Well, then they got lucky, didn't they?

BTW, AI127 is delayed an average 101 minutes between 1 Jan and 29 Feb this year - http://www.flightstats.com/go/Flight...19F2.web1:8009

Here are the comparable stats for BOM-EWR in the same period.

No, I am stating that AI's reliability is decent because it has an 80% on time record. I am also stating that my personal experience agrees with the statistics...

I am not saying that because since I the days I flew AI 126 it was on time, AI 126 has a 100% on time record.

I agree that most wouldn't fly AI over those airlines. However, if you take any route pair where there is only 1 airline that flies nonstop, the nonstop is pretty much guaranteed to be more expensive than the competition...
