Another week in WTF

Yesterday on an Air India flight, two pilots got into a punching fight with the cabin crew. By some reports, the four were actually fighting in the galley while NO ONE WAS FLYING THE PLANE!

Endangering the lives of 106 passengers and grossly violating safety norms, the airline staffers came to blows in the cockpit and galley of the Indian Airlines Airbus A-320 as the aircraft cruised over Pakistan en route to Delhi via Lucknow from Sharjah.

The cabin-vs-cockpit tiff originated on the ground in Sharjah itself and then turned into a full-blown fight once IC 884 took off soon after midnight.

The cabin crew is saying that the pilots sexually harassed the female hostess. The pilots are saying that the belligerent male steward burst into the cockpit in anger and had to be forcibly ejected. One additionally bizarre event, when the plane landed at its second destination, 70 of the passengers deplaned (many presumably out of concern with the behavior of the crew) and no one reported the incident! The plane took off again with the same crew and the remaining 36 passengers to its eventual destination of Delhi.
