Salmer\u00f3n tells, in an audiovisual broadcast by the Trade Union Association of Aviator Pilots (ASPA), that she decided to record, with the prior authorization of the captain she was accompanying that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2022\/08\/aeromexico-will-resume-flights-to-havana-cuba.html\">Aerom\u00e9xico will resume flights to Havana (Cuba) in October.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video was later leaked and widely circulated on social networks. The pilot was sanctioned while the case was being reviewed, which gave rise to Volaris reducing its capacity at the AICM to redistribute it to other airports in the Valley of Mexico and for the authorities to decide to set up working groups to review the safety conditions under which operates the capital&#8217;s air port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Salmer\u00f3n had flying roles for just over a month after the incident, but was later fired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;No one could tell me, it was more or less after a month, no one answered me and had no idea what was happening, a week passed, until they decided to end the employment contract with me, I don&#8217;t know the reason, I have no idea \u201d, assures Salmer\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2022\/08\/aeromexico-will-increase-its-flights-to-madrid-from-guadalajara-and-monterrey.html\">Aerom\u00e9xico will increase its flights to Madrid from Guadalajara and Monterrey.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, the ASPA and the College of Aviator Pilots of Mexico approached the pilot. Jos\u00e9 Alonso, Press Secretary of the Association, told El Financiero that Captain Salmer\u00f3n is receiving initial training to be able to pilot the Aerom\u00e9xico Boeing 737, with whom she has a contract to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Asked about the reasons for integrating Salmer\u00f3n into the Association through a contract with Aerom\u00e9xico, Alonso indicated that &#8220;the support and defense of all pilots&#8221; is part of the basic principles of the union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<div
