Air India + Indian = Air Indian?

Overheard on Rediff.com

no chanceby Full2njoy on Mar 29, 2007 08:56 AMTill the 50 year old airhostess aunties with their faces looking like a cake (due to the makeup) are sacked and some youngsters are recruited and good service is ensured, there is no chance for Air Indian against Emirates, SIA, BA etc.Its like trying to paint the donkey and trying to pass it off as a horse. no point going in for a cosmetic change. truth is nothing run by the govt functions in India.

RE:no chanceby bharat on Mar 29, 2007 09:04 AMTypical Air India/ Indian Airlines Airhostess:1. Tummy cascading over the saree.2. Can barely pass through the aisle with the backside bouncing against the seats as she walks.3. Facial expression as if someone has forced her to drink castor oil.

I can’t seem to recollect the last time I travelled in any of these national airlines, but somehow by the thought of it and the things I heard, I seriously would prefer travelling by train than travel in one of these airlines. As if stories of the pathetic service, food quality and young old hostess were not enough, there were recent stories on how the aircrafts are not tuned and managed according to current industry standards.

Tech School

Now that I have attended one of better tech schools in Australia, I agree to most of the things listed by Paul of GTech. Been there. Done that.
