Don’t make captain, crew “scapegoats” in pee-gate: ex pilots to Air India

A section of serving and retired pilots have strongly criticised the de-rostering of the captain and the crew of a New York-Delhi flight in which a drunk male flier urinated on a female co-passenger. The pilot fraternity is rallying behind the crew and the captain as they believe that if any action was needed against them, it would have been taken on Nov 27 or immediately after. They said that the de-rostering of the crew is a clear attempt by the airline to deflect and dissipate culpability.
