DGCA Punishes Rogue Check Pilot
Remember that check pilot we wrote about yesterday? The one who yanked off a circuit breaker to test the pilot?
He’s being “tested” now, by Airline regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). In fact, the Jet Airways senior pilot who pulled the circuit breaker stunt is now suspended.
The pilots had no way to tell how close they were to the ground. Luckily they landed safely.
Ironically, the injured parties (the commander and co-pilot) have also been derostered.
Pilot exercises are supposed to be performed in a simulator, not in a full plane engaging in a commercial flight.

On August 9, 2012 at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, two months after the June 3, 2012 crash, after that all possible DNA testing was complete (only 52 of 149 bodies identified, the rest burnt beyond testability,) the Lagos Government announced that it would release bodies of Dana crash victims to the next of kin.
Families were requested to contact the Funeral Director’s office on 01-8542254 at the teaching hospital 24 hours before they come to claim the bodies.
One family trying to claim their loved one, Mr. George Moses, found he is missing. He was #22 on the list of 29 identified names at the Lekan Ogunsola Memorial mortuary in June. Mr. Achief Olajide, a family member said that after the June 3 crash, he saw Moses intact body, his ID card and wallet. The mortuary refused to let him claim the body, and now it is lost.
