This was a case of May 5th 2009, while allegedly AI adjusted 03 passangers in It's IC - 179 flight from Mumbai to Maglore, one lady was adjusted in the cockpit and two others were adjusted on crew seats.... DGCA is doing an enquiry in this matter, let's see what will be the outcome. However, in my opinion, the AI (Indian) might have overbooked the flights, which is a trend being adopted by all airlines worldwide, and all the passangers might have showed up. As this airline is being used mostly by govt. functionaries and officials, the management might have been hard pressed to accomodate these passangers.

Satya ji apnay report nahin padi...the passenger was in cockpit and there were no names in the manifest.

It's a Gross violation.
 
AI posted a loss of $ 1 billion last year. This bill was obviously footed by taxpayers.

I traveled in AI few years back from Bangkok to Delhi. They had almost 20 crew members on board. One guy's only job was changing cd/cassestes on the music system. There were also fights on-board with the crew. But one thing I noticed was that if you were nice to the crew.. they were nice to you ... but being nice meant overlooking the crew's stupidities.

On the New York - Delhi flight, I realized that these guys had the worst ground crews. The London to Delhi connection was delayed, I had to wait 6 hrs in line to get a new ticket for the next day. Passengers were almost ready to murder them.

So the moral of the story is ... avoid AI .. If you are in a jam and have to take AI ... take a direct flight only .. make sure there is only one hop.

I have also faced bad experiences several times while travelling on AI flights. Truly defined by someone:

PIA - Please Inform Allah.

AI - Already Informed !

.
 
The five commercial staffers and two pilots on board the Mumbai-Mangalore flight were de-rostered by AI.
It is also learnt that the three extra flyers, could have been the wife and children of a senior AI pilot and probably, were all accommodated in the cockpit.
 
Not only in AI, almost every government company is inefficient and unproductive. Unless and untill, the higher authorities are made accountable , govt can't improve the condition of AI. It is a burden on taxpayer.
