Air travel has suddenly become dangerous. There was this Mangalore plane crash a few days back of the flight coming back from Dubai. It appeared to be partly due to pilot error as the record indicates co-pilot warned not to land and urged multiple times to go up and turn back again. The pilot didn’t listen and .. as they say.. the rest is history. 158 people actually.
Now it seems another flight from Dubai to Pune had another brush with extreme danger.
The pilot (Anupam Tiwari) decided to go for a leak and put the plane on auto-pilot. The auto-pilot got disengaged and the co-pilot (are these guys trainees??) couldn’t handle the plane and it plunged 5000 feet into the path of another aircraft before it was brought under control!
It was the Air India Express flight 1X-212 and the plane was Boeing 737-800. There were 112 people on board.

Thats ridiculous. Yeah co-pilots are in their training period before they become pilots. But seems like, these pilots who do stuff like that are just stressed out of too much flying. May be one way to prevent it all from happening is to allow a person fly internationally only once in 15 days and not more than twice a week for national flights. It would surely cut down their huge earnings out of every flight and airlines would have to appoint more pilots but it can save many lives.
Garrimaa – I agree! I would have thought that co-pilots would at least have some training before they are put on those jets. At least how to handle the wheel
Even those useless 9-11 terrorists knew how to handle the plane controls enough to fly correctly.. this co-pilot turned out to be a complete nincompoop!
