>The aircraft, registered as VT-EHH, was a Boeing 737-2A8F from the Baby Boeing family. Delivered to Indian Airlines in 1982, it later operated with Alliance Air before Air India converted it into a freighter in 2007.>It flew with India Post titles but was grounded at Kolkata Airport in 2012. Instead of being sold, scrapped, or parted out, the jet sat idle in a remote corner of the airfield and disappeared from the airline's fixed-asset documentation.>Kolkata Airport officials eventually contacted Air India to request the removal of the abandoned jet.>This prompted a detailed internal check that confirmed the aircraft had been omitted from multiple documents for years.>Air India CEO Campbell Wilson informed staff that, in the years leading up to privatization, VT-EHH was repeatedly left out of internal records.>As a result, the aircraft did not factor into the valuation during the Tata Group acquisition. Before privatization, the carrier did not maintain the kind of structured fixed-asset registers that well-run airlines use to track depreciation, parking charges, insurance liability, and maintenance cycles.https://archive.ph/cYDOd

>>2059558From when 737 had vehicle-appropriate engines under their wings and were an appropriate size for the design.Probably lots safer than a new one.
>>2059558these things happenKuala Lumpur airport auctioned off several 747s in the 2010s because whoever owned them wasn't paying parking fees
>>2059687the al-Zutt hadith is rated sahih by Musnad Ahmad, Achmedit's over
>>2059745>>2059558how? surely someone passes by it parked somewhere and eventually goes "why is this thing never in the air, who even owns this"
I'm visiting India rn and the difference between the level of air travel conduct in North and South cannot be overstated. On my flight from Canada it was all Punjabis and it was fucking chaos. They didn't care if you had your belt buckled, kids wandering everywhere, no sense of personal space, people playing music from their phone. But I had to get a connecting flight down south and it was completely different. Well-dressed, polite people, minding their own business, actually apologising in decent English if they need to get into the aisle or step on your shoe or something. The whole Gangetic plain gives this subcontinent such a bad rap
>>2061118Now compare the experience of working with north Indians vs. south Indians. I'm from Brampton and I've worked with a lot of difficult people from different backgrounds, from Guyanese to Jamaicans to rednecks from rural Ontario and crackheads from Kennedy and Queen, but average Punjabis make the absolute worst colleagues, bar none
>>2060587Fees get paid, no one questions.
>>2061141aye fair enough. but even parking lots will boot your car if you just leave it there for weeks on end even if you pay daily
>>2061141>Going for the banana gets us all hosed, and we don't even need to get hosed anymore because we stop the impetus in its tracks>Heh, stupid monkeys.
