Over the past few weeks, the image of India’s largest airline by market share, IndiGo, has taken a hard knock because of a slew of abrupt cancellations, which have angered passengers and drawn flak on social media.
The budget carrier has blamed the cancellations on curtailment of operations at the country’s two major airports, Mumbai and Bangalore, but industry analysts claim IndiGo has mishandled its capacity-addition plans and failed to ensure adequate crew numbers.
The airline’s officials, however, expressed confidence that things were under control and its expansion plans would stay on course. They admitted there was a “slight mismatch” between the projected and the actual availability of pilots, especially commanders, but said things would stabilize by April, Business Standard reports.
IndiGo’s current woes may be traced to its acquisition of Airbus A320neo aircraft. Last year its Pratt and Whitney engines developed problems and many aircraft had to be grounded.
This increased the bench strength and the employee wage bill, as the airline had to continue paying for an underutilized crew. So it stopped hiring pilots.
However, once problems with the Airbus A320neo were fixed and the supply resumed, the budget airline did not have enough pilots to fly them.
It is currently adding one aircraft a week and existing pilots are being made to fly extra hours. Some have even quit because of the extra workload.
Poaching commanders from rival airlines has also become difficult as they need to serve a notice period of one year. So the only course left is to hire pilots from overseas, especially Latin America and West Asia, where pilots are facing job losses.
But inducting expatriate pilots takes time as they have to secure various clearances from security agencies and the pilots have to undergo various tests conducted by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation.
The budget airline hopes to induct 100 expat pilots and upgrade 200 of its first officers to mitigate the shortage.

En mi modelo antiguo, a pesar de que soy muy cuidadoso con todos mis equipos, el conector del cargador se rompió (me parece extremadamente débil para un equipo de gama alta”) y me dieron un presupusto de reparación desorbitado. En cambio, en el nuevo equipo, el Boton del touchpad esta desgastado después de 2 meses!!! He escrito al servicio de atención al cliente y me han contestado que efectivamente el desgaste es grande, pero que no me entraría en garantía porque no saben si el uso que le he dado ha sido el adecuado (claro, no tengo otra cosa que hacer que frotar una tecla durante dos meses para ver si sale el genio). Para tu regocijo, después de leer tu comentario he decidido no comprar un Vaio.
Pensamos que la estrechez no está en el Acuerdo General de la Habana, sino en la visión que el gobierno tiene sobre las causas y consecuencias de la confrontación. Hoy 18 de octubre 2012 en Oslo (Noruega) y como jefe único del equipo negociador oficial del gobierno colombiano para la segunda fase del acuerdo pactado en la Habana, quedó claro nuevamente su papel de demoledor de acuerdos” que le señala Álvaro Leiva. LA HABANA / ANNCOL / OCTUBRE 19 / Con la instalación de la mesa de diálogo en las afueras de Oslo, comenzó el proceso de paz que desarrollarán las FARC-EP y el gobierno de Colombia. Pero pienso que ahora hay tareas más importantes para hacer en Colombia y en el mundo también.

Cuando me refiero al filtro super crema es al que lleva la Minimoka CM-1 22 que es para capsulas tipo ESE, con ese si hago un cafe echando cafe para 1 taza sale con crema y en cambio con el cacillo que viene para las dos tazas y que según el manual es para el cafe molido independientemente si hace una taza dos sólo depende de la cantidad de café que le eches, con ese cacillo (filtro no sale nada de crema) y antes hacia el café con suficiente crema.
