 A young woman claims she was entertained in the cockpit for an entire flight back in 2011 by the co-pilot who was on board the Malaysian Airlines plane that went missing on Saturday. Jonti Roos, who lives in Melbourne, came forward with photos of her posing with a man she claims is 27-year-old Fariq Abdul Hamid - the first officer on missing flight MH370. She told A Current Affair she and a friend were ready to board a flight from Phuket to Kuala Lumpur in 2011 when the two pilots asked if they would spend the duration of the international flight in the cockpit. Ms Roos says they were seated in the cockpit during takeoff and landing and that the pilots even asked the girls to stay a few nights in Kuala Lumpur with them. "Throughout the entire flight they were talking to us and they were actually smoking throughout the flight, which I don't think they're allowed to do," Ms Roos said. "I know for the whole time they weren't facing the front of the plane and actually flying. "[They were] possibly a little bit sleazy. They invited us, well asked us, if we could arrange our trip to stay a few extra nights."  While passengers are not permitted under any circumstances in the cockpit, according to a Malaysian Airlines spokesperson, Ms Roos said she never felt unsafe. "I don't think there was one instance where I felt threatened or I felt that they didn't know what they were doing," she said. "I felt like they were very friendly, but I felt they were very competent in what they were doing." Ms Roos said she was shocked when she saw photos of Abdul Hamid who was one of 239 people on the flight that disappeared en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur on Saturday. "When I realised it was the exact same co-pilot and not only that but I had met him and I have photos in the cockpit with him, that was quite shocking," she said.  "When I saw all his friends and family posting on his wall my heart really broke for them and my heart broke for the family of the passengers. It's just a really sad story."
