Air India is horrible in true sense..
But I m nt sure privatisation alone can change things there..
The union, mentality of ppl and the typical culture needs a holistic change..
I look at something like IndiGo or even Vistara or Jet.. they have happily got the market bcz our guys in Air India give them a advantage..
Last I heard Emirates and other airlines of the region giving the air India pilots 1.5X pay package to join..
Good they should go and get the shock.. no airlines tolerate such lack of discipline and callous attitude as displayed by air India ppl time and again.. when they go, get the shock and get booted then only they will understand how they have caused harm to the country and themselves
