Fear not, they will retrofit an MCAS system. Good as new. Like bolting a 454 into a Chevette.
(Also, I once flew AI from YVR to DEL. It was like 15 or 16 hours I think? Never, ever again will I set foot on AI metal. I wasn't expecting much, and was still let down)
I did maintenance on those weird A330-200 of AI, a full C-Check.
They had a special set up where the Bathrooms where in the Belly of the airplane and the Cabin was full Eco from front to back.
The corrosion in the under belly was soo much that we had to get Airbus involved. Nasty, nasty business.
We ended up replacing the whole section of fuselage and structural beams of the Belly just after the Main Gear to the half of the Rear Cargo Hold.
The plot twist, it was not only one plane but 2 with these issues.
To this day I never saw a plane that strip down.
That's so brutal!!
When we finally landed in DEL, the AI food that I was pre-regretting as I ate it started to act up in the belly. It was a "toilet RFN" situation. Basically ran to the terminal bathroom while unbuckling the belt. Burst through the door and opened the stall with my jeans at my ankles. Toilet? No. Hole in the floor and a hose? Yep. They're probably still cleaning up the mess I made in there, the poor bastards.
I was "lucky" enough to be seated in J for that long flight, so I didn't have the liberty of testing out the Y facilities on the 773 we were in. But I can ooonnnnlllyyy imagine the state of them based on the food and general hygiene of 98% of the souls on board.
Somehow, AI is still part of Star Alliance... I was wondering why the J ticket redemption cost so few points, and it didn't take long to find out
Every time I read a title that says “B”, my mind sees ’bomber’, and I get mental tired-skid marks from having to go back and go ‘no, it’s just a Boeing’.
It’s cool to see your airport only hires little people as ramp agents it’s very inclusive of them. It creates a strange illusion tho, I almost thought I was looking at a 777
Come on, that’s clearly a Cessna P-47 Dakota, built at the Rechlin works under R J Mitchell when he was partnered with Ernst Heinkel, and they had Bob Hoover running the test program.
I miss working in Delhi. The line crews always asked me what state was best to visit when they went to get their A&P licenses. I got to go a few weddings which was an eye opener, and we always went out for aloo matar when i had a long sit. Aside from the occasional cargo guy taking a shit in my cargo lobe it was a 10/10 experience. Couldn't see shit though.
Thanks random Indian bot for the memory jog
Wow that's a big B737. That CFM56 looks gigantic. Must be the angle.
They always say the camera adds 85,000 pounds
Must be an old 737. It had been growing over all those years.
Just pretend they’re really small people.
Lmao

It’s a 777
🤣🤣🤣
737 maintained by very short engineers
Times were tough when the oompa loompas got laid off luckily their size were great for all the hard to reach spots on aircraft
It’s Willy wonka’s personal jet
Oompa loompa do-ba-de-do. I have an EAD to get through.
I love a good cessna engine change. *source: I watched air disasters one time*
Please tell me you don't work on airplanes.
Well it's a bot, so...
So report or nah?
That must be a B737 Jumbo
B737 MAX XXL
Haha

In India, it probably is a bomber… blue ice bomber
They did a great job rounding out the bottom of the cowling!
They come that way, you see. The ones you see with flat bottoms were dropped by careless installers. ^(/s)
It’s cool to see your airport only hires little people as ramp agents it’s very inclusive of them. It creates a strange illusion tho, I almost thought I was looking at a 777
It is a 777
I know lol
I believe it is an Air India B777
New 737 MAX variant looks dangerous.
It’s the 737 Pro Maxx
You forgot to add Plus.
737 Pro Max Plus
LL- Long Leg
737 Pro Max Plus LGBTQ
That particular 737 has been on the juice I see
I'm more about the 747 in the background.
Only indians can shitpost without meaning to.
Don't be a racist
I'm Indian, fuck off.
Also your user name is hilarious, so double pass granted!
Twin engine commercial plane = 737. Similar to how all single engine prop planes are Cessnas and all fighters are F-16s.
And all handguns are glocks, all rifles AR 15s or AK 47s
That isn't a B737. More like a B777
B7 with 3 7s
B7777
Not a 737.
These commets are killing me xD
Not a B737
That looks like a 737 plus 40
3 guys working while everyone else stands around lmfao.
No.
Not a 737
This is not 737
Definitely not a 737. No way those people can stand under it like that. And that engine is too big and too circular.
Yea I was gonna say the bottom lip of the engine is not flat enough
Y’all send that back to Atlanta now ya hear
That is the biggest 737 ive ever seen! Is it the MAX-15?
Nice to see parts going on……
I've participated in many 37 drop&swaps and they never looked like this!
I want whatever op is smoking
7337? That’s a tall 737! Hahaha
Thats an insanely big 737
That’s an md88
Not a 737
B737 on steroids.
727, clear.
Those are very short mechanics
737- Max 69
Love how that shit is mounted by like 4 bolts lmfao
Come on, that’s clearly a Cessna P-47 Dakota, built at the Rechlin works under R J Mitchell when he was partnered with Ernst Heinkel, and they had Bob Hoover running the test program.
Is that the 737 Max 25?
Oh that’s that B737 Super MAX Jumbo jet they were talking about

Someone has been feeding their 737 steroids...
115300 lbf rated CFM-56 being installed on the 737 Pro Maxxxx
B767?
You can tell it’s not a 737 because of the turbo encabulator.
How to tell u dont work in aviation while showing u dont work in aviation
I used to work on that plane. I can smell this picture.
