Two Air France pilots suspended over fight in cockpit

Two Air France pilots have been suspended after they exchanged blows in the cockpit during a flight from Geneva to Paris in June, an airline official said Sunday.

Report informs, citing Switzerland's La Tribune, that the plane had just taken off from the Swiss city when the pilot and co-pilot got into an argument that led to one of them throwing a punch and the two grabbing at each other’s collars.

The cabin crew was forced to intervene, and one member stayed in the cockpit to babysit the pair for the remainder of the approximately one hour and 15 minute flight to the French capital.

The plane's cabin crew were forced to intervene and one member stayed in the cockpit to prevent another fight from breaking out.

The mid-air brawl didn’t affect the rest of the flight, and the plane landed safely, according to an airline rep.

A spokeswoman for the airline also called the behavior of the since-grounded pilots “totally inappropriate,” Bloomberg reported.
