned everybody by jumping out of the window due to fear of COVID-19. A recent viral video showed an Air Asia Pilot leaping straight out of the cockpit after he allegedly heard a passenger sneeze. As there were suspected coronavirus-infected passengers aboard AirAsia India's Pune-Delhi flight, the pilot-in-command after landing chose to come out of the plane through cockpit's secondary exit, which is a sliding window.

An AirAsia India spokesperson said, "There was a case reported of suspected Covid-19 passengers aboard I5-732, Pune to New Delhi on 20th March 2020, seated in Row 1. The passengers were subsequently screened and tested negative." The spokesperson mentioned that aircraft was fumigated and a thorough disinfection and deep cleaning was carried out.
