Conflict of interest. Now that's a novel concept, For India that is. Has conflict of interest ever detracted anyone in India? . The problem is entitlement. You are no more entitled to a business class seat if you bough an economy class ticket than any one else who did not pay.
This hype about GoI officials treating AI is their personal fleet is given more importance than it deserves. All airlines give special deals to Govt employees in the U.S. There is not change penalty on tickets issued to Federal Govt employees. People like to blame the Govt for everything. People make the Govt. It doesn't come from Mars.
