Update:

Roughly an hour ago, Interjet posted a message on twitter indicating that First Officer Ximena Garcia and another pilot identified during the day long investigation were barred from flying until a series of test (probably psychiatric examinations) were performed. She also posted this apology video:

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

It is worth noting that Federal authorities are still, not intervening with their own investigation.

Original:

Interjet is yet again embroiled in controversy after one of their employees, First Officer Ximena Garcia posted, jokingly I presume*, a terroristic threat on facebook. Her post read:

“A bomb should fall on the Zocalo [Main Square of Mexico City], it would do all of us a favor #vivaMexico

P.S. if you don’t like my comments delete me, believe me, I don’t give $2

Warm regards”

By context, the post was a death threat to those who were in the Main Square during the Independence day ceremonies; where hundreds of thousands of supporters of President Lopez Obrador cheered on as he presented his first independence day ceremony, commonly known as “el grito.” The Zocalo is flanked by a collection of important buildings, including the seat of the Executive Power; the National Palace, which was crammed with diplomats and high level officials on the 15th of September.

This, naturally, enraged multitudes of people. Some considered questioning her mental health, and whether she should be allowed to command an airliner with a MTOW of 80 tons.

The post was screenshoted, together with basic account information about her, and was circulated around twitter, enraging some, and placing interjet in an uncomfortable situation. Some even sent a screenshot of the post to the Twitter accounts of the FBI and DHS questioning whether someone publishing that kind of content should be allowed to fly internationally,as interjet does.

First Officer Garcia is certified to fly the A320neo, the most common type of aircraft interjet operates.

Interjet began an internal investigation, but the public clearly wants F.O. Garcia fired. Even a Federal Senator denounced her and requested that interjet fire her.

It is unclear whether Mexico’s General Directorate for Civil Aviation or the Secretariat of Transportation and Communications will open an investigation.

*: I do not intend to defend her comments, this is merely to point out that the post did not seem to be an actual attempt to carry out a Designated-Survivor type of attack.

Being stupid is not always illegal but will always be stupid.

Wow, how in ANY possible way did she EVER think this was a good idea to publicly post anywhere being the First Officer of an aircraft...

I don’t know what interjet will do with her... At least they should prohibit her from flying until she gets a full psych screening... They’re short on staff, my guess is that if they can get away with keeping her flying they will do so.

So she wants Mexico to be controlled by Spain again? I’m just failing to see what the goal would be here. (I also don’t know much history behind Mexican independence)

Mexico is currently very politically polarized, evidently F.O. Garcia is not very fond of the President or her supporters.

She didn’t post that picture to her social media; it was interjet who posted a picture of her on Women’s day.

Excuse me ma’am ... you’re not a Kardashian sister so you don’t get to post stupid crap just because you’re hot and can fly a jetliner!

Huh? I didn’t mean the pic, I mean her ‘terroristic’ comment on a social media platform?

Ah yes, well it was clearly a very  bad decision and a repulsive post

Specially considering the proximity to 9/11, and the fact that she flies the same sort of jet that a depressed F.O. intentionally c rashed in europe four years ago

The real question here is “is she single and ready to mingle”.

Yup, not the brightest light bulb, that one.

Well, on the positive, after they fire her she has a standing offer to grab my Twitter Stream and help me Tweet.

Hmmm, she could hop over POTUS’ wall and come work at the airport right near my work. I can see this totally working out

Is the airport a hub for any airlines?

Either way, she’d have to get an american license and that usually takes a lomg time

Seems like best move short term would be to go to India. Seems like anyone who can pay off the right people can get a license there, and already being an actual pilot has to be a plus. Plus given the current political situation there, it seems like she could make as many jokes as she wanted about bombing Muslims.

She’s certified to fly one of the most popular planes in the planet, she’s skilled in Hot and High airports.... I don’t think she’d have to go to india and bribe someone  in order to find a job...

Well depends how much she’s viewed as a liability/security threat right?

Cordial salutations would be the direct translation

Interjet should at least have a psych examination done on her..

she sounds nuts.  you’ll probably end up blindfolded and tied up, not in the way you are hoping for.

Oh c’mon.

Except in our modern times of undue outrage and faux concern, there wouldnt be anything out of the ordinary about this. At least in the US.

I mean how times have you heard the  joke “First, kill all the lawyers”. And yet nobody thinks of hauling the guy telling it in for a psych eval.

It’s not like she threatened to bomb the place personally. Nor is she enough of a public figure that you could accuse her of soliciting the crime from others.
