New Delhi, Jun 19: In a shameful incident, Air India has de-rostered the captain and a crew member of a Bengaluru-Delhi flight AI 772 for fighting in front of passengers on-board, on Monday.
Sources said the argument started when the captian asked the crew member to wash his tiffin box.
Confirming the incident, an Air India official said that they have already launched an investigation and issued summons to the crew members for questioning.
A senior cabin crew member, as per TOI report, said, “AI pilots often bring home tiffin boxes on board and ask crew to heat and serve that meal. There are often requests from pilots asking crew to chop onion, roast almonds and cashews in honey and make cheese toasts and fruit salad. All this must stop as cabin crew are on board for passenger service and safety and are not personal cooks of pilots.”
