Senior Air India pilot Captain Arvind Kathpalia has been sacked from the position of Director of Operations, a day after he was barred from flying for at least three years on charges of failing an alcohol test before a scheduled international flight. The Indian Commercial Pilots' Association (ICPA), earlier today, had demanded Captain Kathpalia's immediate termination because he was a "repeat offender who endangers the lives of passengers". Union Civil Aviation Minister Suresh Prabhu also asked the national carrier to relieve him immediately, sources said.
