Indeed, how close was this to Helios (Indian edition) ?
Similarities for sure but Helios had additional issues (the whole airline was a mess) with two pilots of differing nationalities using a shared second language and a captain who got out of his seat to see if the pressurization warning was overheating avionics due to a cooling fan failure; before passing out. There were issues with both crew members then as well, who knows what the crew dynamics were here but a culture in which two pilots from the same operator came to blows recently, doesn't bode well.
