New Delhi: Two Air India pilots were derostered on Monday after a scuffle between the two in the cockpit of a plane just before its departure from Jaipur over a minor issue of the captain addressing his deputy as 'uncle'.
The incident took place when the plane was readying to take off for Delhi yesterday evening.
"We have derostered both the commander and the pilot of the Jaipur-Delhi flight pending enquiry," an Air India spokesperson said.
Denying that the co-pilot "physically" took on his captain, the spokesperson said there were only heated exchanges of minor argument, which was later resolved as well.
Sources, however, said that the senior pilot, who was younger in age, had actually called the the co-pilot "uncle" while asking him to prepare some mandatory flight details.
