India-based Airlines - AI ExpressView Full Version : AI Express deepakbhatia Jan 25, 12, 8:18 pm Here's a link to the latest tragedy averted on AI Express: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/11633884.cms The number of such incidents prompts me to rather reach my destination by foot than taking a flight on AI Express... Any thoughts... PVDtoDEL Jan 25, 12, 8:59 pm These pilots should be fired. Aborting take-off after V1 is not a mistake that can be forgiven.... deepakbhatia Jan 25, 12, 9:12 pm These pilots should be fired.

Yup thats the least that can be done ^ Mr. Bean Jan 26, 12, 2:16 am Here's a link to the latest tragedy averted on AI Express: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/11633884.cms The number of such incidents prompts me to rather reach my destination by foot than taking a flight on AI Express... Any thoughts... Apparently these were AI pilots on loan to AI Express.

I couldn't agree more... especially when I hear my father speak of the glory days of AI, when prior to the concorde (even after GOI take over from TATA) - AI 101/102 was the most premium flight in the world - LHR-JFK-LHR. Lounge in first class on the upper deck of the small 747 (jumbo back then). Kebab platters, silver service on everything - they made the likes of Pan Am look like amatuers. Honestly even today when you fly AI F - some of that glory day history can be felt with the CC on board. It's a shame what has become of the airline though. Also given how 9W is going - I hope we won't be telling our kids the same stories of the once upon a time of Jet Airways... d3vski Jan 26, 12, 12:23 pm I couldn't agree more... especially when I hear my father speak of the glory days of AI, when prior to the concorde (even after GOI take over from TATA) - AI 101/102 was the most premium flight in the world - LHR-JFK-LHR.
