Air India de-rosters pilot and cabin crew after urination incident

Tata Group-promoted Air India has derostered and issued show-cause notice to four cabin crew and one pilot who were on duty on the November 26 New York-Delhi flight on which an inebriated passenger urinated over a fellow female passenger. In a press statement, Air India CEO and managing director Campbell Wilson expressed regret over the incident and admitted that the airline could have handled the matter better, both in the air and on ground.

Meanwhile, accused 35-year-old Shankar Mishra, who was sacked on Friday by his employer Wells Fargo, was remanded in 14-day judicial custody by a Delhi court after he was arrested by the Delhi police on Friday from Bengaluru. The court will hear his bail plea on January 11.
