 Aviation HQ to All 
 Do not walk on the wing of a SWISS 777

Some SWISS employees have drawn the wrath of their employers. A video shows
the trio posing on the wing of a Boeing 777-300ER for some photos.
 
The video - which has surfaced on social media - shows three employees opening
an emergency door above the wing. Some poses are made and the employees walk
back and forth on the wing. The video was shot in Buenos Aires shortly before
the plane was due to start its return flight to Zurich.
 
All this to the great dissatisfaction of SWISS. "What seems fun in a video is
dangerous," a spokesperson for the company told news site 20 minutes. "The
wings of the Boeing 777 are about five meters high. A fall from that height
onto a hard surface can have disastrous consequences. This behavior will not
be tolerated," said Michael Pelzer. Contact has been made with the relevant
crew members.
 
There would have been no passengers in the aircraft at the time of the photo
session.
