Two Jet pilots grounded over flight error

New Delhi:  Two Jet Airways pilots have been grounded by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) after an aircraft they flew last month reportedly gave a stall warning—that the aircraft didn't have enough thrust to stay airborne. Luckily, the co-pilot of the Boeing 737 immediately pushed the throttle to log the required air speed and thereby averted a crisis.
Airline sources, however, have denied that the aircraft had stalled and said there was a lack of speed only for a few seconds.
