Two cockpit entry violations in 4 months: AI CMD says ‘not adequately learning from mistakes’
NEW DELHI: Two separate cases of non-crew members being called to the cockpit – within four months – by pilots in violation of rules has clearly upset the Air India (AI) management. Air India managing director and chief executive officer Campbell Wilson on Friday clearly said while one must learn from mistakes, “repeats indicate that we are not adequately doing so whether due to complacency, carelessness or some other factor”.
Non-crew members were invited to the cockpit of an international flight this February and then on a domestic flight earlier this month. In both cases, the DGCA suspended the pilots’ licences for upto a year.
