Air India Pilot Made Passengers Wait Refused To Fly Without His Favourite Female Co-Pilot


Air India pilots and the airline company collectively have had a history of screwing up on numerous occasions in the past. And now, in yet a-n-o-t-h-e-r twist of tales, an Air India pilot refused to fly until and unless he was joined by by his favourite female co-pilot. WTF! Around 110 passengers were left stranded in a Male,Maldives bound flight from Chennai via Thiruvananthapuram when the pilot refused to take off in the absence of his favourite co-pilot. The pilot’s refusal to take off and subsequent tantrum about his co-pilot delayed the take-off for two hours from 7 A.M. to 9:13 A.M. The Air India commander in question had already resigned the week before and was serving his notice period.



The pilot had already requested the airline to let the female co-pilot to fly with him on Tuesday, but when the airline refused, he threatened to report sick.

On Wednesday after appearing for work, he refused to fly until his co-pilot joined him. The airline finally caved in, and arranged for the co-pilot to fly with him.

Air India is already infamous for it’s other goof-ups not counting the number of delayed flights it experiences causing passengers immense inconvenience.

And this small tantrum just added to the already infamous reputation of Air India. Needless to say, both the pilot and his ‘favourite’ co-pilot have been suspended pending further investigation, while Air India chairman and managing director Ashwani Lohani said, the airlines would neither condone nor tolerate such an act.

No wonder people say “Notice period” is your “Honeymoon period”. Nacho BC. Oops, sorry.
