Former KFA VT-VJK was ferried to LH Technik in MLA this week to be reconfigured to operate for Air Azul: http://www.flightradar24.com/data/ai...D-ALAA#5003a19

Which reminds me that I was curiously discovering various hindi placards on a recent TK A321 flight The aircraft was bought by TK, but the business class seats were former KFA equipment

Seems like Google hangout's unlimited free US/ Canada calling (including the Android dialer now) is hurting Skype's revenue stream, and they are responding by dropping prices (down for free) for US/ Canada calling!

Yes - completely free and integrated into the standard gmail chat interface - just type a number like +16504793208 (or any US/ Canada number), and it will connect you to that # for a free call.

Anyone/ anytime can call any US/ Canada for free and talk for as long as they want - all via Google's network.

It's easy to do for any network as there are no call termination charges in US (AFAIK)

AI Delay Penalties ?

read on a blog that AI is starting a plan where they will penalize/ dock pay/ payments of employees or vendors who cause a delay . That to me is a first.

Is this true ?
How will they get it past the unions ?

Saw a fractured. (usual) report on Zee TV News here.
What was wrong with AI DEL ORD fight on 14-15 FEB ? It said the plane remained airborne for 3 to 5 hours around the DEL area and landed due to technical problem. Pax as usual left in the dark, put up at a hotel without any announcement re when why, etc.
part of the clip showed fuel dumping.

Never done it but be aware that if things go south you will have zero recourse. besides the points/ miles companies will shut you down.

I will be visiting the Golden Temple in Amritsar next month. What are the security regulations? Is one allowed to take a camera/ phone inside?

Yes, when you enter the parikrama area, you can take pictures of the holy pool, the temple itself etc. Photography is forbidden once you join the queue for the walkway leading to the main temple in the middle.
