The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP) allegedly launched legal steps through a formal announcement of Wall Street Journal and Reuters on their reports on the Ahmedabad Air India. The organization was also looking for an official apology.
Later, FIP President Cs Randhawa accused two foreign media of not establishing their reports of de facto content while emphasizing a preliminary report on Air India-171 in the field of air accident (AAIB).
Randhawa strongly criticized WSJ and Reuters and blamed them for the “misleading” public and claimed that their reports were not “based on factual content”, the press agency informed or.
“I would completely accuse the Wall Street Journal for deceiving the public. They are based on their own conclusions. They are an investigative body? They speak all these crap around the world. It is not an investigation body and reports are not based on any factual content mentioned in the preliminary report.
Captain Randhawa stated that FIP issued a legal announcement that he was asking them to issue a statement in the press and to provide an explanation of their AAIB preliminary reports.
“We strongly condemn this and we have also issued a legal announcement of Wall Street Journal and Reuters. We clearly said that how can you skip to these conclusions that are not part of the AAIB preliminary message? How can you blame the pilots? “He said.
“And if he doesn’t, then we’ll see another event,” he added.
Captain Randhawa also appreciated the statement of the National Transport Safety Council (NTSB), which rebuked the recent media coverage with a preliminary investigation report.
FIP President said that the NTSB statement will indicate all speculation and accusation of Indian pilots by the Western media to rest.
“We are glad that this report has come from NTSB chairman, because NTSB is also part of the AIIB investigative committee. It is very, very encouraging to know that they have issued this statement that will build all Western media to rest to perform and accuse Indian pilots,” he said.
In her statement, NTSB President Jennifer Homendy urged the public and the media to wait for the official finding of the Air accident investigation (AAIB), which leads the probe into an accident before drawing a conclusion based on a preliminary investigation report.
“Recent media reports on Air India 171 are premature and speculative. The Indian Air Investigation Office has just published its preliminary report. The investigation of this size requires time. We fully support the public appeal of AAIB, which was published on Thursday.
