Pilot's faux pas foxes passengers on IndiGo Delhi-Kolkata flight

Addressing passengers on flight 6E 203 prior to departure captain Srikant Patel introduced himself first officer Pankul Nag and the cabin crew over the public address system and then welcomed everyone on board to Mumbai .

 Even as the announcement was greeted by incredulous gasps the captain went on to speak about the weather in Mumbai and wished the fliers a pleasant stay in maximum city .

 When the buzz grew loud with passengers wanting to know if they had boarded the wrong aircraft a flight attendant stepped in and assured them that the flight was indeed going to Kolkata .

 A faux pas by the captain of an IndiGo flight to Kolkata from Delhi on Friday afternoon left fliers confused the cabin crew fumbling for an excuse and industry experts raising security concerns .

When the cabin crew alerted the captain about the mistake he unapologetically announced that the plane would fly to Kolkata and then Nagpur and finally Mumbai .

The captain goof up and the manner in which he then attempted to set the record straight not only left the fliers exasperated but also raised questions about his alertness .

A captain of a private airline said a mistake such as this is extremely unusual as pilots are required to prepare for a flight destination and not simply slip into the cockpit .

It appears the captain had other things in his mind . Perhaps the thought of returning home to Mumbai was overbearing . But it is something a pilot should be very wary of as he has to be absolutely alert when taking charge of an aircraft and 150 plus lives the experienced pilot said .

 A commander of state-owned Air India found it odd that the co-pilot did not correct the captain in the first place. "It either points to the copilot's lack of attention or that there wasn't good communication between the two.When a pilot is domineering, a co-pilot may refuse to speak up. That is extremely unhealt hy in a flight situation where he is supposed to draw the captain's attention if he makes a mistake," the pilot said.

Indigo president Aditya Ghosh, who is out of India, said he would personally speak to the pilot on his return. "It appears to be an inadvertent error, but shoudn't have happened. Safety is our foremost concern," he said.Indigo has a sticker on the door of all its aircraft cockpits: "Flying is a serious profession; do not carry your worries beyond this point." Did captain Patel ignore the advisory on Friday?

Breaking news .....Korea missile test successful ....

 

               North Korea rocket launch

The announcement of talks over the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence THAAD came just hours after North Korea announced that it had successfully put a new Earth observation satellite into orbit . North Korea adversaries believe the real purpose of the launch was to test a ballistic missile just one month after its fourth nuclear test .

The launch of a long range rocket by North Korea has heightened tensions in north east Asia and pushed South Korea and the US into talks on the deployment of a controversial high altitude missile defence system that China and Russia both bitterly oppose .

Following an emergency meeting on Sunday night the United Nations Security Council condemned the rocket launch and said it would soon adopt a new sanctions resolution in response .

 A statement said that launches using ballistic missile technology even if characterised as a satellite launch or space launch vehicle contribute to North Korea development of systems to deliver nuclear weapons .

 It added that using ballistic missile technology was a violation of four Security Council resolutions dating back to 2006 .

The launch was widely condemned including by the British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond who said North Korea actions continue to present a threat to regional and international security . But China and Russia both stressed the importance of finding a diplomatic solution .

If deployed THAAD would usher in a new era of Star Wars in north east Asia . South Koreans have long been lukewarm about US insistence on the need to deploy multibillion dollar missile launchers capable of shooting down enemy missiles hurtling more than 100 miles overhead .

One of South Korea's objections has been concern about offending Beijing, which has repeatedly expressed alarm about THAAD and its potential for use against China.

But China's tepid response to North Korea's fourth underground nuclear test on 6 January as well as this weekend's missile launch has convinced South Korea's President Park Geun-hye of the need for strong measures, and South Korea and the US said they would seek to deploy the system "at the earliest possible date".

China expressed "regret" over the launch, saying North Korea had "ignored universal opposition of the international community". While North Korea "should have the right to the peaceful use of space", an official Chinese response said, "this right is limited by the United Nations Security Council resolutions."

Analysts saw that statement as a pro forma reaction that indicated China would not support calls in the United Nations for strengthening current sanctions - or, indeed, for enforcing the sanctions already in place after the previous missile launch in 2012 and after North Korean nuclear tests in 2006, 2009 and 2013.

"Nothing's going to happen," said Tom Coyner, a Seoul-based business consultant. "The debate in the UN will go nowhere. Nobody will do anything."

Ms Park reflected South Korean outrage as well as frustration, declaring that North Korea had "committed an unacceptable provocation of launching a long-range missile after conducting a fourth nuclear test" and demanding that the UN Security Council "quickly come up with strong sanctions."

South Korea's Foreign Minister, Yun Byung-se, said he might go to New York to try to drum up support at the UN. He also planned to talk on the phone to the US Secretary of State, John Kerry, and Japan's Foreign Minister, Fumio Kishida.

In North Korea, the launch was met with praise, with the National Aerospace Development Administration, describing "the fascinating vapour of Juche satellite trailing in the clear and blue sky". It said the launch was timed to coincide with the 16 February birthday of its former "Dear Leader" Kim Jong-il.

Japan threatened fresh retaliation against North Korea over the rocket, which flew over Okinawa in Japan's far south-west, triggering a military alert.

"We absolutely cannot allow this," Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said. "We will take action to protect the safety and well-being of our people." Mr Abe said he had instructed his staff to prepare options for unilateral sanctions, a tacit admission that his government's policy of cautious engagement with the regime of Kim Jong-un has failed. Mr Abe's government deployed destroyers and missile interceptors around Tokyo and on remote islands around Okinawa, in a largely symbolic show of strength against the launch.
