The junior pilot of the Air India flight involved in the tragic crash on June 12 was reportedly flying the plane at the time of the accident. He is noted for questioning his more experienced captain about the decision to turn off the fuel supply switches shortly after takeoff, a critical moment that has drawn attention during the investigation into the crash that resulted in the loss of 260 lives. This incident highlights the challenges and responsibilities faced by less experienced pilots in high-pressure situations.
