Air India
-----
This is the worst airline I've ever been on.
1. First thisairline arrives 2 hours late. Then they take their time getting the plane ready. In the US, the crews do things in parallel but on Air India does things 1 at a time. Add fuel. Stop. Add Cargo. Stop. Load some baggage. Stop.
2. The customers are pissed off. Easter China Airlines run the gates for Air India. A near riot breaks out as customers are irritated by the delay. This British young guy spends the next 1/2 hour yelling at the poor Chinese staff
Delhi Airport
. The chicks don't speak English well causing the guy to yell louder & start pushing people around. After awhile I get irritated and had a talk with the Brit to calm him down. I guess speaking w/ an English speaker worked and he calms down a bit. He does have a case though as the worst thing to do is to not tell the customers what's going on.3. After I left to take a rest, I see a new crowd forming. The Brit is at it again, demanding to know why Air India people are taking so long. The angry Chinese people join in, basically overwhelming the staff. Fortunately a bilingual woman calms everybody down and helps the e. China staff control the situation. The customers are pissed off because they have no where to complain. The staff doesn't care. All request & complaints over the phone to the Air India staff are ignored (or worse put on hold). The irate customers then ask the e. China to complain to the Air India staff on board but those bastards refuse to come out of the plane to explain the situation.
Flight
-----
Things got a lot better once we were in the air. The steward(ess) were all real friendly and helpful. The pilot seems to be flying the plane real smoothly.
Layover in Bangkok
-----
We have a layover in Bangkok. The last 1/2 of the flight was highlighted by a crying baby who just won't stop.
We are not allowed to deplane in Bangkok, yet the cleaning crew still has a job to do. It's complete chaos with crews changing shifts, crews cleaning the plane around passengers. What a mess.

Yep, I totally agree.

FILTHY AIRLINES FROM A FILTHY COUNTRY

IT STARTS WITH THE BOOKIG IT SELF. STAFF AT ANY AIR INDIA ARE RUDE AND CRUEL BECAUSE THEY ARE INDIAN GOVT EMPLOYEES. THEY HATE EVERY BODY PERIOD. THEY ARGUE AND FIFGHT IT'S GIVEN AND ITS NORMAL. THEY ARE MERCY LESSS AS THEY ARE ALL FROM BOMBAY OR KERALA. NO RESPECT--NO NONE NONE AND NO. THEY ARE RUTHELESS SICK AND PERVERTED SADISTIC CREATURES. DON'T CARE WOMEN,OLD PEOPLE OR CHILDREN. THEY ALL HAVE TO MISS THE CONNECTING FLIGHTS AND SUFFER IN THAT FILTHY BOMBAY OR ANY INDIAN DIRTY AIR PORTS WITHOUT ANY HELP AS THE SADISSTIC AIR INDIANS WISH. THESE SICK PEPOLE RETIRE WITH EXCELLENT SALARIRS AND BENEFITS AS THEY ARE ALL CONNECTED TO ELITE.
NOTHING CAN SAVE THIS FUCKING INDIA. INDIA IS BOOMING AND GLOWING AND GROWING AS NUMBER ONE IN AIDS-- CRIME -- DRUGS-- MISERY.
GOD PLEASE DONT HELP THESE SELF DESTRUCTIVE RACE.
India sucks - period.
India sucks. Most of them are cunning and back-stabbing. They are nice to (1) people who can potentially hurt them, but very nasty and arrogant to those who are not in category (1). This is their surviving strategy, esp. outside of India (such as the US / Europe).
