MSN seems to blaming an air hostess for causing a pilot to crash a Nepal Air crash:

"Captain Abid Sultan was said to have suffered an emotional breakdown in the cockpit after an air steward questioned his flying skills on the March 12 flight to Kathmandu."

"A female co-worker had 'questioned his reputation as a good instructor' on the flight from Dhaka, Bangladesh, a draft of the report leaked on Monday said."

'This mistrust and stress led him to continuously smoke in the cockpit and also suffer an emotional breakdown several times during the flight,' it said.

"The pilot, a former Bangladesh Air Force pilot who was also an instructor for the airline, was 'crying and sneezing on several occasions during the flight', it is claimed."

What the jeff? He DOES sound like a bad pilot and he should have been reported to his governing body. The air steward was only telling the truth Confused

I don't think that is necessarily blaming the steward though is it? Just highlighting her as a catalyst in the chain of events.

If he's that emotionally volatile and sensitive he shouldn't be working as an airline pilot. That is not a job for the easily stressed.
