Pilots Fight in Mid-Air, Leaving Cockpit Unmanned and Crew Panicked

[Phil1111 1,183]

Two senior pilots have been grounded for fighting in the cockpit mid-air on a New Years Day flight from London to Mumbai with 324 passengers and 14 crew members on board.

Officials of Indian airline Jet Airways are investigating claims that a male pilot slapped his female colleague during a heated argument which resulted in both pilots leaving the cockpit unattended on the long haul flight.

After being slapped, the female pilot, who has not been identified, left the cockpit in tears, according to local newspapers. A member of the cabin crew, who was concerned about the safety of passengers, then tried to convince the pilot to re-enter the cockpit to operate the flight.

Wonder if the member was successful.

Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.
