The Colorado Rockies are being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration and United Airlines after video surfaced of an unauthorized person sitting in the cockpit during a recent team charter, according to Alison Sider of the Wall Street Journal.
During the Rockies' flight from Denver to Toronto on April 10, a person not part of the crew was recorded pretending to control the plane and giving a thumbs-up while sitting in the captain's chair as the plane was clearly in the air, sources told Sider. The video was posted to both social media and YouTube earlier in the week but has since been deleted.
