Jet Airways sacks two pilots involved in cockpit fight

Two senior pilots of Jet Airways, who were allegedly involved in a cockpit fight, have been sacked by the airlines. The scuffle between them took place while they were flying from London to Mumbai on January 1. 

"Consequent to the review of the events on board Flight 9W 119 London-Mumbai of January 1, 2018, Jet Airways has terminated services of both the cockpit crew with immediate effect," a Jet Airways spokesperson was quoted as saying by The Times of India.

The flight was operated by two commanders. According to reports, the co-pilot had allegedly slapped the lady commander. Following this, the cockpit was reportedly left unmanned on two occasions. 

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has taken a very serious view of this unprecedented episode.
