That would sure be a stressfull situation for the passengers.
I was on a flight last spring where two stewardess were having a major problem with each other.They made up with each other and announced it over the intercom before we landed. The passengers all started applauding!

Flying with twins is a lot of fun..

Good evening all...

I am afraid Steve if those two had been working for the airline I flew for they would be looking for new jobs and probably not in the aviation industry.

As for the Air India crew, they should all be fired with return of pension contributions and the pilots should lose their Pilots Certificates for life.
The pilots put at risk:
-the passengers
-the rest of the crew
-the aircraft
If a loss of an engine or some other mechanical failure had occurred even while the aircraft was on auto pilot a serious mishap or accident could have happened.

That type of behaviour has never been tolerated by the military, the civilian airlines or commercial carriers that I know of and I am sure Air India will not tolerate two pilots leaving the cockpit, do the right thing and fire this aircrew.
A little bit of jail time for the two pilots would not hurt either.

I very seldom involve myself in this type of a post but you now have my two cents worth.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
