The pilot, who has not been named, allowed Mexican actress / model / singer / who cares Esmerelda Ugalde and her friend, fellow multi-hyphenated person Samahadi Zendejas into the control seat of the plane.

Esmerelda initially said that the plane was on the ground when the pictures were taken, however the pilot that the plane was MID-AIR. AS IN ACTUALLY FLYING.

It's not yet known if he'll lose his licence.
A statement from the airline said that they "cannot allow a pilot to make this kind of mistake, it is just not allowed. We cannot allow people to enter the cabin even if they are actors or actresses."
"We are a serious company and we are deeply saddened about the fact that one of our staff behaved in this way. Flight law dictates visitors are not allowed to enter the cabin during the flight."
