Pilot's reactions were good. Cockpit discipline was not.
It is clear that this Lady is a good Pilot.



By india standards..yes she is good..most indian pilots i had flown with would not be able to accelerate to v1 and then bring the aircraft to the stop without going off the side of the runway.

I had to hold my breath everytime the tower instructed to roll out to the end. We would veer from one edge of the runway to the other almost taking out both sides of runway lights.

Now high speed reject just because of apples?? Heaven forbid a raindrop falling from the sky at V1.
