why not with mr. praful patel as a civil aviation minister - with both son and daughter given to Kingfisher and Jet Airlines - more preference has been given to these airlines over airindia and indianairlines - why blame the employees - it should be mr. patel who should be taken to task for all the losses
Since ages people know the dictum, Perform or Perish.
Except probably the Soviet commies and Indian PSUs. Air India being a glaring example.
Get it privatised,let the pot bellies twiddling their thumbs know they are under watch,their job is at stake,bring in a tough task master a la Y C Deveshwar(who showed how to get things done during his short stint),cut flabs,keep aside emotions. These are some of the remedial measures I propound that AI needs immediately to survive.
Otherwise, there's no point in hanging on, if the bottomless pot doesn't yearn to change.
Bull Shit! Air India must be sold out. Government has no business to be in Civil Aviation. Treat all airlines in India like Jet, Kingfisher, Spicejet, Indigo, Goair, Paramount, MDLR as national airlines. No civlised country on earth has a government run airline, on tax payer's money. Praful Patel should behave like minister of civil aviation, but he is behaving like minster of Air India. By the way pakistani airlines PIA (Please inform allah)is working far better than AI (Allah informed).
--if air india is giving free trips to ministers,MLA's,MP's then it must be stopped. --they should change the route to profit making routes. --excess useless staff must be kicked out. --working time must be set according to rush hours and free hours

Dear all the above suggestions they had but who is going to implement, because they themselves are sufferer if implemented. It is a white elephant.
i think you cannot endlessly waste poor tax payers money on mismanaged airlines. it is commercial establishment . if it makes loss, it should die. or sale it some one as is where is basis and save further waste of money. after all this hall gulla , did air india staff reduced one rupee sacrifice or perks. they are comfortable going on strike and putting the passengers into difficulty.
Boy this person is so good in giving excuse, he should be be added to the bloated bureaucracy as chief excuse writer.
He want's the government to open up the skies slowly to benefit Air India, has he thought about the plight of the consumers. Consumers don't exist for Airlines, it is the other way around.
And why is he hungup on saving the government airlines anyway. Let them go bankrupt. there are 10's of large countries that are doing very well without national carrier.
If you look into the cost of employees to the organization, you would realise that the PSU is existing to provide employment and not to make profits. We have to bother becuase it is the tax payers' precious money
