Also this point from another post about Goyal as an NRI and the Chief who is a foreigner is quite typical of the blind nationalism that prevails with some people. Really irks me.

It's funny but as a foreigner and investor (most have to be quite vigilent about this), we keep all accounts clean and pay all taxes, not so for the 80% of Indians who hide in black money and evade taxes. The tax leakage is quite high here in almost every sector and the reason is mainly that collection is poor...the ones who are watched are the foreigners...certainly not the crooked politicians who hide crores and crores of cash under someone else' mattress.

Anyway, I have full faith in Jet as I bought my tix yesterday for a flight in 2 weeks. I hope management and the pilots sort things out amicably. I much prefer Jet over AI, IC, etc...I want them around.
