Fatbus.
No offence meant here.But how many aviators do you know of these days don’t think highly of themselves.
I see it as some sort of a pilot survival mechanism.Massaging one’s self in a manner of speaking.
And it’s not geographically limited either. 😉

International trader, that's a load of burnt bull crap.
Could smell it right here from the Inernational Space Station.
Feel bad for the likes of you.
@ A380 Jockey, Cp Sunny Kapur is sadly no longer with Qatar or Singapore. I think he is with some other Middle East carrier as we speak. I shall try my best to re establish contact with him. And I shall PM you once I do. It will be well worth my while to reconnect with the legend.
Check your PM's.
Adios.

What about him???! Sorry I reached this thread via the search function with way too much time on my hands thanks to this pandemic 🙄
I know Cap Kapur very well. Great guy, Great aviator. Awesome manager. And the best trainer ever !
Anybody know where he is these days pls do pm me with contact details. He was my very first instructor in commercial aviation a decade and half ago. And to this day I keep his notes.
God speed 👍👍👍

Truly an ace flyer if i have ever seen one ! A true blue trainer and a legendary instructor. Solid on knowledge and teaching methodology.
I very clearly remember we had a chance meet some circa ago in London. He was finishing his Instructor course on the NG’s and I was there to do my initial training on the same. Couldn’t quite get the grasp of the NG FMS. Happened to do a sim with Capt. Sunny Kapur on my left seat during one of my training sorties. He was so quick to pick up my insecurity that almost writhing 10 minutes of completing the session debrief he called me over to his room where he offered to walk me to the nearest pub around the corner. Not knowing what this was all about, I couldn’t do much but agree. Three rounds of beer later ( all paid for by him 🍻
and less than an hour later I got up from that bar with every single NG system so so crystal clear in my head and not an aorta of a doubt on the working of the dreaded FMS..!! And all this over a couple of pints of lager !
I am now a DE / TRE for a government agency as flight inspector. And I still look up on that day with awe and megatons of respect for the selfless way in which I was force fed knowledge which I was in fact starved of to begin with. And to this day I try and do it his way but every single time I come up short with my pupils and trainees. It’s not an art, it’s a gift !
And only a handful in this world of aviation have it. Sunny is one of them.
BTW he is no longer in the ME. He is very soon joining Boeing as Instructor. Will be the airline world’s loss and the manufacturer’s gain if he does !
All the best to him whatever he chooses in these trying times.

if it’s the same person we’re both referring to then Cp Sunny Kapur is no longer in the Middle East. A little birdie tells me he’s joined Boeing as an IP and is based somewhere in the Far East. That was what I last heard. Shall try and get his ping details. Should that happen I’ll be sure to PM you. And I’ll remember to say your hello to the Legend.
Best of luck again !

Incredible credentials for an aviator especially when you consider so many other factors about him.
I have heard a lot about Capt Sunny Kapur and I am fairly certain that he is currently working somewhere in the Far East. I hope he is doing well. Has done so much for aviation and aviators worldwide wherever he has worked that I wouldn’t be able to mention it all even if I wanted to!
A real asset to any airline or employer that he works for. Had the good fortune to work alongside him in a couple of his prior ventures.
May you always stay airborne sir
