funky_house Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Two Air India pilots put the lives of 166 passengers on a Bangkok-Delhi flight in danger by taking a 40-minute break from the cockpit and getting two stewardesses to operate the plane in their absence. Their stunt almost ended in disaster after one of the stewardesses accidentally turned off the auto-pilot, forcing the pilots to rush back to their seats.

dpuma18 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Hahaha, Luckily this didn't end in a tragedy. They could have each taken turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarangFarang Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Technically, auto-pilot is probably safer than a real pilot in terms of navigation between two points. Putting two stewardesses in charge was the mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
