This will be a big step towards joining *A - and I do hope that AI are able to accomplish that fairly soon. I know many folks (including myself) would prefer to fly AI via DEL T3 instead of LH via FRA. Better food/ drinks and IFE would help big time _________________ We miss you Nalini!

This is the second date in fact, the first being pushed because of the IC staffers snarling at unequal pay. _________________ Yeah.

I hope the IC issues have been attended to peacefully in a way that has not yet made it to the papers. I also see the Flying Returns webpage unavailable till 28 Feb - so I guess the turnaround to a single code will take place around midnight - the midnight of the 27th. Again, I find myself flying around the cusp period: 27 Feb BOM-DEL and 02 March DEL-BOM. I'll watch this space for up-to-date information on the same. The AI and IC webpages still do not reflect any change, or any announcement to this effect. Cheers, Sumantra.

I tried to web check-in for my flight tomorrow - the `new' check-in page did not work. I tried the next best option - to tele-check-in. This worked, and the answer I got for the non-functional web check-in page was... that they were in a software upgrade process. The 27 Feb date now looks very realistic! Cheers, Sumantra.

They already conducted 2 successful dry-runs, so I hope this time IC pilots don't screw things up. _________________ Causal Determinism : We are hardwired to need answers.

Just goes to show, how anything connected to the government equates to disaster, a merger supposed to be complete in an year takes 4, and usually court cases in the country take an average 10 years. _________________ Causal Determinism : We are hardwired to need answers.
