From 3 days ago, was unable to find it posted already.

No names mentioned. They go out of their way to avoid calling her anything except "commander", but note:

"The flight crew eventually managed to coax the woman back into the captain’s seat, and the plane landed safely in London just after midnight on Jan. 2."

Perhaps she wasn't covered enough?

From today:

She left in tears?

What’s wrong with women today?

Belt him back.

Although she may have lost her license, too, but sheesh........

And he should. Slapping a woman is wrong. Hitting another person is assault.

He should be let go and delicensed for assault and insubordination.

I don't want someone who slaps someone during flight to be on a flight deck.

And I don't want someone who leaves the flight deck in tears during a flight if they get slapped to be on the flight deck.

This is why no one should ever fly on an airline headquartered in the Middle East, India, or any of the Asian countries, because you never know when you will get some deranged muslim nutball as your pilot. Possible exception would be Singapore Airlines.

Agreed.

My first thought when she read this was that she was on a qual flight or something like that with a veteran in the co-pilot seat to grade her.

He should be canned, no questions asked, for slapping her (unless she was acting irrationally and wouldn’t relinquish the controls or something like that, which it doesn’t sound like)

But I don’t like that she left in tears either. That is a problem for me.

When I first read the title I assumed that the co-pilot was from San Francisco.

Don't fly Jet Airways in India then.
