What The? Indian Flight Crew in a Fight

Bringing you an outright strange piece of news from Indian Airlines - The pilot and co-pilot got in a fight with the cabin crew midair. The fight took place in the cockpit as well as the isle where passengers saw them slug it out.

The two parties give two different stories. I can't honestly make heads or tails out of it. It's either previous tension, harassment, a mistake in an announcement or something.

But if you thought turbulence scary how would you react to seeing your pilot in a fist fight at 30,000 feet? Oh, and it was an Airbus A-320, which can carry about 150 people. I would probably feel safer flying in an old Tupolev piloted by a drunk Russian than with Indian Airlines right now.

You can find the original here, as reported by The Times of India:
