Several users also warned that such clips could encourage other pilots to copy similar stunts in order to create viral content.
Some viewers described the act as unprofessional, saying passenger safety should always come before entertainment. A few also questioned whether the pilot would have made the same gesture if the passenger had been a man, though there is nothing in the video to answer that.
