The Indian press reports the co pilot has had his licence cancelled but surely the captain should suffer the same fate?
“Shortly after the plane took off, the two pilots had a fight," a source told The Times of India. "The co-pilot slapped the lady commander and she left the cockpit in tears. She stood in the galley sobbing.
“The cabin crew tried to comfort her and send her back to the cockpit, but in vain. The co-pilot also kept buzzing [on the intercom to] the crew, asking them to send the second pilot back."
They added: “However, they had a fight for the second time following which she came out again. This time, the cabin crew was quite afraid of the fight happening in the cockpit. They requested her to go to the cockpit and fly the plane safely to its destination.”
To abandon her responsibilities on the flight deck was not in the passengers interests.
If there was a third pilot on board surely he should have declared an emergency with all this emotional mayhem taking place.
