Kamal Hasan s political party in Tamil Nadu promised salaries to housewives as part of its electoral campaign. And the idea was welcomed by Congress politician Shashi Tharoor. Today, the media is also celebrating the longest flight and the first from San Francisco to Bengaluru manned by an all women crew of pilots and co-pilots led by Captain Papagiri Thanmai and Captain Zoya Aggarwal.
How do these headline grabbing news compare to the long drawn out battle by feminist statisticians and economists to get better estimates of women s work in the national labour statistics? As well as document her full contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country by counting her paid and unpaid work?
The all-women crew of Air India’s longest direct flight from San Francisco to Bengaluru landed on Monday morning after covering a distance of 16,000 kilometres in which the crew flew over the North Pole.
In a historic move, Air India s longest direct route flight with the all-women pilot team landed at Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru from San Francisco, flying over the North Pole and covering a distance of about 16,000 kilometers. Today, we created world history by not only flying over the North Pole but also by having all women pilots who successfully did it. We are extremely happy and proud to be part of it. This route has saved 10 tonnes of fuel, said Captain Zoya Aggarwal. Shivani Manhas, one of the four pilots who operated Air India s inaugural San Francisco-Bengaluru flight said, It was an exciting experience since it was never done before. It took almost 17 hours to reach here.
