Scandal in First Class: couple goes wild and video ends up on the web

This is not the first time we have talked about the Mile High Club, this is also not the first time that videos of these activities have ended up on the web. Let's say there are different categories of members of this fraternity: there are the exhibitionist couples (who then upload the video to the Web), there are those who do it in the bathroom (or shower), and then there are those who do it in the wrong place.

However, what has become public knowledge in the last few hours is really peculiar for several aspects starting with the fact that the red-light encounter was recorded (complete with audio) from inside the cockpit, and because the two protagonists were two First Class passengers.

The facts

In late November, a couple aboard a 777/300 from Swiss. was filmed performing oral sex right in front of the cockpit door. Exactly under the camera that for safety reasons frames the area in front of the door used by pilots to check that it is safe to exit.

I recently flew in first with Swiss and I'm 100% sure that it can only be two passengers flying first class, too bold to think that the couple from the business class cabin, or even worse from economy crossed the plane entering the more "private" section to set fire to the powders.

What I find really strange, reading the articles in Swiss newspapers, is that it was not a classic "quickie," but that the film is very long. Okay it's possible that the cabin crew is busy, but that's where the First Class attendants are positioned, and there's always one ready to step in.

Swiss condemns Crew's actions

In a note, the airline stresses that it is taking the incident very seriously and is investigating the exact circumstances with the utmost care. "Filming people without their clear consent and transmitting these recordings contradicts our guidelines and values and violates applicable data protection regulations," it explains. "This also applies on board."

Qualquadra not what

It seems impossible to me to think that a couple (without the silence/assent of the crew) could combine such a thing during a flight. There, there are the two first-class passenger toilets, which are at most 8, as well as the kitchen. It is a seaport, a constant coming and going.

Given the presence of a door, also quite high, the couple could have also made themselves comfortable and sheltered in the suite, since there is really so much space and take fewer risks.

The only other explanation I can think of is that it was a flight "without" passengers from First, then the absence of the crew at that point would perhaps be plausible, difficult but not impossible. In that case then the fuit could have started from the rear and ended at that precise point. Things that happen, much more often than you think, only this time there escaped the video filmed from the cockpit and therefore not really from a sleepless passenger.
