#AirIndia #pilots unhappy over salary revision. The airline has offered a guaranteed flying allowance equivalent of 40 hours, which used to be 70 hours pre pandemic and was brought down to 20 hours.
Multiple pilots said this in a nut shell: "The DGCA allows a minimum flying of 1,000 hours, which if you calculate leaves and training gives you approximately 72 to 73 hours per month. This has also long been a healthy number of flying hours after which a pilot can take ...(cont)
"a respectable salary home. But, if the airline under-utilises us, and gives us flying only for 40 hours we take home much less than pilots of other airlines and what we were already taking home pre-pandemic. There is also rising inflation to account." (crux of what many said)

With the whole #airindia case coming to light, I cannot truly explain how tired I am of entitled Indian men on flights. On my @emirates flight from Dubai to Delhi, a man asked me to sit in the middle seat, though I had booked and paid for an aisle seat. When I said no, he..contd
He said “aap ladies ho, aap andar baith jao.” Translating to because you are a woman you should sit inside. When I continued to refuse, he said “once I am drunk, then don’t blame me if i am on the middle seat.” He said all of this in Hindi, and while the crew didn’t understand
Everyone around me told them what he was saying. The @emirates staff first tried to tell me to keep sitting there, and when I loudly refused, they asked me to move right in front of the man who said “Dont hold me Accountable for my actions once I am drunk.” All because I wanted..

I ended up paying @airindiain well over 25k INR for one side DEL-BLR for a flight I had originally booked for around 13k INR because of the chaos at Delhi Airport at T3.
Here's what happened:
Here's what happened:
Delhi Airport's jammed with a lot of rush due to holiday season because of which I'd highly recommend reaching much earlier for your domestic or international flight.
I had a 7:30am flight through Air India for which I had reached the check-in counter with my baggage by 6:22, over an hour before the closing time.

He is known for his closeness to the Turkish dictator @RTErdogan's son, Bilal Erdoğan. Since becoming the board chairman of @TurkishAirlines in 2015, he filled it with graduates from Kartal İmam Hatip High School, an Islamic school in Istanbul which Bilal also attended.
Although he went to the prestigious Bilkent University, Ankara and Marmara University, Istanbul, he has no qualification in aviation at all. He was brought to the @TurkishAirlines because of his proximity to the Erdoğan family.

About 75% of the debt has been transferred to a SPV,#AIAHL,before handing over airline to Tata Group
Indian taxpayers will no longer have to pay Rs 20Cr per day,to keep loss making #AirIndia flying,thx to @narendramodi

1/14. A thread on India/China. A rumored but likely authentic notice of #Walmart moving it's "Supplier Enablement Team" from #China to #India has been circulating on Chinese social media. Is this the beginning of business decoupling? A few pointers.
2. First, my understanding is Supplier Enablement team is to help suppliers getting their business efficiently so Walmart has efficiency in its own part of business. It is likely tied to Walmart commitment to source $10 Billion of India-Made Goods Each Year by 2027.
3. But is this a leading event in a significant shift of international businesses moving from China to India? It remains to be seen & an active area of attention. Southeast Asia are the common denominator in many of these supply decisions on the ground.
As @airindiain comes home to family @TataCompanies I was reminded of this brilliant advertising booklet that the airline used to give out to passengers when the world was normal, people could laugh at themselves & unlike today not take offence & outrage at the slightest imagined
insult or slight. Today these 2 booklets would have led to riots inside parliament & someone like even #JRDTata termed as anti-national, being asked to leave the country, heads would have rolled. But back then we were humans with the ability to laugh at the incongruous not idiots
I share the entire booklets in 2 series. This was called #FoolishlyYours & genius admen/ marketers like #BobbyKooka conceived this. The woke leftlib secular idiots would outrage at the plethora of racism while the equally idiotic right would do so on the insult to nationalism.
