Air India Captain b*tchslaps the F/O while taxiing for takeoff on a flight from Mumbai to Dubai.

http://web.mid-day.com/news/city/200...ary/102809.htm

The first officer walked out, and refused to fly. Another [replacement] F/O had to be found for the flight to continue.

Sooo....

While taxiing, if you were b*tchslapped by the Captain, would you:

A. Do the same as the AI F/O, and just walk out refusing to
fly the leg.

B. B*tchslap him back

C. Tell him, "That's it?!? My wife hits harder..."

D. [Other]... explain what/why.

C. since she probably does.

I think this guy watched too many John Wayne movies.......

I've got to apologize. I didn't see this post earlier before I posted it in "General Topics"!

You get credit for 'first kill' on the topic!

No apologies necessary! I was thinking about posting it in the General Topics section, but decided to put a followup question.

I'd smack him back hard enough to knock him unconcious, have the FA drag him out, then log me some PIC time

Joking aside, I'd probably walk out. If the captain's going to resort to that as opposed to being reasonable, then I'm outta there.

Good call.

In India, wouldn't the punishment be to cut off the hand used to slap the First Officer?

sounds like a good way to pay for some more multi

But I'd have to say C. Then clock em one the right way.
