New Delhi, Jan 9: The leading Indian private airlines, Jet Airways has sacked two of its senior commanders who were involved in a cockpit fight while flying from London to Mumbai on January 1. 

According to a Jet Airways spokesperson, "After reviewing the events on board Flight 9W 119 London-Mumbai of January 1, 2018; the Management has terminated services of both the cockpit crew with immediate effect.
During the flight, the "co-pilot" had allegedly slapped the lady commander and then the cockpit was left unmanned on two occasions when he went out to bring her back in.
The spokesperson said the cockpit fight was a shocking one and a very serious incident. Both the pilots were out of the cockpit a couple of times and there was no one there. 
It is alleged the lady commander was hit by the co-pilot and she left the cockpit. As per rules, one pilot can leave the cockpit as long as another is there. So she left when one pilot was still on the controls. UNI
