the 737's additional cockpit seat is even more uncomfortable than the economy seats with even less leg room than the worst economy seat you would have ever sat on!

Supposedly (per an enthusiast who checked) there was availability in J and Y was wide open.
But that's not the point. What sort of message is he sending when, as founder chairman, he is seen flying the competition on the same route where Jet have a flight at similar timings?

And like you said, the J seats are still the same. Everything's the same, except the meal. And it's a three hour flight.
Even if they weren't, he's the founder chairman of the airline. Brilliant message he's sending to employees and customers alike : this airline isn't good enough, so please FlyEmirates.
JetIdiot.

One can't entirely blame him for choosing to fly the competition. He's just doing what he's asking us to do.

He's also quite short, apparently, so a bit more comfortable...(A prominent architect who happened to sit next to me that afternoon and myself would had his ear about the awesome flight we happened to have that morning to DEL on the 77W repositioning there - as well as other matters, so a reason to hide then.
All the more reason to hide nowadays that there is a *lot* more feedback for him!

On another thread I only flew Jet as I had to attempt to use some miles - not very possible with the JP dimwits.
I'm not in bed with them, so I have already moved biz away...

So rumour has it that Lalaji choose to fly Emirates between Dubai and Dilly today, instead of taking a JetNasty flight at around the same time.
A clear sign (not that we needed any more) of Jet having lost their touch?
Or maybe Naresh Lalaji tried to redeem his JetPunishment points and the JetChild told him "sorry sir, no availability for the next 330 days, but we're happy to let you use your points to fly a better airline for less money."
Really, if you're going to step out, at least let it be something worth cheating for. EK don't seem to be that much better than Jet - that's like cheating on Mayawati with Jayalalithaaaah. Shows how little Lalaji thinks of his airline.
Jetuna Matata!

I have in my possession copies of two e-tickets in the name of a certain Goyal, N Mr:
- #1 for DXB-BOM (staff travel ticket, confirmed in J but waitlisted in F, with an annotation "9W Chairman")
- #2 for the same flight, a full-fare walk-up one-way F ticket
Apparently the waitlist on the staff travel fare did not clear, so he bought a walk-up F ticket at the last minute.
And, yes, there was a 9W flight departing 20 minutes later.
Wow.
(Unfortunately I can't share the ticket - don't want to get anyone in trouble)

So, the ultimate sign that Jet is losing their touch - Lalaji travelling economy!
