APC. We can take the tamest topic, jump on it like a pack of snarling dogs on a fallen North Korean general. Or find humor in the unlikeliest places.

Freakin' idiot savants, if you ask me.

You know someone actually made a video of this thread:

What they're doing right now is managing the expectations of the 70,000 and getting them ready for significant cost increases...all about change management. I don't think you'll find any info on the DPMP for awhile longer. It's not hidden--just hasn't been published yet.

You are correct Cohiba.

Exactly.
They give everybody a 3% raise and then take it right back in medical premiums.

Air India's fleet is nearly 97% financed.
But wait, the US made jets in that fleet are not just financed, but financed by the ExIm bank ;-)

BTW, Top loss making routes for Air India are BOM-JFK and BOM-EWR.

Funny how all that worked out. There's an article out now about how the the preclearance facility in the M.E. that we lobbied against is actually causing huge headaches for Etihad. It seems our CBP people are doing a typically crappy job and causing massive flight delays an operational problems... Less than 1% of the flights to LAX are on time...
