No more ‘Sir’ in Air India Express in a bid to make communication informal
In order to rejig the power gradient in the cockpit, Air India Express has instructed its first officers to address the pilot-in-command, not as ‘Sir’, but by their first name or simply as ‘Captain’, reported TOI.
The operations circular issued on Friday referred to the October 2018 Trichy accident in which an Air India Express aircraft had a tail strike, then hit a ground-based navigation aid and finally took down the upper portion of the airport boundary wall before it took off for Dubai.
