I am neither a pilot nor claim to be an expert on what is or is not Standard Operating Procedure when piloting an aircraft. However, like you, i am entitled to my opinion and I can make my own judgements and decisions based on the facts how I see them. In this case I have decided to cast a vote against AIR INDIA by voting with MY WALLET and MY COMPANY'S WALLET.....for My safety and for those who work for me. You can choose to continue to fly AI and I wish all that continue to fly them God's Blessings.<br /><br />Just because we share a difference of opinion on this topic, I hope that you don't stop reading my blog.

Ask ...There are some points i would like to share:<br /><br />Ask any airline pilot in the world about what does he look outside during flying that helps him? Nothing! A few 100 feet after the takeoff and a few 100 feet before landing is the only time a pilot peeks out, that's because every airline pilot is instrument rated (a privilege to fly without any visual reference). The picture shown above is when an aircraft is parked, so big deal. And i love the way people put things in, "its a common practice in AI...".<br /><br />Safety concerns of cockpit doors kept unlocked...Rubbish! nobody does that even the cabin crew has to punch in codes or request via intercom to enter.<br /><br />A concern about inadequate practical knowledge of co-pilots in AI. Yes true, in India we have given a lot of importance to theory unlike US and other countries. but if that's a concern then what about mere 21-22 year old commanders in indigo and kingfishers? nobody ever raised any point on that. Its just that "ghar ki murgi daal ke jaisi"<br /><br />check this link out:<br />http://andhrafriends.com/index.php?topic=196279.0<br />this is probably only 10% of the reasons AI has reached this stage.<br /><br />why cant people see the fact that AI now has one of the youngest fleets in the country and still it has a bulging debts and losses of more than 40,000 crore only since the last few years. That F#$%^* came in like a termite and eat it all. <br /><br />think about it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266641512196521879.post-43083216489494866922011-06-11T22:34:43.092+05:302011-06-11T22:34:43.092+05:30Hey Lloyd

I must confess I stared closely at the pictures to see what was amiss and could not spot anything until I read the blog! As on old time Air India ( India Airlines) traveler, I must confess its time to return the Pauper Maharaja to the the care of the Tatas.<br /><br /><br />On another note, reading your bolgs, I am amazed at how rich and nuanced your observations of India are: and these are mostly about things we treat as mundane and take much for granted. We are back from a short vacation in the States and the impressions are fresh: the contrasts between the countries are immense and there is still something infinitely appealing about living the "American Dream". But like all travelers, at the end of the day, its good to be back home to the comforting embrace of our enduring chaos.<br /><br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br /><br />Ram<br /><br /><br />RamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7266641512196521879.post-19104717958073111982011-06-11T22:32:41.055+05:302011-06-11T22:32:41.055+05:30Respected Lloyd Sir,
Very Good Morning !!!!!!!!!...Respected Lloyd Sir,<br /> <br />Very Good Morning !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /> <br />I have gone through the article in the thread/link provided by you and had a spine chilling affect. The statement by a pilot that he felt like one woman having 1000 husbands aptly describes the state of affairs of Air India. <br /> <br />Your social awareness is very commendable and you have a very keen eye for perfection. Unfortunately, at Air India these qualities are seriously lacking thereby putting the valuable lives of passengers at risk.<br /> <br />Let us hope that things will improve.<br /> <br />Sir, please keep posting such thoughtful articles.<br /> <br />Warm regards<br />Srinivasa RaoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
