TG also pays wages that are way too high for Thailand and employs a lot of people who do nothing, but hey, the relatives of government officials need jobs, right? SA could actually be done this time, I don't think the government will let AI die but if it does, I imagine Vistara would join *A so not too much lost, and Vistara is a much better airline than AI anyway.
