New Delhi: An Air India pilot and a cabin crew member are being investigated after an argument over a lunch box delayed a flight by more than two hours, an official said Wednesday.

In full view of passengers, they nearly came to blows before other crew members intervened and both men were taken off the aircraft.
They have now been grounded and are being investigated.
Media reports said cabin crew often complain about haughty pilots demanding special service.
