NEW DELHI: An Air India pilot is under scrutiny for reportedly calling a female friend to the flight deck while operating a Dubai-Delhi flight on February 27.
A crew member reported this alleged violation of rules to the airline and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation, both of which are investigating the complaint.
It is learnt that the so-called “friend” is a cabin crew trained for the Boeing 787. “This woman had gone to Dubai on AI’s work. She was sleeping in her economy class seat when the captain sent for her in the cockpit,” said an aviation source.
