No messing about by the authorities though I think the fine should have been higher.

The aviation watchdog also fined Air China 50,000 yuan ($7,500).
That will show them.

"Smoking is not allowed aboard Chinese commercial passenger flights."
The guy wasn't smoking, he was vaping, lol

And where was the pilot when this happened?

No wonder these flights are so cheap.

How can a co-pilot vape smoke on the cockpit? Is that allowed on planes of another airlines?
Serrano
The co-pilot has a serious tobacco addiction, he's gotta have that wadded roll in his mouth, lit, and breathe in something besides air.

Only 7500 bucks? The 10% flight cuts would probably cost them a lot though, but still.
I also read that the co-pilot was fired from the company. I wonder if criminal charges should be pressed in cases like these.

Another example of how smokers are so addicted they will do the most stupid things to get their fix. Never hire smokers is the solution.
