Some sleep and some fight in the cockpit

In the cockpit there is a lot to do, do you think it's about 300 the various buttons and levers present and you have to know them all to memory, even those that are used less frequently.

When pilots carry out the maneuvers of takeoff and landing, must be coordinates and attentive, it goes without saying that understanding between the two pilots is important for a good job to be done.

When, alas, this understanding comes to miss unpleasant incidents happen. As in the case of two Air France pilots who unceremoniously arrived at the hands during a flight from Geneva to Paris. One of the two told the other, "I don't follow your orders," and from there the paraphernalia interrupted by flight attendants.

Everything seemed to proceed smoothly, shortly after takeoff however, something went crooked and the situation escalated to such an extent that one of them pulled a slap to the other. Then they grabbed each other and the other in revenge threw the suitcase on.

Hearing all the commotion, the flight attendants rushed into the cabin and separate the two pilots by restoring calm on board. Even one of the flight attendants had to remain for the rest of the flight sitting behind the pilots to make sure it didn't happen again.

"The fight that occurred in the cockpit was completely inappropriate behavior. It would appear that there was a dispute and an exchange of inappropriate gestures, the incident ended quickly without affecting either the conduct or the safety of the flight.

The two pilots involved in the incident have been suspended and are currently under investigation."

Report of the French civil aviation safety investigation authority. 

Not the first time two pilots have beaten each other in flight

It actually happens more often than you think, after all, all of us at work have our own sympathies and dislikes, if we don't get along with a colleague there is little we can do, although getting to physical confrontation is always wrong.

The airline Jet Airways fired two pilots who fought it out on a flight from London to Mumbai last January. The pilots were a man and a woman, and the fight broke out because the male pilot had slapped the female pilot, so there is also an aggravating factor not to be underestimated.

In addition to the fact that it would appear that the pilots have left unattended the cockpit twice during the argument, thus going against the rules of security in flight.

Finally, in 2018, two Iraqi Airways pilots have. beaten because of the food! Apparently the pilot prevented the flight attendant from bringing the meal to the co-pilot because he had not asked his permission.

"The conversation with the pilot became heated because he forbade a stewardess to bring me a meal tray on the pretext that I had not asked him for permission. Once we landed and got off, the pilot hit me again and insulted me. I had to defend myself."

Letter from co-pilot addressed to Iraqi Airways management.

In short, you fight even at high altitude! Have you ever witnessed such scenes? Let us know in the comments.
