Searching goodness in prevailing common sense around...

[Griffin @6ESinger157593]

Indian social media accounts often get excited when an passenger aircraft performs a go-around, with instant judgments passed on pilots by people who may not even understand what a go-around is — a normal, safety-driven maneuver in aviation.

But how often do we apply the same level of scrutiny to other professions we trust with our lives?

Before visiting a doctor, how many people ask:

Has the doctor been screened for mental health conditions that could affect professional performance?

Are doctors subject to alcohol testing?

Are there random drug tests?

Is there a periodic criminal background verification process?

Is the doctor periodically screened for communicable diseases?

Is every decision, action, and communication reviewed after each patient interaction?

When was the doctor last formally assessed for knowledge, competence, and proficiency by an independent regulator?

In aviation, these are not hypothetical questions. Airline pilots operate under rigorous oversight. They undergo medical examinations, mental health evaluations, recurrent training, simulator checks, proficiency tests, regulatory audits, background verification, substance-abuse rules, and continuous monitoring throughout their careers.

Before rushing to sensationalize aviation events or judge airline pilots without context, it is worth understanding the extraordinary standards of accountability the profession already operates under.

Is safeguarding India’s forex reserves only the responsibility of ordinary citizens?

When the Reserve Bank of India reportedly spends a record USD 43 billion in a year defending the Rupee, while individuals remain bound by the USD 250,000 Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS) limit, how should the public interpret corporate mechanisms enabling USD 293 million in overseas legal settlements?

This includes the recent USD 275 million OFAC sanctions settlement and USD 18 million SEC civil settlement involving the Adani Group.

If individuals face strict controls on foreign exchange outflows, but large corporate legal liabilities abroad can be settled through substantial forex movements, an important question arises:

Are India’s capital conservation principles being applied uniformly, or are global corporate imperatives being afforded greater flexibility than domestic capital preservation?

Two Indian pilots dead of cardiac arrest in 24 hours. Both "within DGCA limits." India's CAR allows 60 hrs/week duty. WHO/ILO mortality threshold: 55 hrs. The regulator's own files show why "limits" ≠ "safe." https://t.co/spYYrLiHTg @MoCA_GoI @DGCAIndia @icao @In_Alpa @PMOIndia

@CaptShaktiLumba Woww global salary also

[JagjitSandhu @JSSAssal]

@abhilashtomy This practice is unsafe from unlawful intervention concerns.

[JagjitSandhu @JSSAssal]

@CaptShaktiLumba 🙏🏽 wish you both a very good health Sir!

🎩 The Great Pilot Magic Trick ✨

Just comparing numbers. Nothing else.

December 2025 (Airbus pilots) with
January 2026:
• That’s +43 captains and +87 first officers in ONE month.

No upgrade cycle fits this timeline.
No training pipeline runs this fast.

Yet — abracadabra — the numbers appear.

What’s more curious?
Not a whisper from ardent critics.
Not a murmur from “anti-government” media.
No questions. No scrutiny.

Pilots don’t materialise by magic.
Silence doesn’t either.

Something here is… strange.

@OfficialGMDA @DC_Gurugram @MunCorpGurugram @CAQM_Official @CPCB_OFFICIAL Great initiative. Should be done immediately

A MUST READ: A career in aviation may seem worlds apart from gig-economy work, but this pilot’s essay traces the surprising parallels & why there is brewing unrest among his ilk and why people assumed to be earning big pay cheques don’t feel well-paid at all and are increasingly frustrated with the way the industry is shaping up.

@jagritichandra @CaptShaktiLumba Thanks for sharing.

[JagjitSandhu @JSSAssal]

@KaptainPetrovs Appeared to be confused reporting. Holding is not landing attempt.

@DjokovicFan_ Agree! It’s lazy and unwise parenting to follow the herd mindset. Smart parenting is thinking ahead maneuvering kids growth through all the clouds. Once they mature they are free to decide God or devillaa..

[JagjitSandhu @JSSAssal]

@KaptainPetrovs @CaptShaktiLumba Existing airlines couldn’t add more routes or planes. They been busy strangling crew only. The real fight is quality and standards not merely marketing or control via regulations

[JagjitSandhu @JSSAssal]

@OneMileataTime @CaptShaktiLumba They pay double and even triple for trips when called… woww

[JagjitSandhu @JSSAssal]

@CaptShaktiLumba First they should raise the salary.

[JagjitSandhu @JSSAssal]

@27saurabhsinha @airindia @IndiGo6E @CaptShaktiLumba First they should retain the existing ones. Then they should rationalize the training cost of cadets. That is the way forward.

[JagjitSandhu @JSSAssal]

@jagritichandra That is cool
