British Airways pilot left cockpit door open mid-flight for family; suspended
New York: A British Airways pilot was reportedly suspended for risking the safety of passengers and crew members after he left the cockpit door open while operating flight from London Heathrow (LHR) to New York, John F. Kennedy (JFK) flight.
The pilot, whose identity remains anonymous, allegedly wanted his family, who were travelling as passengers, to watch him at the controls, as reported by The Sun.
“The door was wide open for a significant time, enough for people to worry and comment,” the report quoted its source as saying.
British Airways colleagues were so “alarmed that the pilot was reported in the US and bosses had to suspend him.”
An investigation into the case has been launched, and the return flight was cancelled. The passengers were offered alternative flights from New York to London.

CM Siddaramaiah labels Kumaraswamy 'Manuvadi" over Bhagavad Gita curriculum push
Bengaluru (PTI): Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday took a swipe at Union Minister H D Kumaraswamy, by calling him a "Manuvadi" after his alliance with the BJP, for seeking the inclusion of Bhagavad Gita in curriculum for students.
The CM's dig came in response to Kumaraswamy's recent letter to Union Minister for Education Dharmendra Pradhan, requesting the inclusion of the Bhagavad Gita in the curriculum of students.
"After Kumaraswamy joined hands with the BJP for elections, he has become a Manuvadi," Siddaramaiah told reporters here after paying tributes to B R Ambedkar on his 69th death anniversary here.

Remembering Ambedkar, Siddaramaiah highlighted his contribution to the Constitution and his relentless fight to provide social justice.
The CM noted said fed up with social and caste system in Hinduism, and unable to reform it, Ambedkar accepted Buddhism.
He said, "Ambedkar, towards the end of his life, quit Hinduism and joined Buddhism. He was born in Hinduism, but cannot die in Hinduism, because he could not reform Hinduism, despite several efforts, so he accepted Buddhism."
