Iraqi Airways Sacks Two Pilots For Fighting In-flight Over Food by massmediang: 3:08pm On Jul 29, 2018
Iraqi Airways had sacked two pilots for fighting in-flight a food tray with 157 passengers plus crew onboard.
The incident occurred on a flight to the capital Baghdad from the Iranian city of Mashhad, with 157 travellers on board plus crew.



“Conversation with the pilot became heated because he forbade an air hostess from bringing me a meal tray, under the pretext that I hadn’t asked him for authorisation,” the co-pilot said in a letter addressed to Iraqi Airways management, seen by AFP.

The letter further stated that after the pilot had taken his own meal, he “hit and insulted (the co-pilot), prompting the arrival of a security agent”.

The ‘flying gladiators’ went on with their quarrel even after safely landing the plane in Baghdad.

“The pilot again hit and insulted” his colleague, the co-pilot said, admitting that he also lashed out: “I had to defend myself.”

AFP has not seen the pilot’s account of the incident and the airline did not detail when the scuffle took place.
