The preliminary report on the June 12, 2025, fatal crash of an Air India 787 is most notable for what is unstated, vague, and even misleading. The detectives start with the omission of who turned off the engines just after takeoff. Their list of unanswered questions grows from there. This crash appears to not be an accident, but rather an intentional act by at least one member of the flight crew. The engines were shut down shortly after takeoff. Although at least one pilot took actions to restart both engines, neither engine could generate thrust before the aircraft crashed less than a mile from the airport.The report has telltale signs that those writing the report had motives other than to provide factual information about the event and the investigation. Errors and vaguely worded statements in the report make it appear that someone other than an aviation safety professional wrote or approved the report.Just a few of the issues Greg Feith, John Goglia and Todd Curtis highlight:The report did not specify which pilot shut down the engines just after takeoff, even though the voice and data recorders likely had enough information to determine that.The report does not say whether other people were in the cockpit other than the two pilots.No reason is given as to why Air India was excluded from the investigation.An aviation psychologist is listed as one of the subject matter experts on the investigation team, implying that a psychological or even psychiatric issue was a factor in this crash.In summary, the report points to an event that was not an accident, but a deliberate action.

“We need to stop building and waiting for revenue to follow. That era is over.” — Michele Campriani, CRO, Optiva In this insightful episode of Technology Reseller News, Publisher Doug Green sits down with Michele Campriani, Chief Revenue Officer at Optiva, for a wide-ranging conversation recorded from a Tuscan villa—but focused squarely on the future of telecom. Campriani brings three decades of telecom experience and a sharp diagnosis: while infrastructure investments like 5G have improved customer experience, they haven't translated into new revenue for operators. Campriani introduces the concept of the “Segment of One”—a strategy enabled by AI and real-time data analytics that allows telcos to hyper-personalize services, pricing, and customer engagement at scale. Optiva, a long-standing billing and charging solutions provider, has re-architected its cloud-native platform to support this vision, helping both established operators and agile MVNOs capitalize on new go-to-market models. He emphasizes how MVNOs, once seen as disruptors, are now strategic allies in a hyper-competitive market. Optiva supports operators in rapidly onboarding MVNOs while also enabling MVNOs themselves with dynamic pricing and tailored services. This new agility is proving essential in markets where customer acquisition is increasingly driven by niche offerings and brand differentiation. The conversation also explores how AI can help reduce costs through emerging autonomous network models, and why operators must shift focus from pure technology investment to revenue-focused transformation. With players like Mint Mobile rewriting the playbook, Campriani says it's time for telcos to get aggressive—or risk being left behind. Learn more: https://www.optiva.com

Summary: In this episode of #70secondCEO, Carl Gould breaks down the often overlooked “NO systems”—the internal operations that keep your business running behind the scenes. These include everything from email and payroll to HR and accounting—critical functions that don't directly generate revenue but support the systems that do. Carl also emphasizes the importance of building and developing the right team: people who align with your company, fit their roles, and are trained for future growth. A well-aligned team supercharges both your YES and NO systems. If they're not performing, it may be a leadership issue—your systems, your responsibility. Read full transcript: Hi Everyone, Carl Gould here your #70secondCEO, just over a minute of investment per day for a lifetime of results. Then we have the NO systems. The NO systems are “No, this is not what we get paid for.” These are all the support systems that helps the technical aspects of your business run. So, your email systems, security, benefits, you know, paying all the bills, accounting, payroll, those sorts of things, HR functions, anything that supports the Yes systems is a NO system. And think of it this way. It's all the work you would have to do today if there were no customers. What would still have to be done? That is a NO system. Third part of this quadrant is your TEAM. They have to be right for the company, right for the job, and trained and prepared for the future needs of the business. An aligned team will help you be more efficient with your Yes systems and your No systems. So think about your team for a second. If they're not right for the company or right for the job or trained and prepared for the future of the business, in the beginning, it's not their fault. It's YOURS. You haven't given them the resources or the time or the nurturing or the technical training that they need to do their job well. Take your internal clients, your customers, or sorry, your employees and work on your systems. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more, my name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.

Part of the problem with owning and operating the only flight school in town in the 1920s and 1930s was, every time one of your students slapped together some home-built piece of kit, you'd be expected to help fly it. And 'help fly it' usually translated into 'go first.' (BEND, DESCHUTES COUNTY; EARLY 1930s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1811b.ted-barber-diy-test-pilot-521.html)
