WHAT WILL YOU DO IF YOU WERE IN A PLANE AND THOUGHT YOU HEARD THE PILOT AND CO-PILOT IN A SHOUTING MATCH. READ WHAT SOME PASSENGERS DID IN MALAYSIA

20 passengers disembarked on a Malindo Air flight bound for Subang in Malaysia just before take off after hearing a loud argument from the cockpit. All passengers except seven continued the flight from Bayan Lepas International airport Malaysia after the pilot apologised. The flight which departed at 10.30pm on thursday after a 50 minute delay landed safely in Subang.
A passenger on facebook who wishes to be known as KEE wrote "apparently the pilot and the co-pilot were having a serious fight, it was so loud that all the passengers were shocked.  A foreigner sitting on the front row then stood up and asked for permission to leave the aircraft. About 20 of us followed him. We went to the airport building and after a while, the pilot came down from the plane to apologise to us and invited us back on board".
KEE and six others felt the pilot and co-pilot were not in an emotional state to fly but others chose to come back.
They later lodged a report at the airport police base. However the Malindo public relations and communications director, Raja Sa'adi Raja said the situation was misinterpreted . The Captain was instructing a third observer-trainee pilot in a stern manner as he and the co-pilot prepared to take off.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!, nothing would have made us go back if we found ourselves in the same situation.
