Expat pilot seeks upgrade, abuses airline and gets marching orders

Mumbai: Captain D Giles, a French commander, with Jet Airways was given marching orders for allegedly behaving in an abominable manner on board one of the airlines' flights.
It all started on a good note last week when Giles got his leave sanctioned and was on his way home for a holiday. "He boarded a Jet Airways flight to Brussels from Mumbai as a passenger in uniform,'' said a source.
But the problems began after Giles found that he had not been allotted a premier-class (business-class) seat. He started drinking and was soon abusing the airline in front of other passengers, the source said.
"He was inebriated and so full of rage that the flight attendants had to inform the flight commander,'' the source added. On landing, the commander prepared a report about the incident, following which the airline terminated Giles' service contract.
