Betrayed Kingfisher Airlines Ltd Pilots to take revenge on Dr Vijay Mallya ?

Dr Vijay Mallya, who once was known as "King of Good Times", may face real
trouble in the near future. Kingfisher Airlines (KFA) employees have threatened
to approach Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) if their due salaries are
 not paid by Friday, Nov 30.

The CEO of the grounded Kingfisher Airlines Sanjay Aggarwal along
 with Mallya had vowed to pay their salaries before Diwali. However, even after
festival of lights, employees of the airline are left in dark as management has
 failed to pay their salaries.

The Kingfisher Airlines has been grounded since Oct 1, 2012 after its engineers
and pilots went on strike demanding their long-pending wages. According to the
settlement between the management and employees of Kingfisher, employees were
expected to receive Apr salaries by Oct 31 and May salary by Nov 12.

The management also had promised to pay salaries for the months of June-September
when the company is recapitalised. The airline officials had also said that the
 company will pay salaries a month late from October.


The airline is looking at resuming operations by the third or fourth week of  December, if the regulator revokes the suspension of its licence and allows it to fly.

Yahoo’s New CEO Marissa Mayer Has A Fortune To Share

The Monday announcement of the new CEO joining for Yahoo had another announcement
to accompany. The new chief executive officer of the company, Marissa Mayer
announced the good news of her pregnancy with a boy child to be born on Oct 7
this year. Mayer reported to the Fortune reporter through an interview for a couple of hours. She said that her son was quite mobile just as his parents, and more like his mother who recently switched from Google to Yahoo.

Mayer is 37 now, and had started her career as Google’s 20th employee. She had the responsibilities of maintaining the Google Maps and Google Earth technologies. Other than this, she was the leader in the Zagat project for the year 2011. She headed Google as vice-president for 13 years and was the first lady employee for Google.

Mayer’s first computer had been bought only at college. She started with being a paediatric neurosurgeon and then ended up with completing her academics with a huge mix of subjects like symbolic systems, philosophy and computer science.

She had 14 job offers after graduating. She hired an economist and worked hard by herself as well to find a solution. The motive was to get the best job selection in terms of success, lifestyle, location, career trajectory, etc.

Her thoughts convey that women employees in the tech industry are minute because of the traditional idealistic beliefs about a computer programmer is to be “a geek”. But, she suggests that women must find places where they could try unique projects and work with people who believe in them. This leads to a good pay off.

Captain Jeff “Tebo” Kropf, 45, of Halsey, and Timothy Dean Carter, 46, of Portland were killed in a Vans RV-6 Single Engine Airplane, crash on Highway 226 and Brewster Road on Nov. 26.

Kropf is known to many in Lebanon and throughout the mid-valley for the
Young Eagles flights he gave out of LebanAir Aviation.

“I know he was a good, safe Pilot,” said Ernie Kropf of his brother.
“One of his favorite things to do was give free Young Eagles flights.”

Jeff Kropf had set a goal to give 200 Young Eagle flights this year.
Larry Knox of LebanAir Aviation said Kropf was just three short of that
goal before the crash.

Kropf was the passenger, Knox said, in the plane that went down at about
3:40 p.m.

Dawn McUne witnessed the plane going down while travelling north on
Brewster Road to take her children to 4-H.

“It made a spiral down and crashed into the field,” McUne said.

She said she and other drivers had pulled over after seeing the accident.

“One gentleman quickly jumped over the fence (to help),” McUne said.

She called her husband Russ McUne first because the plane went down close
to their home, then called 911.

“Our house is just right there and I knew he would get there a lot quicker,”
Dawn McUne said.

Russ McUne, an emergency room doctor at Samaritan Albany General Hospital,
was at home working in the barn, he said.

He had his headphones on and didn’t hear the crash, he said.

“I drove up there pretty fast,” Russ McUne said. “There were a couple of
people already out there. I asked if there was anyone in there. It was clear
 there were fatalities.”

McUne identified himself as a physician to authorities when they arrived,
and stayed on scene for about an hour.

“It was definitely clear it was

instant, (they were) killed on impact,” Russ McUne said.

“It was very sad,” he added. “Especially to find out who they were. The
guy who does all these flights with children, I’m glad there wasn’t a kid
on board.”

Knox said LebanAir Aviation proudly footed the bill for the Young Eagle
flights.

“We got him through his commercial license earlier in the year,” Knox said.
“We wanted him to be there because he could teach young people what aviation
 was all about and how wonderful it is.”

Kropf’s death is a loss to those who knew him and to the aviation community,
Knox said.

“His love of life on this earth was flying,” Knox said. “He did it with
wonderful finesse. His whole world was teaching youngsters.”

Knox said Kropf was like a son to him.

“There’s never been a young man that’s ever brought the light into life with more class,” he said.

The accident

Carter was the owner the Vans RV-6 single engine airplane, Linn County
Undersheriff Bruce Riley said. He had a private pilot license.

Riley said it has not been confirmed Carter was piloting the plane.

“Carter landed the plane when he arrived at the Lebanon airport,” Riley said. “We do not know for sure who was piloting the plane when it crashed.”

The plane has dual controls, so either person could have been piloting the plane, Riley said.

It may take months for the National Transportation Safety Board to come up with a probable cause of the accident, said Allen Kenitzer, communications manager for the Federal Aviation Administration.

While the FAA and NTSB are investigating this accident, the NTSB is the lead investigative agency, Kenitzer said.

Kenitzer said private small planes generally do not have black boxes on them.
