Asiana A380 crew punch-up?
Seems 2 FOs had a falling out prior to departure with one ending up visiting the ER while the other continued the flight to destination.
Asiana Airlines under fire for letting injured pilot fly after punch-up |
As they were both ex Military, I would put money on this being in some part due to some kind of "lack of respect" to the higher ranking officer from their Military days (not who is senior in the company).
Pure speculation on my behalf, having worked in Korea. |
Not a lot of info in the news bit on this.
Simply being able medically to fly does not necessarily cover it alone. Some degree of adrenaline coupled with discipline worry might be the more serous concern. |

Is it just me, or would others prefer that any pilot playing Fight Club with other airline employees (or anyone else) is not someone that is tempermentally suited to sitting in a large transport airliner cockpit. I don't care whether he was physically injured or not, I don't want him there, and I can't imagine a reason why airline management would have let him continue to fly. Just another reason why certain airlines are on my no-fly list.

For all we know the uninjured pilot was not the instigator and only acted in self defense. Who are we to judge him not temperamentally suited to sit in a large transport airliner cockpit?

SeenItAll:
"Just another reason why certain airlines are on my no-fly list". It's nothing personal but I see this statement so often that I find it quite frankly risible. Do you really think that any airline in the world gives a toss whether or not you have put them on your "no fly list"? |
The history of the industry is littered with the corpses of airlines who lost sight of why passengers should want to fly with them rather than with the competition.
|
Well they aren't the first airline pilots to have resorted to fisticuffs although waiting until after the flight, too many beers and an argument over a woman is more conventional.
|
Nothing like having a fight in the cockpit while taxiing in, falling against the cockpit door, and falling into first class with swinging fists. 1980 ish.

For all we know the uninjured pilot was not the instigator Whether or not you want it, you pilots are held in great esteem by the vast majority of the public. I think they would prefer to fly without a crew member that hadn't just been involved in a brawl. Like button push ignored the Korean cargo crash at STN also sprang to my mind when I read about this. IIRC the RHS just kept his mouth shut even although he knew his inaction would kill them all, the military thinking was that pervasive. I too am sure there was a case (in the 80s) where the flight deck were fighting with each other before crashing, but a quick search reveals nowt. |

To reply to "button push ignored": I believe KAL lost an A300 at Seoul on 10/08/94 in an over-run accident. No-one killed, but was reported that 2 pilots had a disagreement (about whether to continue the landing?)
