In the world of aviation, on-the-job selfies are the quickest way to find yourself in the unemployment line. 

Two pilots were fired after taking photos with an actress in the cockpit during a flight on Tuesday from Buenos Aires to Rosario. The woman, Vicky Xipolitakis, shared the photos with her 405,000 followers on Twitter.  

In the photos, the trio looks like they're having a great time — smiling widely as they pose in the cockpit. The problem is that one of the photos was clearly taken while the plane was in-flight, a fact that didn't impress airline management. 

Mariano Recalde is the president of Aerolineas Argentinas and told the local news that the pilots in-air selfies put other lives at risk. "As soon as we became aware of the situation, we dismissed the pilots," said Recalde. "They are two irresponsible people."
