The Boeing 777-300 suddenly dropped from 34,000 feet to 29,000 feet during a flight from Mumbai to Brussels. The commander claims he was taking a ‘controlled rest,’ while the co-pilot says she was checking flight information on an iPad.

The pilots didn’t file a flight safety report and continued to fly until they were suspended earlier this week, after regulators received an anonymous message.


thank you to the anonymous person who ratted them out or we wouldn't even know about this.......scary to think about...amazing there aren't more plane crashes after hearing about this

You pay all that money, put up with all the lines and all the cramped spaces and then this happens...

Are we under the same flight safety rules internationally?
