Jet Airways grounds pilots after 'cockpit fight' - BBC News
Jet Airways has grounded two pilots following reports of a fight inside the cockpit of a flight from London to Mumbai.
Two senior pilots of the Jet Airways London-Mumbai flight - a man and a woman - fought inside the cockpit, following which they were derostered, pending an internal investigation.
The scuffle between the pilot and the co-pilot began when the flight was scheduled for take-off to Mumbai, on the New Year's day.
A Jet Airways spokesperson said that a 'misunderstanding occurred between the cockpit crew,' adding the matter was resolved amicably later.
"A misunderstanding occurred between the cockpit crew of Jet Airways flight 9W 119, London - Mumbai of January 01, 2018. However, the same was quickly resolved amicably and the flight with 324 guests including two infants and 14 crew members continued its journey to Mumbai, landing safely," Jet Airways said in a statement.
The Airline added the incident was reported to the DGCA and that the concerned crew were derostered pending an internal investigation, that was since initiated.
"At Jet Airways, safety of guests, crew and assets is of paramount importance and the airline has zero tolerance for any action of its employees that compromises safety," the statement added.

So amusing are the press releases by a company as they try and cover their a$$es. I think they should public bash the captain for (1) slapping the female FO and (2) for actually being so stupid that he left the cockpit try and bring her back in the cockpit. At a minimum.

Was the lady got slapped, the captain? It sounds like it.
“A CO-PILOT of an Indian airliner slapped the female pilot during a London-to-Mumbai flight on New Year’s Day”
And
“The co-pilot slapped the lady commander and she left the cockpit in tears.”

Most probably the other way
"Aviation regulator DGCA on Wednesday suspended the flying licence of a senior Jet Airways pilot after he got into a mid-air brawl with his co-pilot and allegedly slapped her inside the cockpit of a London-Mumbai flight on January 1...."
