Jet airways pilots leave cockpit unattended [9W 119 LHR BOM Jan 1st 2018]

You dont see much news about India in US print media (except for the business section) typically.
(CNN in its early days used to run exactly same clip every 6 months or so about cows blocking traffic in Delhi - they would report it as if it is a new event in July but most people on the clip were wearing winter sweaters)

I think this 9W episode might replace "cows caused traffic" or "rats on AI flight".

Amazing that PR person had audacity to term this as "amicably resolved misunderstanding" (seemed so much like stuff coming from Ms Huckabee's mouth)

Looks like both western and Indian media use words Pilot, Co-Pilot, Commander interchangeably

Instead of providing link, suggest googling "Jet airways cockpit fight". Google will bring up about two dozen differently titled links. They all have more or less exactly same story (content wise) but the title selected by the particular news outlet tells you a lot about that media outlet.
