No plane is Kumar Ready unless it's rodent infested.
Do the India's airports have maintenance inspections before and after?
There's some YT videos where some airline pilots are giving their opinions: one said that, soon after take-off, the co-pilot might have accidentally retracted the flaps rather than retracting the landing gear. Because in the videos, you see the flaps are up but the landing gear is still down.
It's a bit like that Korean airliner disaster (on Jeju island ?) where, after a birdstrike, they make it down but didn't lower the flaps so the plane pummeled into a wall at the end of the runway. Not related, I know, but it shows the importance of flap position both during take-off and landing.

Flaps are used to extend the wings basically as they both increase lift but also drag so that's why they are used to get off the ground and to decrease airspeed coming down to the ground. It seems like someone forgot to read their checklist properly, it at all.
If the 2nd officer pulled the flaps instead of the landing gear... well that's some kind of incompetency I have no words for.
Interesting explanation, but I do not understand how it's even possible in a ultra modern airplane to raise the wing flaps instead of the landing gear during take off without a million warning lights and alarms going off..... That sort of basic error shouldn't even be do-able without various manual overrides.

It's almost impossible to mistake this. The controls are shaped like the function - flaps are flat lever, wheels are round - and have been this way for decades.
I remember years ago that airlines had their own maintenance crews in India because the airports were not trustworthy. Pretty sure it would be no different now days.
Even with DEI policies? Serious question.
The actual brains would still be merit based, but what kind of damage the "management" can do with all the DEI hires is a great question for Boeing.
Did you see how she was smiling through the whole confrontation? Women love stirring up trouble and drama like this and getting maximum attention from everyone around them.
From this angle, you can’t really tell how fat the fat person is. And honestly, if they are so fat that they cannot fit in to one seat, they should have to pay for a second seat. Can you imagine if it’s a packed full flight and the last two people to get on the plane are massively overweight, and neither one can fit into a seat and they’re supposed to sit next to each other?
