Mumbai: Air India will clamp down on the practice of pilots getting meals from home and then asking cabin crew members to heat it up or sometimes asking them to prepare a salad and even wash tiffin box afterwards. The decision was taken on Wednesday when TOI reported how a captain and flight purser of a Bengaluru-Kolkata flight this Monday had a fight when the former reportedly asked the latter to rinse his tiffin. AI has grounded both the crew members.
AI chairman Ashwani Lohani said: “This nonsense has to stop and will stop.” Lohani has taken a very strict view of the fight on Bengaluru-Kolkata flight and both the crew members have been summoned to the airline’s Delhi HQ on Thursday for questioning.
A senior cabin crew member said: “AI pilots often bring home tiffin boxes on board and ask crew to heat and serve that meal. There are often requests from pilots like asking crew to chop onion, roast almonds and cashews in honey and make cheese toasts and fruit salad. All this must stop as cabin crew are on board for passenger service and safety and are not personal cooks of pilots.”
“On the other hand, pilots of private Indian airlines do not do this. Why so much drama in AI?” the crew member added.
