Air India Pilot Captain Smriti Trehan faces the sack after refusing to Fly direct Flight to Delhi as she'd arranged to pick up her favourite Kachori En Route





An Air India pilot faces suspension after ignoring last-minute orders to change flights because she had arranged to pick up her favourite snack Kachori along her original route.
Captain Smriti Trehan refused to switch her scheduled Mumbai-Jodhpur-Delhi flight to a later direct flight between Mumbai and Delhi, according to reports.
The pilot wanted to fly via Jodhpur, as she had arranged for the city's famous onion kachoris to be delivered to the Airport.

Peckish: Captain Smriti Trehan reportedly refused to switch her scheduled Air India Mumbai-Jodhpur-Delhi flight to a later direct flight between Mumbai and Delhi, as she had planned to stop in Jodhpur to collect food
Trehan, from Delhi, was staying at a Mumbai hotel when she was ordered to change flights, according to the Times of India.
Her original flight had been scheduled for 12pm but she was asked to switch to a 2pm flight.
She ignored the orders and turned up to the airport for her original job, informing operators that she did not intend to change her plans.


Her refusal caused chaos among Air India staff as they scrambled to find a replacement pilot, delaying the Mumbai-Delhi flight by an hour.
Sources said that the pyaz kachoris was successfully delivered to Captain Trehan at Jodhpur airport and she took off for Delhi without delay.
Senior officials were reportedly made aware of the incident, immediately ordering an inquiry.

Shekhar


Dear Fellow Pilots,

I am a Professional Pilot with more then 8  years experience of Flying on 10 different types of Air crafts in 14 different countries with accident free flying record. I started my flying career from Skycabs    [ Colombo ] and worked for many Airlines Training Companies from different parts of the world. 

We have trained more then 350 Pilots who are now flying world wide. I am a member of the Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association [ USA], Royal Society of Aeronautics [ UK], Delhi Flying Club, Aeronautical Society of India, MP Flying Club Indore, Aeronautical Research Society.

I am a frequent flyer on AA, Air India, Air Canada, British Airways, Cathey Pacific, Delta Airlines, Emerites, Ethihad, Jet Airways, Kingfisher and many more. These all Airlines halped me to visit more then 14 different countries. 

I  came back from Canada and London on an Invitation of Govt  of Canada for Mission To Canada.  I am so Thankfull to Mr Vittal of Govt of Canada and Mr  Wayne Gouveia VP of the  Air Transport Association Of Canada  (ATAC)  without whom's lot of help and Guidance  the Mission would not be possible. 

Now something on my personal front:

I like to travel, collect coins and stamps and explore new avenues  and possibilities and turn them to my advantage. For me my friends are my biggest assets.  I still miss my Cow Boy friends and their  hospitility. For me these Cow Boys are more fashionable and Smart  guys then any Airline or corporate Pilots. 

I have a small Farm House [ Asiatic AgroTech Research Center ]  at Gram Gunawad, Dist Dhar Madhya Pradesh India where We grow medicinal plants and herbs. We are also into organic farming (which apparently is the latest fad) of wheat and soyabeans.

I love challenging jobs, that no Pilot would venture into, Flying an Aircraft on a scheduled route daily is just not my cup of tea. Nor can I just sit and make a software for flight simulator like all other software companies make.

I am an explorer by nature and I know it comes with a price but for which I am always willing to pay. I do not fear the unknown but believe riding high on it. 

My upcoming Books

After a little success of AeroSoft as India's Best Aviation SEO services, 
[ As per Altavista, Bing, Hotbot, Google & Yahoo search engines ] With lot of encouragement from my friends and philosophers I have finally made up my mind to write following books with a deadline.

Always remember Takeoff is optional Landing is compulsory


I have been planning to write this Blog for quite some time, 
but each time some or the other reason kept me from flying 
into this part of the Blogging world. 

So now here I am .

I am a Professional Pilot with more then 8  years experience
of Flying on more then 14 different types of Air crafts in 
more then 14 different countries with accident free flying record.  I started my flying career from Skycabs    [ Colombo ] and worked for many Airlines Training Companies from different parts of the world. 
We have trained more then 650 Pilots who are now flying world wide. I am a member of the Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association [ USA],  Royal Society of Aeronautics [ UK], Delhi Flying Club,  Aeronautical Society of India, MP Flying Club Indore,  Aeronautical Research Society. I am a frequent flyer on American Airlines AA, Air India, Air Canada,British Airways, Cathey Pacific, DeltaAirlines, Emerites, 
Ethihad, Jet Airways, Kingfisher and many more.

My most recent passion is Air Aviator a new proposed virtual  
Air Charter Services and Aviation SEO for which I personally 
conduct classes/ lecture series for IIT & IIM students in 
India and others in abroad.  Also We are updating 14 Aviation 
NEWS blogs for many countries.

I  came back from Canada and London on an Invitation of Govt  of Canada for Mission To Canada. I am so Thankfull to Mr Vittal of Govt of Canada and Mr  Wayne Gouveia VP of the  Air Transport  Association Of Canada  (ATAC)  without whom's lot of help and Guidance  the Mission would not be possible. 

I am so excited about our new Indo - French Joint venture
AsiaticAir Air Campus where we are going to trained Pilots
for most mordern A 320 and B 737. India alone has more then 7000 Un Employed Pilots in India and aprox 3000 in other South Asian countries. Out of these 10,000 Pilots our Aim is  just 750 Pilots in next 3 years time frame.  

Now something on my personal front:

I like to travel, Hang Gliding, Para sailing,  collect coins and stamps and explore  new avenues and possibilities and turn them to my  advantage. For me my virtual friends are my biggest assets.

I have a small Farm House [ Asiatic AgroTech Research Center ] at Indore - Ahamdabad National Highway, Gram Gunawad, Dist Dhar  Madhya Pradesh India where We grow medicinal plants and herbs.  We are also into organic farming (which apparently is the latest fad)  of wheat and soyabeans. Organic farming is my big time passion.

I love challenging jobs, that no Pilot would venture into, 
Flying an Aircraft on a scheduled route daily is just not 
my cup of tea. Nor can I just sit and make a software for 
flight simulator like all other Aviation Software companies do.

I am an explorer by nature and I know it comes with a price 
but for which I am always willing to pay. I do not fear the 
unknown but believe riding high on it.
