   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.
