Cathay Pacific has launched disciplinary proceedings after a captain was photographed asleep at the controls of a passenger flight from Dubai to Hong Kong, the South China Morning Post reported Sunday.

Cathay Pacific bosses launched action against an employee who took a photo of the captain as he had “power nap” in cockpit at 11,000 meters on Dubai-Hong Kong flight, the newspaper said.

The photo was taken in August, it said.

The airline employee, who took the picture, leaked it to a journalist for use in a newspaper, the report said.
