United Airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are investigating an incident involving a Colorado Rockies hitting coach who appeared in a video seated in the cockpit during a chartered flight on April 10, ESPN reported.
United and the FAA have initiated investigations after a video surfaced on social media showing Rockies hitting coach Hensley Meulens in the pilot’s seat of a chartered flight while airborne from Denver to Toronto, according to ESPN.
“Had some fun in the cockpit on our flight from Denver to Toronto. Thanks to the captain and the first officer of our United charter that allowed me this great experience,” Meulens wrote in a caption for the social media post, ESPN stated. The video, which has since been removed, captured Meulens in the pilot’s chair during the flight.
