<br />DELHI-AHMEDABAD PASSENGER<br />SHARES'UNUSUAL ISSUES' ON PLANE<br />THAT LATER CRASHED<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Truly heartbreaking. My deepest condolences to all those affected.<br /><br />I recently flew Virgin Atlantic’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner from London to Delhi, and unfortunately got the same aircraft on Etihad Airways from Abu Dhabi to New York though I always prefer Airbus but the Dreamliner experience was flawless both ways, from the cabin comfort to the smooth journey.<br /><br />While I’m not rushing to judge or place blame on Air India/Boeing for the recent tragedy, it’s hard to ignore the long-standing concerns all over social media.. ranging from worn-out seats and quality food to poor in-flight entertainment and ticketing issues. <br /><br />Clearly, there’s a deeper problem with the airline’s and the manufacturer maintenance and overall service standards.<br /><br />Before I used to fly peace of mind but after watching several air crash investigations I’m always scared of - <br />1) Flap settings on wings <br />2) TakeOff & Rotate velocity V1/V2 which depends on aircraft weight, etc<br /><br />Sad about aviation safety.
