A passenger aboard a recent Jet2 flight from Spain to England saw something no traveler ever wants to see on a plane: a beer in the cockpit.
Steve Lewis, of Northamptonshire, England, says he was “shocked” upon landing at Birmingham airport and seeing a can of Stella Artois sitting between the pilots.
“The plane had landed and the seatbelt light came on. I stood up to get my suitcase and as I did the cockpit door opened and I noticed the can,” said Lewis, according to The Metro. “I turned to my partner Steven, who didn’t believe me at first, but then he noticed you could clearly see the Stella

So that’s where I left it

The shot glass is to the left of the beer can hidden by that guy’s arm.
Yikes and lulz...The two Steves..
At least they’re drinking quality beer.

Should ah had a Becks Stella shorts its bottles not sure of the cans
Just landed, end of day, waiting for the nutjobs to leave the plane so they can get really relaxed. Notice it is sitting on a napkin. Oh, and it’s not opened. And the person sitting on the left is a woman (captain). And there’s more to it than what appears.
It also increases your chance of surviving a crash!
