Pilot sacked over Boeing 777-300ER fly - Cathay Pacific

After taking delivery of the new jet, the Cathay Pacific pilot made a low-level pass, with wheels up, just above the Paine Field runway before the big jet headed off to Hong Kong - with Cathay Pacific Chairman Chris Pratt and other VIPs among the more than 60 people on board.
The 777-300ER is 242 feet long, weighs about 350 tons and is listed at $264 million

he was beyond gear extension speed... notice he didnt have flaps configured for landing either, flybys are suppose to be fast, thats why they are called fly bys and not flylandings. dumbass

Doing a low fly-by at the Boeing plant is nothing new. Crews from different airlines do it when they test thier new aircraft right before delivery. In this case, althought the CEO was on board & I believe he approved of the action, it was the HongKong (CHINA) authorities thier FAA equivalent that put pressure on TYLER to fire the pilot because it was never asked nor has given Cathay permission to do such thing. It all boils down to the Chinese govt. letting everbody who runs the show.

@bammb00 Close - it was Pratt who lost it. And Hong Kong has their own Civil Aviation Department which is separate to Chinas and hires mostly expats (though about to be localised).
