After psychologists’ feedback, Air India turns down 40 pilots

NEW DELHI: Air India has rejected about 40 of the 160 pilots, who had appeared for interviews on concerns raised by psychologists, especially after the Germanwings incident, where the co-pilot deliberately crashed a plane killing 150 people on board.

This is the first time that an Indian carrier rejected so many pilots on the basis of feedback given by psychologists.

Air India, which announced the interview results on Thursday evening, could fill only 78 of the 197 vacancies ..
