Commentator says Indian pilots face instant blame in air crashes

Original: IF THAT FLYDUBAI PLANE HAD CRASHED… The Indian pilot would have been blamed instantly. Racists would have flooded social

Indian journalist Shiv Aroor argues that if the recent flydubai flight had crashed, the Indian pilot would have been blamed immediately, with racist narratives about 'Indian pilots' spreading online before investigators reached the wreckage. He says Pakistani troll accounts would have amplified such claims. The post drew nearly 30,000 likes, striking a chord with Indian users who feel their aviation professionals are unfairly singled out after incidents involving foreign carriers.

Why now: It taps into ongoing sensitivity in India about unfair stereotyping of Indian pilots after aviation incidents.
