An Air India pilot & her favourite snack Kachori

Bumped into a friend at the airport she's working for Air India & here on vacation. Did a bit of catch-up & she told me a funny story which happens to one of their female pilots, earlier this year. A
Captain Trehan who refused to switch her scheduled Mumbai-Jodhpur-Delhi flight to a later direct flight between Mumbai and Delhi.  The pilot wanted to fly via Jodhpur, as she had arranged for the city's famous onion kachoris to be delivered to the Airport.
Trehan, was staying at a Mumbai hotel when she was ordered to change flights. Her original flight had been scheduled for 12pm but she was asked to switch to a 2pm flight. She ignored the orders and turned up to the airport for her original job, informing operators that she did not intend to change her plans.
 Her refusal caused chaos among Air India staff as they scrambled to find a replacement pilot, delaying the Mumbai-Delhi flight by an hour.
 However the famous kachoris was successfully delivered to Captain Trehan at Jodhpur airport and she took off for Delhi without delay. So funny right? Indian ladies sure are feisty!
By the way this is what kachoris look like incase you are curious...lol....
