I agree that the AI hard product has improved a lot, the soft product is a bit of hit and miss, but the biggest problem with AI is reliability and punctualilty. The PM is visiting Canada, and a whole flight from EWR to BOM gets cancelled as they need the AI plane as back up. The AI SIN_BOM flight leaves after midnight instead of the scheduled 7 pm more times than not. So if your travel is time sensitive and you have to make quick connections, AI could put a spanner in the works.
