@cvkrishnan @maahirpanchal You’re fully wrong here. Nobody really wants to start an airline in India (& for good reason). It’s an uphill battle until 100s of aircraft (economies of scale) + crude oil + INR dep + high ATF taxation + babu regulators — just to name a few lmao. This is why.

[$AP @iceman___7]

@cvkrishnan @maahirpanchal Prices are High because cost is high! Crude above $120 is a monstrosity for Indian airlines (ATF is the largest variable cost to run an airline, approximately 40-60%).

Yes we are underserved, however not so much domestically but internationally.

@btarunr I have just never understood how another jet in the family is the right way forward. The ATR works because of its low altitude & short-hop fuel efficiency. The Embraer is a proper turbofan, not a turboprop, and thus the efficiency isn’t the same for the ATR routes anyway.

@aadharrr Man the opportunity cost of driving 16+ hours is ridiculous. Can’t tell if you’re doing this for the lols just to save 7-10K, but kudos

So the self-sabotaging Dehat @ShivamVahia has deleted his post glorifying India’s four-digit AQI during Diwali.

Yo… what happened, you small-penis-energy Vahia-t?

@mishra_baibhav Unfortunately, unit economics in aviation are brutal and thus the balance between serving routes and price quickly tips in the favour of the latter when crude jumps. Unlike what most think, it’s not to increase the RASK-CASK gap (aka, profit) but just to maintain viability.

13,629 FEET. A NEW HEIGHT IN AVIATION HISTORY.

​An Indian Air Force IL-76MD has scripted history with a successful landing at Nyoma, marking the highest-altitude landing ever achieved by the aircraft anywhere in the world.
​A remarkable demonstration of the aircraft’s enduring capability, backed by the exceptional skill, precision, and professionalism of its crew.

​A milestone that reinforces India’s strategic airlift capability.

​Pushing boundaries. Redefining limits. Making history.

[Chirag Barjatya @chiragbarjatya]

I am not seeing a single runner asking to stop running after .0001% deaths in marathons. It is only ramesh sitting on a sofa with 27% bf at the vo2 max of 27 with rhr of 67 saying things like omg marathons are killing people. No, ramesh, bigger public health crisis isn’t people running 42 kilometres. It’s millions of people who can’t even run 200 metres - including you.

[sajan @sajaniaf]

Balasore triple train accident claimed 296 lives, yet zero accountability. AI 171 crash killed 260 people, and we still don’t know why it happened. We are not a serious nation.

[octopus/caveman @octopuscaveman]

I work in aviation so this morning I got to sit around with a bunch of pilots and discuss this horrible situation and I found it so interesting that none of the pilots thought the gender or race of the pilots were a factor at all but a bunch of fucking idiots on here do.

[X Capitan @Piloto_Steve]

Today has really fucked me off.

People think all pilots look like me, old, grey, half bald with a beer in hand. They forget that we all have to start somewhere. As a 20 year old copilot getting a job on a Lear (after passing the ATP, and the aircraft type rating), getting shit thrown at you every day by experienced Captains (who only want you to learn) until the point at which you get selected for Captaincy. You’ve worked so hard, you’ve dedicate your entire life to that moment and what it means beyond.

To have that cut short is absolutely devastating, it’s a brutal, one chance only world, get it wrong once and there are no second chances.

So before you post about a 20 year old female pilot being in such a position ask yourself what you’d done by 20? Ask yourself how your friends and family would feel tonight.

Above all, leave it to the investigators to work it out.

[Bob Allen @CaptBob_Nomadic]

I’ve had a number of messages asking to comment on the Lear crash. I’ve learned who the crew was, I did not know them, but I’m going to give them the respect and reverence they should be given. They were two young pilots out there doing what they loved to do.
I also agree with everything Adam is saying here. I’m sick of the constant flow of negativity every time a female or minority is involved in an accident or incident. It’s too bad people are allowed to hide behind anonymous usernames.

[Turbine Traveller @Turbinetraveler]

This is co-pilot Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras taking off in the very Learjet 60 N722BD that crashed yesterday at Greenacres, Palm Beach County, Florida. The 20-year-old aviator earned her private pilot's license at just 17, before even getting her driver's license. She clearly loved aviation from a young age.

Gone far too soon. Ride with the angels, Nathalia.
