CRM Breakdown in India

[Graham2001]

Struggling state-run carrier Air India has grounded two of its pilots after a fight erupted between the pair just before takeoff.


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.

Thankfully this happened on the ground.

If the parking brake was set and the scuffle was away from the power levers, I'd say it was very sold CRM.

Edit: Forgot that they need to check in with ATC and park in a designated holding area so as to not block the taxiway.
