Wow KCM you seem to have a knowledge of the planned routes on the planes even before they are ordered ... Any other inputs on what is being planned in this humongous order of 100 planes _________________ Learning is not compulsory.

But Prajay posted some time ago to say that the A380 and the A330 figure on the list as well and are under consideration. About the A330, maybe it's the 9W, IT influence But could also be because the NACIL board has more IA guys now.

Finally saner heads prevail ... Hope they replace the entire inept lot of em' AI babus with IC airline professionals. If this ever happens AI could become a real competitive force _________________ Learning is not compulsory.
