Air India fights on

AIR INDIA really does seem to be in the wars, and following a week of strikes and disruptive action it seems that some flight staff have been involved in a bit of a serious tiff.  Quoting the Delhi police, Commander Ranbeer Arora and Captain Aditya Chopra were accused of trying to "molest" a female flight attendant who resisted their advances and was then thrown out of the cockpit.  Another crew member intervened and a fight allegedly ensued.  The pilots told police it was a male cabin crew member who had begun to "misbehave" and compromised safety, prompting the fight.  The flight attendant's claims, say the pilots, were cooked up to protect her fellow cabin crew member.  The net result of all this bother is that the aircraft, an Airbus A320 from Sharjah, landed safely in Delhi and all the crew members involved have been grounded.  There were 106 passenger witnesses to the incident. www.airindia.com
