2. See, here's the deal.. I think a lot of our love for airlines is based on
a. What airlines we flew the first time in our lives..
b. How our personal experience has been..
My first flight was Sahara.. followed by a lot of Jet.. I did like Sahara.. so my love for Jet multiplied when they bought it over.. and over all my experience with 9W has been quite good.. though in recent times, things are changing.. but then again, everyday is not sunday..
as for AI.. My experiences with them have been a disaster from day 1.. My BLR LHR CCU was a disaster all the way.. as much as I love their food, that's not a good enough reason for me to continue flying them.. I have a long list of things I don't like about them.. but my biggest hatred comes from the fact that the Babu's of this country use it as their private airlines and we have to pay for it.. the constant meddling, the permanent bailout status, the inconvenience to the passengers at the cost of the common man.. these things make me mad...
