Pilot Boeing

@SisiraKantDash @AME_A320 @airindia Air India is the only 787 operated in India, ofcourse they’d be the first…..

Glad to inform @airindia has become the first #airline in India to hold the #STC for #Boeing787-8 Zero LOPA configuration. This reflects the vision and execution of inhouse engg capability enhancement for engg. #transformation. Thanks to #part21 team of AirIndia #AED #DGCA

@wingXaviation Where’s this indentation from ? Any source

🚨Air India is considering job cuts 👨‍✈️Workforce Changes -Air India evaluating workforce rationalisation, around 10% crew benching under consideration -Potential 5–7% workforce reduction out of 24,000 employees

@nakulvk @Aviatorflyboy 100% brought the flight in high on purpose to orbit to lose altitude. No one’s keeping you high on that route to Chennai.

@Aviatorflyboy They lost ~ 10k ft in the orbit to get back onto profile IG, I doubt it was an intentional orbit around VOTP just a happy coincidence for him IMO

Influenza is a real pandemic among the wannabe stars in Pilot communities

@ParrotBeaker @pune_santosh @jagritichandra Why so angry. Have you tried yoga ?

While no one wants to condone violence, some FACTS to consider here: If a passenger has been granted access to the crew line, you cannot accuse the crew of cutting that line. Common sense should apply here. (More on this later.) The passenger’s account leaves out that he repeatedly used abusive language toward the pilot — including the slur “MC” — which reportedly provoked the confrontation. Aviation sources say it is still being “examined” whether the passenger was under the influence of alcohol at the time. The same passenger was booked on a charter flight and is a credit-card points user — coupled with what appears to be a heavy sense of entitlement. (An opinion, but not an unfounded one.) About the reserved queue: that line is meant to ensure crew members can reach boarding gates quickly, at Terminal 1 the walk is a long one. The passenger was allowed into that line either through a personal connection with security staff, or after seeking special permission. Remember, he is booked on a charter flight! It’s basic etiquette to step aside and let flight crew pass. They’re not skipping a queue for convenience, but moving through it repeatedly as part of their duty. That same line, which passengers use once or twice per trip, is one the crew navigates several times a day between aircraft changes. Unpopular opinion: this entire episode reeks of entitlement — a credit-points traveller on a charter flight taking issue where none existed. Some respect for those in uniform wouldn’t hurt. For passengers, it’s leisure; for the crew, it’s work. Also Delhi airport's security queues are poorly managed. More such incidents will happen if the airport doesn't spend on properly trained private security agents that are increasingly replacing CISF because the latter are more expensive

@pune_santosh @jagritichandra Uncle please read the definition of “dead heading” in the DGCA CAR and please let us know if the government considers that duty or not. Sometimes saying nothing is better than arguing with 0 knowledge.

@jagritichandra What's the mentality of spreading mis information rampantly? Correct you left school and forgot the right and wrong ,school mentality teaches to distinguish between good and bad and act accordingly.

@In_Alpa wanted to say you guys are doing an amazing job, I’ve seen you do more in 1 year than I’ve seen FIP do since inception. I also had a request, many airlines in India need pilots reachable 2-3 hours before standby. Can you ask dgca if this is legal during your next meet?

@Daedalusflew This is good, the amount of pilots getting fake reports for medical is ridiculous

CRISIS in Indian aviation. All lab tests to be done at IAF boarding centres. Already stressed pilots now under extreme stress. More groundings expected.

@TIAG747 @KaptainPetrovs Ofcourse have a good day, I’d recommend you follow independent independent OSINT journalists ( like @sentdefender ) if you want a equal view of what both sides are saying.

@PilotBoeing1 @KaptainPetrovs To each their own? It's upto you to trust whom you want. I trust the IAF's confirmation, you trust international papers. Have a great day 👍

@TIAG747 @KaptainPetrovs Never seen someone get triggered by a simple question before. If everyone jumps off a bridge would you too ?

@TIAG747 @KaptainPetrovs I didn’t wanna reply until the new came out from international papers. Now do you see why blind faith is bad ? No one’s asking you to question, we are just saying use your brain instead of blindly following

@PilotBoeing1 @KaptainPetrovs Not now. Questioning is after this gets over. Ofcourse the IAF should answer questions. But is now the time to question our forces? Please tell me.

@Vloveplanes Thought he was in dgca as a foi, did he resign

@TIAG747 @KaptainPetrovs A smart person questions everything. Blind faith is the worst type of faith.

@PilotBoeing1 @KaptainPetrovs Please look at the thread. He's basing claims of unverified sources. It's a time to reamin united, not to question our army. Just learn from RaGa atleast 🤦‍♂️

@50ShadesofBleh You should see the fail rate of sfo coming and interviewing in the Middle East from a famous big Indian airline. It’s more than 70%

Senior first officers don’t wanna take command in Indian airlines. Solution: delete that designation 💲💵💸 Perpetual First Officer till you go to UAE. Waah kya scheme hai 🤣 Hai?

@AeroAwcs @BanditOnYour6 @jagritichandra Then you should report your airline to dgca because that goes against the CAR requirements

@BanditOnYour6 @jagritichandra my airline fuel policy forces me for early diversion to alternate, not enough fuel to try an approach at destination.

Delhi airport is slammed by rain and storm. One runway is shut for upgradation. To top it up, one airline has a no-extra fuel order for its pilots. You can guess how N Indian pilots will describe this cocktail of factors in their typical colourful language.

