financialexpress.com/business/airlines-aviation-curtailed-schedule-helps-vistara-cut-down-cancellations-3446867/

Quick Glance: Airline Pilot Crisis

The pilot crisis at Vistara has resulted in numerous flight cancellations and significant delays, potentially damaging the reputation of a premium airline in India.

The core issue stems from a new wage agreement that reduces pilots' flying hours from 70 to 40 per month, leading to substantial pay cuts.

The Indian aviation sector faces a recurring shortage of staff, and Vistara's problems are not unique but rather a common issue in the industry.

A concerted effort to address these underlying issues is crucial to prevent a recurrence of the problems affecting pilots.

nydailynews.com/2024/03/25/boeing-ceo-dave-calhoun-resignation/

Quick Glance: Implications of Boeing CEO's Resignation on Aircraft Manufacturer

Dave Calhoun, the CEO of Boeing, is set to resign by the end of the year, with additional top executives leaving the company amidst safety concerns tarnishing its reputation following an incident involving an Alaska Airlines 737 Max in January.

It is emphasized that most Boeing aircraft remain safe, but only time will reveal whether the restructuring in the corporate leadership leads to tangible positive changes.

Implementing a cultural shift in a vast company like Boeing can prove to be a complex task, particularly for the incoming CEO tasked with rebuilding the company's image.

Despite thorough investigations and changes at the helm of Boeing, it is crucial to highlight that the company's airplanes are safe and continue to be maintained by dedicated professionals to ensure safety in the aviation industry.

Boeing to 787 pilots: Your seats might move mid-flight: The warning came after a flight took a nosedive when cockpit seats slid forward

Quick Glance: Boeing advises airlines to check pilot seats after accidental shift incident

Boeing is advising airlines to inspect switches on pilots’ seats in its 787 Dreamliner jets after an accidental cockpit seat movement likely led to a sudden plunge of a LATAM Airlines plane.

The Federal Aviation Administration stated that the Boeing memo was issued in response to the incident on LATAM Flight 800.

A flight attendant in the cockpit is said to have hit a switch on the back of a seat while serving a meal, pushing the pilot into the plane's controls.

Boeing recommends airlines to ensure the switches are securely covered during flights and has provided instructions on how to turn off power to the seat motor.

Quick Glance: Etihad Airways Prepares for Potential IPO: CEO

Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways has returned to profit and is enhancing transparency, governance, and balance sheet to be IPO-ready if the sovereign wealth fund owner decides to list it, according to CEO Antonoaldo Neves.

The UAE carrier posted net profits for 2022 and 2023 after facing significant losses since 2016.

Etihad is owned by Abu Dhabi wealth fund ADQ, which has been listing various holdings since 2022 to diversify the emirate's economy, deepen capital markets, and stimulate investment.

Etihad is focusing on increasing efficiency, cutting unprofitable routes, and reactivating grounded aircraft to drive profits, while aiming to triple passengers and double its fleet by 2030 through the 'Journey 2030' program.
