# Air T.ahiti Nui heading to a strike next week Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Tahiti & French Polynesia
silvanocat 05:42 UTC 24 Jun 2011 | And you won't believe why. Apparently two Air T.ahiti Nui pilots on layover in J.apan got into a fight with an A.merican Airlines pilot. They broke his jawbone and he was unable to fly his plane causing delays for AA. ATN fired its pilots. The strike is in protest. The union has filed the required five days notice. The ATN pilots claim that the AA pilot threw the first punch. The J.apanese hotel, where the flight crews stay, has banned the ATN pilots. Periods added to place names to avoid creepy LP spam links. |
