Pilots Punished With Porter Work for Violations Spark Debate
Zhejiang Loong Airlines reported that two pilots violated rules and that punishments included transfer to ground jobs such as porters; the disciplinary notice circulated online and sparked discussion. Previously, in a 2017 lightning strike damage incident, the company punished the crew, and the crew applied for a hearing. In 2025, its maintenance subsidiary was fined 20,000 yuan by the CAAC East China Regional Administration. The case triggered discussion of airlines' internal disciplinary methods.
