When we have to evacuate our fellow Indians from Gulf during war it was this Airlines which rendered its service. Hope emirate do the same or Jet or Kingfisher engage their planes to transfer our brave soldiers to places to protect our country or evacuate fellow Indians...So that you people can evade tax in cosy corner of palatial house and watch the war lying at your bed room Do you know that Erstwhile Indian Airlines Now Air India is second line of defence in India? whenever there is requirement of shifting thousands of soldiers or paramiltary forces to our border or to fight with natural calamities this poor airlines a/c were being engaged to carry out the service.

The Government of India’s policy was a one way street that is to allow foreign carriers (and by that I mean all Gulf carriers) to base their India strategies on market demands, but imposed bizarre and mind-boggling restrictions on what Indian carriers could do.

I've am a supporter of giving free and open access to foreign carriers in the Indian market which should be driven by market demands provided there is fair competition for the Indian carriers to take on the onslaught.

If Indian carriers are given a fair chance I am sure we don’t need Emirates to be our national carrier as some of the products and service offered on Indian carriers are far superior if not better then the established legacy carriers.

Then the like of Air India (IA too) might as well recoup some of their costs by filling up the airplane. Here in the US, the House and Senate leadership can requisition a USAF Gulfstreams to 'stand by just in case' (so now the USAF needs about $550 million more of these types to provide the necessary lift). This makes it difficult for the commercial airlines. If the 10-12 people in the typical Senate/House majority leadership entourage flew commercial (business class ofcourse, as not all of us are equal when it comes to going home after a legisative session), the fortunes of United, AA etc would improve substantially and the country would make a dent in the current deficits. But I predict that there will always be a 'flag' carrier everywhere in the world and these will be taxpayer financed.
