Two Air India Pilots Got In A Fight Over WHAT?!

The story is going around of two Air India pilots who allegedly got in a cockpit fight yesterday after the captain asked the first officer to write down critical information (how dare he!!!).

Via Yahoo News:

"The co-pilot allegedly assaulted the captain inside the cockpit as they were preparing the passenger plane for takeoff from the Indian tourist city of Jaipur to New Delhi on Sunday night, the Hindustan Times newspaper said.

The co-pilot was irritated by his superior's request to write down critical information for the flight, such as the number of passengers on board, take off weight and fuel uptake, the Times Of India reported."

BIG NEWS: New Budget Travel Guides and Book Updates!

Back in September, I announced the release of a series of travel guides, beginning with five cities around the world.
