It looks like passengers aren’t the only ones acting unruly on airplanes but crew members. Two pilots have been suspended after fighting in the cockpit mid-flight.

The incident happened on an Air France flight from Geneva to Paris. One pilot reportedly slapped the other for refusing to follow orders.

Things quickly escalated, and the pilots grabbed each other by the collar before one clocked the other in the face with a briefcase.

Flight attendants heard the commotion and rushed into the cockpit to split up the fight. Fearing another skirmish would break out again, a flight attendant sat behind the pilots to babysit for the remainder of the flight.

A spokesperson confirms the tussle from June 2021, with The Sun stating there was a “dispute” with an exchange of “inappropriate gestures” on the Airbus A320.

The spokesperson described the incident as “totally inappropriate behavior.”

Luckily for everyone on board, the flight attendants could de-escalate the situation so the flight could operate as normal.

As for the pilots, they’ll have some time to think about their actions while off work. Air France suspended them until an investigation from France’s civil aviation safety authority is complete.
