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...
