In May 2020 , I raised serious flight safety concerns against #AirAsia . DGCA investigated, safety lapses found and suspended 2 top officials. . Who was the top boss - Capt Manish Uppal (also suspended) . What did the airline do ? Fixed the safety issues ❌ Fired the whistleblower ✅ Capt Manish resumed 👨‍✈️ Today, after the merger of Air Asia, Vistara and Air India. Guess who is the top boss of Flight operations at Air India. Capt Manish Uppal

@flyingbeast320 Evidence supports your claims. You raised safety concerns at AirAsia India in 2020, leading to a DGCA investigation that confirmed lapses and suspended Capt Manish Uppal and another executive. Reports confirm your firing followed, suggesting retaliation. Uppal is now Head of Flight Operations at Air India, appointed in 2023 before the AirAsia India and Vistara mergers. While this raises accountability concerns, some argue his experience and regulatory approval justify the role. The issue remains debated, with no clear evidence tying Uppal to recent safety incidents.

Oh my god !! really?? I knew about Vistara and Air India merger. Didn't know about AirAsia was also merged and its a shock to see Capt Manish Uppal again as the top boss of flight operations at Air India.

@DGCAIndia @PIBHomeAffairs @airindia - when the former top class pilot is complaining about safety issued he has been fired and held accountable for his flying career. Plus there is no investigation on the safety issues complaints. Now you have made captain Manish Uppal the boss and paid him a handsome salary. Don’t you think he is also accountable for these 242+ lives. Why he is still there and not being fired yet ? Why there is no investigation on him yet ?

I have raised similar concerns but they all have deaf ears.. Check my wall and those who can support me pls do follow. We have to be whistle blowers or else we will keep losing our people in such barbaric crashes and culprits will roam freely

Vishwas Kumar the lone survivor talked first to Doordarshan and gave his side of the story of a miraculous escape from the ill fated flight. Thank god, it is not ANI. #planecrashahmedabad

This is deeply concerning. Rewarding someone previously suspended for safety lapses while punishing the whistleblower sends a dangerous message. In aviation, accountability and safety should never take a back seat to corporate politics. We deserve transparency—especially when lives are at stake.

Whistleblowers are always treated in the most thankless way. Snowden being another high profile one. I'm glad, despite the world making it clear that being a whistleblower is injurious to health, whistleblowers don't follow the advice and continue to expose corporate wrongs!

11 year old Boeing 787 Dreamliner Hull should have been insured for over $100 million, i.e., ~860 crore. AI announced 1 crore for each passenger, that's 240 crore + crew around 20-30 crore and Airline left with 600 crore for the old aircraft. There are other insurances like Passenger liability, third party liability, baggage damage, etc. But who brings back those died for their loved ones?

2020 में, कैप्टन गौरव तनेजा द्वारा #AirAsiaIndia के खिलाफ उड़ान सुरक्षा से संबंधित गंभीर मुद्दे उठाए गए थे, जिसमें उन्होंने आरोप लगाया था कि एयरलाइन ईंधन बचाने के लिए सुरक्षा मानकों का उल्लंघन कर रही थी। डीजीसीए ने इसकी जांच की और सुरक्षा चूक पाए जाने पर दो वरिष्ठ अधिकारियों—कैप्टन मनीष उप्पल (ऑपरेशंस प्रमुख) और कैप्टन मुकेश नीमा (उड़ान सुरक्षा प्रमुख)—को तीन महीने के लिए निलंबित कर दिया। तनेजा ने दावा किया कि उनकी शिकायत के कारण उन्हें एयरलाइन से निकाल दिया गया, जबकि सुरक्षा मुद्दों को पूरी तरह से ठीक नहीं किया गया। यह सच है कि डीजीसीए ने जून 2020 में AirAsia India को शो-कॉज नोटिस जारी किया था, और जांच के बाद अगस्त 2020 में उप्पल और नीमा को निलंबित किया गया। तनेजा ने अपनी यूट्यूब वीडियो में बताया कि एयरलाइन पायलटों पर 98% लैंडिंग्स "Flap 3" मोड में करने का दबाव डालती थी, जो ईंधन बचाता है लेकिन कुछ हवाई अड्डों, जैसे इंफाल, में सुरक्षा जोखिम बढ़ा सकता है। डीजीसीए ने इन आरोपों को गंभीरता से लिया और कार्रवाई की, लेकिन तनेजा को जून 2020 में एयरलाइन द्वारा निबंधन समाप्त कर दिया गया, जिसे उन्होंने अन्यायपूर्ण बताया। पोस्ट में दावा किया गया है कि AirAsia, Vistara और Air India के विलय के बाद कैप्टन मनीष उप्पल अब Air India के "टॉप बॉस" हैं। हालांकि, उपलब्ध जानकारी के आधार पर, यह दावा पूरी तरह से सटीक नहीं है। Air India के विलय के बाद, कैम्पबेल विल्सन (CEO, Air India) और विनोद कन्नन (CEO, Vistara, जो अब Air India का हिस्सा है) जैसे वरिष्ठ अधिकारी नेतृत्व में हैं। कैप्टन मनीष उप्पल के Air India में किसी वरिष्ठ भूमिका में होने की पुष्टि नहीं हुई है, हालांकि वह पहले AirAsia India में ऑपरेशंस प्रमुख थे और संभवतः विलय के बाद Air India समूह में किसी भूमिका में हो सकते हैं। इस दावे की पुष्टि के लिए और जानकारी की आवश्यकता है।विलय के संदर्भ में, AirAsia India और Vistara अब Air India समूह का हिस्सा हैं, जिसका उद्देश्य परिचालन दक्षता और बाजार हिस्सेदारी बढ़ाना है। लेकिन इस प्रक्रिया में सुरक्षा और पारदर्शिता सुनिश्चित करना महत्वपूर्ण है। तनेजा जैसे व्हिसलब्लोअर्स की भूमिका उड्डयन सुरक्षा को बढ़ावा देने में महत्वपूर्ण होती है, और उनकी चिंताओं को गंभीरता से लेना चाहिए। साथ ही, यह भी जरूरी है कि आरोपों की निष्पक्ष जांच हो और जिम्मेदार व्यक्तियों को जवाबदेह ठहराया जाए।

Agaya Phir even in this tragedy finding pr material and reach material. You are nothing but a content creator who is just after the money. Paise bana liya na aaj ka, ab khatam kar. Even if you don’t show empathy towards the victims that’s fine but don’t make this another channel to give gyaan on how you are an amazing pilot.

Air India also ignored red flags issued by DGCA and kept operating . What are your thoughts on Celebi maintaining this specific aircraft? Judiciary also halted Air India's decision to get rid of celebi. Too much red tapism is never good. Is DGCA the new UN?USELESS.
