A passenger suffering cerebral palsy denied boarding by Air Sahara & SpiceJet.
Feel pity...ought to be.
Why an airline would do such a thing?
Guy is paying money? Yes. It increases load factor of airline? Yes. Then why?
I will tell you why?
I was there in Chennai when this incident happened. I am an airline staffer and I saw it all. To cut the story short, I will tell you what happened. When this guy was refused boarding because Sahara guys couldn't understand head-n-tail of what he was saying. HE STARTED ROLLING OVER FLOOR. Yes, "rolling over floor", just like a kid, who was just denied a lolly pop.
Suppose, if you, yourself has denied boarding by an airline, for what-so-ever excuse, would you starting rolling over floor? Imagine yourself rolling over floor. Do you think an adult guy rolling over floor qualifies, entering into a civilized social place (forget about aircraft, which requires much controlled discipline while flying). Would you allow such a guy enter your house.
It generates pity, that a handicapped person, denied boarding, just because he is handicap. Believe in an entire day we handle 2-3 wheelchair passenger almost every flight.
BUT SUCH A GUY ALONE WITHOUT ATTENDENT WHO START ROLLING OVER FLOOR; sorry a strict NO ENTRY FOR HIM. What if start doing same on flight.
The big hyppocracy on part of Media and NGOs is that they only feel pity for handicaped people in airlines, and not in railways where almost 364 times more passengers travel daily than the numbers of pax travel with all domestic airlines annually in airlines.

My Love for Airlines.....
Dear Friends,
First thing First, Once again I would like to thank you all from bottom of my heart, but by way why this phrase “bottom of my heart”, OK I do it whole heartedly. Now sounds better,for supporting & accepting me.
Well, This blog is to share few things.
As a kiddo I dreamt of being a pilot, then reality struck hard and changed my priorities to Air Hostess, but then that was not my destiny again.
I was good academically but not beautically, reason given for not selecting that they have to double the size of aisle, for me to walk through. Ha ha ha, just kidding, hey guys me not that fatso
Yes, I really love talking about Airlines, reason my passion for it & nothing else. I feel this is one place I have of my own where in I can share what is happening in this industry and may be few of us can get some benefit out if it…………….
Also, if you guys got something interesting to share about Airlines, I will be happy to post on my blog too.
So, wait till the time you get a next update from time.
Love shruti.

What we all anticipated has come true, Air Deccan has increased their price tag by Rs. 500/-. Hope this increase will give all the commuters something better to look forward from them.
I totally agree with you guys their service level has gone down and going further down day by day.
Just a Thought, does these guys have some SLA’s ( Service Level Agreement ) or not. I’m sure being such a large organization they must have & If they have who is monitoring them or verifying it.
On the contrary i have one more news to share, most of the these domestic airlines are following the foot steps of Jet & IA as far as flying international is concerned. To me its seems to be a good sign for them & US.
Fly Abroad means:
More Income –More Expansion
More Expansion – Better Services
Better Services - WE ALL ARE HAPPY FLYING J

Low Cost Flying in India - Fancy or Fantasy?
Power of cheap flying is soon going to change its meaning in this country, With the acquisition of Air Deccan by Mr.Mallaya.
There was a news around the corner that Kingfisher has bought 26% stake of Air Deccan. Frankly speaking, I'm little uncomfortable looking at Capt. Gopinath and Mallaya's union...
One believe in Luxury and style & another's belief is out and out Economy, at the cost of anything to everything ( Services best known to all of us)
Does that mean that the two different personalities will change the FACE of Low cost Airlines ?
Does that mean Air Deccan will revamp their services and follow the foot steps of Kingfisher ?
To me,there are only two major Players as low cost airlines " Air Deccan and Spice Jet." Does that mean Other Airlines do change its strategies and forget about the Common Man ?
So many more questions wandering in my mind which makes me feel...that the ERA of Low Cost Airlines is beginning to end now ?
