Hear this,barely days after the tragic Mangalore crash, Air India has flown into trouble once again with a flash strike being called by a section of its engineers, cabin crew and ground staff to protest against a showcause notice issued to their union leaders on Tuesday.
Around 45 flights were cancelled till midnight of which 12 were from Delhi. Most other flights operated on a delayed schedule, leading to chaos across almost all airports in the country. Passengers booked on Wednesday's flights have been told to call up the airline for flight status before leaving for the airport.
In a country where travelling by a flight was till a recent a taboo or more like a luxury has now become a routine affair, Indian Airlines or more so Air India still seems to struggle with innumerable issues like union troubles, strikes, or lately the crash. How on the earth are they thinking to even run the airline forget making a profit out of it.
Personal experience, run a search for a flight deal from anywhere to anywhere in the country the last airline with the highest price tag will Indian Airlines. And what for, the delayed departures, the hovering over the airport wasting time, the airhostesses who are like my mom's age putting on heavy teflon coating make-up to hide all the wrinkles and crow's feet...phew...its like taking all that money and blowing it up with aviation fuel....
