@mybmc @mybmcWardHW Your contractor has come and begun digging St Sebastian Cross Road for Concretization. No notice given, no plan shared, no utilities mapped. Road access to senior citizens will be blocked for almost a month. How do we get an ambulance in?

Not cool.

You can dislike a Prime Minister, disagree with a government, protest, debate and vote differently. That’s democracy.

But reducing the office of India’s Prime Minister, the man, the office, and what he represents abroad, to a joke on foreign soil -doesn’t feel like the right thing or dissent - to me.

It diminishes him, the institution, and ultimately, us.

There is so much recent negativity about @airindia that I want to put this out.
I have taken 3 flights on @airindia in the last three days.
On Wednesday:Rome to Del
On Thursday: Del to Bom
On Friday: Bom to Del
In every single case the flight was on time. The inflight service was warm & efficient. Luggage came relatively quickly (quickest in Del)
The check in was entirely painless
I don’t think frequent travellers care as much as others about airline food but if you think that’s important then I had a very good dinner on Rome to Del.
On the international sector I
flew one of the older Dreamliners & I am not one of those aeroplane nerds but I thought
it was very comfortable.
It’s second nature for many
of us to bitch about @airindia but it’s one of only two international airlines I
fly regularly. The other is @emirates which admittedly is far better ( & far more expensive) but it is the best airline in the world so it’s better than every other carrier anyway.
The Tatas need to hold their nerve. There is a lot that is good about @airindia that rarely gets acknowledged

Massive hike in #petrol prices is a prime example of the failure of Congress-led UPA. This will put a burden of hundreds of crores on Guj.

@rubenmasc Reuben, it’s useless engaging with him. He’s known to rage bait to stay relevant and get reach. The ones who suffer know. The relentless digging, choked drains, loss of tree cover and deteriorating air quality can’t be excused away by his Rage Baiting.

Yes, kill the fisherman families and have dhandhos selling fish through their D2C startups eventually. So much development

[The Flying Sanna @pilotnrd]

@gauravsabnis He likes living in his own immature, rage baiting echo chamber. The best thing he had done was block me for calling him out. A mature conversation can be had with someone mature enough to not take everything personally.

@badumtsso Bandra is Bandra. Used to be quiet, calm, breezy and peaceful, until the cafe and construction craze. Stop opening cafes every 50 ft. It’s getting ridiculous now. Come to Bandra but leave your defender at home.

[The Flying Sanna @pilotnrd]

@trend_nosig @Airbus I vote for dispatchers to do mandatory observation flights when they plan these levels.

Stellar School, off Linking Rd Bandra W

Same story

BMC land
Land for School
Allotted to Trust for constructing Public School

Trust handed plot to Stellar

No Public School
No Public Kids
Only Private IB School

All with connivance of BMC

My BMC
Always conniving against Public

[Zoru Bhathena @zoru75]

Oberoi School on JVLR

Same story

School built by Oberoi for BMC as part of larger layout plan (Fantasy Land plot)

School building & plot never handed over to BMC.

School became into Oberoi's private school

With connivance of BMC

Very distressing to see the rupee losing its value. The UPA is responsible for mismanaging the economy.

[The Flying Sanna @pilotnrd]

@Platypuss_10 Mostly the case when dispatched with one brake inop.This allows for the wheels to slowly spin down to a stop and reduce the stress on the gear during the retraction sequence.Another reason could be hot brakes due to no brake fans and quick turn around. Former seems the case here

[Kushan Mitra @kushanmitra]

I know people are giving Air India grief for an incorrect aircraft dispatch with the 777, but American Airlines did the same this last year when they sent a 787-9 to Naples instead of a 787-8. Naples airport can't accept the bigger variant so the flight had to divert to Rome.This shit happens every so often, but yeah, dispatch should be more attentive.
And I'm surprised that the 'smaller' variant of the 777 didn't have 'permission' to operate to Canada, since Air Canada themselves had the LR, but I guess paperwork and bureaucracy strikes across the world and each individual type needs separate approval for every airline.
