Air India suspends a pilot and a crew member: What would be the reason that Air India has taken this step? Is it ok that pilots put the flight in auto mode so that they could fight with other crew members and above all what about the safety of passengers in the flight? These are the few questions that came into mind after hearing the news of fight between air pilots and members in mid-air. An Air India airline has suspended a pilot and a crew member due to their ill-mannered behavior. It took this decision as a result of mid-air scuffle on Saturday October 3, 2009. There were four members who were involved in this scuffle. Two of them were pilot and the remaining were crew members. According to resources the airline has suspended Ranbir Arora who is the captain of flight IC 884 and flight purser Amit Khanna.
Cockpit was unmanned: According to Ranbir Arora, the cockpit was totally unmanned. On Monday, October 5, 2009 he used to say that the pilot’s compartment is unmanned because of this scuffle, but there is still some confusion as on the same day he gave another statement in which he directly said that there is nothing happened to cockpit during scuffle. He also added that during the process he has asked the hostess and her friend to go out but when they did not listen then almost I have to push them outside the cockpit. He also told that the whole conversation of Amit Khanna was for 10 minutes and during the conversation he started using abusive language which was not tolerable. Regarding matter of security of passengers, he said we never compromise with the safety of passengers and for this we are for sure. He also said that there was nothing to be happened wrong in the cockpit. He also admitted that the flight was flown over Pakistan and that was unmonitored. He said I apologize for that. Whatever he said now, the fact is this is very risky procedure and it may take lives of all passengers present at that time in the flight. This is the responsibility of pilots that how they manage each and everything during flight.
Air Hostess met National Commission for Women: On the other hand, the air hostess Komal Singh went to National Commission of Women office. She is the same hostess who is also involved in the scuffle met chairperson of national commission of women. After listening her, Girija Vyas, the chairperson has said that we are looking for the whole matter. She also said that we can take any step just after clearing everything and we are trying to find out the whole truth as soon as possible.
