The sorry plight of Air India - National carrierBy: arun kumar | Tuesday , 30 Jun '09 9:50:05 AM Reply | Forward Is not because of ISI or Pakistan sponsored terrorism. It is because Congress party sponsored terrorism in India and because of late Indira Gandhi's flirt with socialism.

So why should gov. waste another 10,000 crore and aga

It is overstaffed and rudeness the language of the day. what a pity that neither the staff nor union as well managment can manage the service.Is the managment not aware that due to indispline in all the ranks 80% of foreign travel is done by foreign lines and only illiterate first time travelers or labour class working in Gulf use the line.What a pity like everything in Indioa under the government has gone to dogs.
