Air India dismisses crew members over allegations of fabricating crucial data during investigation
Uncensored Assistance:
Hey there! So, it appears that two Air India flight attendants got the axe, and it ain't all sunshine and rainbows, mate. According to some reports, these cabin crew members were given the boot for acting up and fibbing during an investigation - or so says Air India.
The whole shebang started back in May 2020 when an emergency slide popped open after a Boeing 787 Dreamliner door was opened post-landing. After a Mumbai-London flight touched down at Heathrow, bam! Emergency slide!
Now, these former Air India flight attendants alleged that the door had malfunctioned because the slide raft deployed, despite being opened manually. But Air India says the slide couldn't have activated unless the door was in the wrong mode. They've got a whole buncha evidence to back this up – data, images, videos, and third-party experts.
Air India gave these former employees numerous chances to recant their statements, but those statements seem to have held firm. The airline's uneasy about the ex-cabin crew members exploiting the tragic AI171 crash to spread their lies.
As for the cockpit voice recorder and digital flight data recorder from the AI171 crash, no decision's been made yet on sending them abroad for further analysis. The Ministry of Civil Aviation's requested that everyone keeps their trap shut and let the investigation proceed without all the noise.
But ol' rumor mill's been churning about these flight attendants getting fired over a cover-up. They refused to hush up about a technical glitch on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, and Air India responded by giving them the old heave-ho. Sounds fishy, doesn't it? A few whistleblowers have even spoken out, calling for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into Air India's shady business with the technical fault and the dismissal of the crew members.
Now, here's where it gets a bit messy. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is involved – rumor has it that these crew members filed complaints with the DGCA, but no concrete results have been announced even eight long months later. This whole situation has folks calling for transparency and demanding answers.
So, there you have it – two Air India flight attendants were let go amid allegations that they were pressured to keep hush about a technical glitch on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner in May 2020, and they got booted after resisting such pressure.
