In short, S2 was acting like something from the old customer hostile India. Based on a fairly large survey at Gulmarg, Kingfisher and Deccan were the best on time, Kingfisher tops on service, Jet decent, and Sahara the worst.
That "survey" is the general take as far as I've experienced too. I wonder where Kingfisher and Jet put up displaced SXR passengers. (I'd prefer the IC Grand Palace, formerly known as Oberoi Palace.)
