Air India cabin crew allegedly forced to fly against their will
Cabin crew operating on the ill-fated Mangalore route on Saturday were allegedly forced to fly against their will. One of those forced to fly was a roommate of air hostess Sujata Survase, who died in Saturday’s crash. At least five cabin crew members operating on the route were threatened with criminal cases if they did not comply with the orders to fly. The call pressurising them to undertake the duties reportedly came from the Chief Operations Officer Ritesh Verma.
IMO: Air India Express is a cut price airline which, according to Al Jazeera, has been criticised for lax safety procedures. And, FWIW, a person allegedly connected with the recent Pune bombings was arrested at Mangalore airport on Monday.
