more » Parked on the apron at Paris Orly Airport, a lone pilot of the French national airline Air France, leans out of his right-hand seat's cockpit window of his Boeing 777-328/ER aircraft (F-GSQT).

Attached to the plane is the mobile walkway, the air bridge, that awaits boarding passengers but no 'ramp agent' is below. .