@Alpaindia2019 @DGCAIndia , Honorable @RamMNK Sir please look into this issue of fatigue in the Indian civil aviation sector. Airlines are flying pilots to the max limits and it’s affecting their health.

Our heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies go out to Captain Armaan's family and loved ones during this difficult time. Please know that you are not alone—our thoughts and prayers are with you. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

@6ESinger157593 @airindia So what exactly did they do ? Did they not do sims and log it ? Not much info online

#Breaking: @airindia sacks 1 Designated Examiner (DE) and de-rosters 10 pilots over falsified simulator training records—but this is a cover-up, not real accountability. This scandal isn’t just about a few pilots—it exposes systemic failures, regulatory lapses, and a deliberate attempt to shield top officials. Here’s why this is far bigger than the airline admits: 🚨 The Cover-Up: What They’re Not Telling You 🔹 Why was only two weeks’ CCTV records audited? A whistleblower triggered the probe, but if fraud was uncovered, why not audit the entire year’s records across all simulators and fleets? What else is being hidden? 🔹 How many other pilots used fake records to renew their licenses? This isn’t an isolated case—how widespread is the malpractice? 🔹 Pilots with forged records flew international flights. If an accident had occurred, the airline could face catastrophic insurance & liability claims—foreign regulators won’t take this lightly. 🔹 @DGCAIndia failure: The regulator mandates CCTV surveillance in training facilities—how did they miss this? Either they weren’t reviewing footage, or they turned a blind eye. What else has slipped through the cracks? ⚠️ Senior Leadership Protected: Why No Action? 🔹 Director of Training being reassigned instead of sacked. He failed to implement simulator audits, ignored CCTV footage, and previously tested positive for alcohol before a flight. He’s being moved to Head of the ATO (Approved Training Organization)—why is he indispensable? 🔹 SVP Ops untouched. The failure to implement a robust simulator audit process happened under his watch—yet no accountability? 🔹 CEO silent. The legal & moral responsibility for training integrity rests at the top. This scandal exposes corporate negligence—where is the leadership? 🌍 International Ramifications:@EASA & @FAANews Must Act 🔹 FAA & EASA scrutiny imminent. This scandal threatens bilateral safety agreements with the US (FAA), Europe (EASA), and other global regulators. If foreign authorities lose trust in DGCA oversight, Indian carriers could face downgraded safety ratings, increased inspections, or even route suspensions. 🔹 Huge risk to Indian aviation’s global reputation. Foreign carriers and leasing companies rely on the credibility of DGCA & airline training standards. If this scandal isn’t fully investigated, international confidence in India’s aviation safety framework will take a hit. 🔍 What Needs to Happen Now? 🚨 Full forensic audit of ALL simulator and CCTV records for the past year across all fleets. 🚨 Independent regulatory probe into DGCA’s failure to enforce its own policies. 🚨 Immediate overhaul of simulator training & audit processes to prevent future fraud. 🚨 Complete transparency—no more backroom deals to protect senior executives. This isn’t just an internal disciplinary matter—it’s a massive safety & regulatory failure with global implications. The airline preemptively posted this internally before the media picked it up—a clear attempt at damage control rather than real reform. Will @DGCAIndia, @icao, and @FAANews act, or will they look away? The world is watching. #AviationScandal #SafetyFirst #DGCA #PilotTraining #CoverUp #Accountability @MoCA_GoI @RamMNK

@Troubleswamy @6ESinger157593 @AirIndiaX In air india ? I know people who joined in August who are line flying already now

@6ESinger157593 @AirIndiaX People who cleared their entrance exams etc in 2024 March, have still not been inducted. If they call/ email to find out,the HR has a free hand to cut the call mid sentence and even hurl insults. Where is the pilot shortage?

A young pilot from @AirIndiaX shared the following message about an HR representative they regularly interact with—an opinion echoed by many others. “He’s the guy with the beard—extremely rude, especially to trainee pilots. He lacks basic communication skills, and his behavior makes it seem like he’s constantly irritated or mentally unsettled. Most of us try to avoid him because he’s unapproachable and difficult to deal with.” It’s disappointing to see such a situation in a @TataCompanies organization.

@manishasinghal Has it got to the point that people are making insta reels so much that they forget their own recency requirements and leave it up to rostering ?

Not so fine! Air India to pay penalty for CAR violations. Yet again. Saga continues. Latest: DGCA imposes on Air India a penalty of Rs 30 lakhs for CAR violations. Issue: ➡️ A F/O (who btw is quite a celebrity on X and found not so ‘safe’ here) , operated a flight on July 7th despite not having ‘mandatory’ recency requirement of 3 take offs and landings leading to violations of CAR . ➡️DGCA observes Rostering Controllers overlooked multiple spurious alerts reflecting on CAE window ➡️Recurrent rostering issues and non - violations of regulatory provisions have been reported & found by the regulator. ➡️DGCA issues a showcase notice to Head of Operations, Head of Rostering & Manager Roster Planning on Dec 13, 2024. ➡️DGCA notes that response by Air India submitted on Dec 27 ‘unsatisfactory’ . ➡️Air India instructed to take suitable actions against the three heads, submit compliance within 15 days (letter dated 29Jan) and penalty amount deposit within 30 days of receipt of demand. ➡️Air India can appeal against the order!! #aviation @airindia
