Air India co-pilot beats up captain inside cockpit

[dasleben]

It's stories like these that seem to reinforce my idea that I'd be content doing domestic narrow-body flying for the duration of my career.

Sounds terrible to me.

What if you could be home every night and go surfing? I think its one reason a lot of people are lifers here.

 

[Autothrust Blue]

Maybe they did that on purpose?

Let's step outside rarely works.

Come out to the parking lot, I think I remember what the clearance was!

That's unlikely based on where I live. International freight is a good gig, anyway (good way to stack FunBux™).

True. 25 more hours and my application is in.

I know of this happening in Japan and at a certain regional here in the USA. Just didn't make the news.

Once upon a time I was a flight instructor at an Indian dominated flight school. I was told that it is not uncommon for captains in India to verbally and occasionally physically abuse FO's, especially the FNG's. Though I often wished I could do the same as an instructor, it sounds to me like the FO grew a pair fought back.

Good ole RFC in Tulsa eh

I needed that. I'm flying with a captain today who is making me want to throw a chair. Sadly there is no room to do that in the 717.

I think you should dread that day more than me.

Don't kid yourself, bro!

Too much exposure domestically.

India is interesting.

I was just reading an article by a KLM 777 pilot saying when they get their clearance at Indian airports, all 3 pilots write down what they think the controller said and then compare notes before the pilot working the radios responds. This is because apparently if a crew has trouble understanding the Indian controllers English, it is common for them to take great offense, become angry, and then ignore the aircraft for 30-60 minutes before giving them "another chance".

I'd give that controller 30-60 minutes of "stuc mic" time.

Ehh, some of the modern jets will cut out after 30 seconds.

Not if it is manually initiated with "curry fart" noises interrupted every so often with "you have the power to end this."

...probably good I'm not an airline pilot.
