Dear All,
It is quite true that professionalism is lacking in Air India not only in its International operations but also in Domestic services. For domestic flying, at least for the past one decade, I have not been flying Air India (erstwhile Indian Airlines) and have been availing services of Private Airlines since they are more dependable and more often cheaper. Further, if you check the flight timings of Air India flying into Kochi or Thiruvanathapuram you would find that the time slots are most inconvenient (I generally fly out of Ahmedabad or Mumbai). Such schedules also can be a part of sinister design by some vested interest who might have already written an epitaph for the Airline.
Professionalism has to be infused in Air India either by drastic measures viz., handing over the reign to professionals with minimum/ no political interference or by privatisation.
Let us hope that better wisdom prevails in time to come and trust that the new minister from Kerala Mr. Venugopal would be able to contribute his mite in this endeavour and save Air India, which used to be India's pride once upon a time.
Regards.

Hi all,This refers to few mails / post from few members, asking all expats to BOYCOTT AIR INDIA...Believe me......Only ONCE , I had experienced the "comforts" of the famous AIR INDIA...during one of my vocation trips to India...That time flight was unduly delayed, A/C was not working, and the attitude of the staff members to some of the co-passengers was too deplorable and pathetic..That was the first and the last trip by AIR INDIA...and on all other occasions, even if I had to pay few extra money for tickets for GULF AIR or SAUDI AIRLINES or ETIHAD AIRWAYS, I had opted for that, rather than choosing AIR INDIA.. On one occasion, when the ticket fares were too high, and the only option available was AIR INDIA, I cancelled the option of travelling that year.....I thought it was not worth it...But how many will be there as adamant as we "boast and post" our slogan to boycott AIR INDIA ? Can we, or are we that mentally strong, as we boast & post in FB or in other columns and groups ? If we unite, it will be really worth it... But in spite of boasting like this, don't you think that, we Malayalis are basically "soft hearted" or "weak hearted" that we will fall for some HALWA talk by the politicians ?BOYCOTT all politicians and the so-called AIR INDIA maharaja...They don't deserve our attention ...and do believe me.. I am very proud of saying that I made that very wise decision few years back itself, "not to travel" by AIR INDIA in future.....and I do know few NRIs from Toronto and US who never opt for AIR INDIA...Join the chorus, dear friends and do make it practical.....Don't stop at respecting only our "mudeers" and "kafeels"...START HAVING SOME SELF RESPECT ON OURSELVES....Once we start respecting ourselves, the whole world will start working alright for us.....so please at least now, start boycotting ALL POLITICIANS and the AIR INDIA .....let it be in India or abroad...let us spread this message far and wide......wishing all members a very fruitful day ahead,engeekay2003engeekay2003
