The Friendly Skies No More [Jonah Goldberg]
From the Times of London:
Air India investigates mid-air brawl between pilots and cabin crew
The pilots and cabin crew of an Air India flight brawled at 30,000ft after a stewardess accused a co-pilot of sexual harassment.
The cockpit of the Airbus A320 was reportedly left unmanned during the scuffle and at one point a pilot allegedly threatened to land Flight IC-844, from the United Arab Emirates to Delhi, in Pakistan, which it was flying over. According to Indian media reports, crew members threw punches and hurled abuse at each other in full view of 106 passengers.
Air India said it had grounded two pilots and two crew members over the incident, which happened at about 4.30am local time on Saturday.
