Skilled yes, but apparently concealing a mental health issue. This is a huge cultural issue in aviation. Nobody wants to lose their job, so you just bury it.
There’s absolutely no proof that these Pilots were suicidal. I think speculation of such is disrespectful until further evidence shows such things such as in the case of MH 370 which is highly speculated with a lot of evidence to be a pilot suicide.
I’m not the person you replied to and I’m not familiar with India’s certificate process, but the FAA is a stickler about mental health - even for a PPL on a class 3. It doesn’t matter if you’re getting treatment or not. The fact that you have any history of mental illness is huge. It seems really fucking stupid to me, especially if you are getting help.
I hope to god indias certificate procedures aren’t as ridiculous as the FAA
Unfortunately I have bad news for you A lot of the time these countries are worse when it comes to Mental Health in the FAA.
I try to get a simple recreational pilot license that they got very upset with my history of anxiety. I’d have to get reevaluated every 6 months by a state psychologist on my own dime continue to fly.
Still there there’s not any evidence indicating any sort of mental health history. Like the pilot of MH370 supposedly lost all of his money and a bunch of bad trades. Not only that they found the exact flight the plane seems to have taken on the dude’s personal simulator.
Before we judge this to be a suicide let’s at least wait to hear about the Pilot’s personal lives and what conditions they were in.
I do get where so many people are coming from in this but it is so disrespectful to the pilots and their families to just immediately assume that this is a suicide when there’s not even good speculative evidence for it
All evidence points to a deliberate toggling of the fuel cutoff switches, and whoever did it then denied they did anything on CVR. It’s not an issue with the plane itself, this is either someone deliberately crashing the plane or someone absentmindedly crashing the plane.
You’re right, I can’t say the motive. The evidence points to an intentional cutoff by one of the pilots, however. Maybe it’s an accident, maybe it’s deliberate.
It has nothing to do with their race so fuck off with the racism accusation. I never said a single thing regarding their race or culture, so don’t accuse me of such things.
There are redundant systems on modern planes that can handle multiple failures. If they’re saying it’s fuel related my guess is dirty jet fuel. It would explain a stuck fuel valve. There’s lots of ground crew checks before flight, and one is checking the fuel tanks for contamination. Just a speculation.
These switches are evidently monitored by the aircraft’s systems, as the investigators seem to know for a fact when these switches were moved. This is not a “failure”, unless the switch moved by itself.
I’m not sure why you’re trying to “I reckon” this, when we know why the engines stopped.
Apparently they need to be pulled to change their orientation, I’m wondering if the mechanism simply wore out?
Not likely. These things are checked before every flight.
Dude. It’s Air India.

Never take Air India.
If that does not take away from the fact that these Pilots were very well skilled.
If the company is at fault it’s due to over scheduling since preliminary report indicates no mechanical failures.

I am also declining to speculate - just hoping to add some context about mental health and the FAA.

Really, there’s evidence that the switch was purposely flipped to commit suicide?
I didn’t see that in the report.
Tell you what.
Why don’t you take this as an opportunity to prove to everyone that you’re not baselessly slandering these pilots.
Support this opinion with a quote from some sort of evidence.
Because otherwise you look like a racist dick.

Pretty sure if you want to off yourself you’d do it differently
