Skipper Gaurav Taneja, a famous Youtuber, tweeted on June 14 that he has been suspended via AirAsia India “for going to bat for safe tasks of an airplane and its travelers”. On June 15, he posted a nitty-gritty video on YouTube named “Purposes for suspension from my pilot work”.

Taneja claimed in the video that the carrier has requested that its pilots do 98 percent of arrivals in the “Fold 3” mode, which permits it to spare fuel.
