The goats on the path of landing

I've had) strange experiences with Indian Airlines (the Government's Air in contrast to the high-class India. Your fleet, the time I flew with them for some, most, and beat up old Boeing 737Õs. However, we had a sense of trust with the pilots, the sheik were warriors, after all, and you have the feeling that if there is something wrong with the part, the mechanisms of what they do with their hammers. These were semi bomber -war, half of passengersAircraft in other words. And the overall statistics for accidents involving Indian Airlines are as low as elsewhere.

I remember the time in Bangkok, the board was waiting in the terminal for eight hours. Nobody said it was the reason, fine. Finally, the flight was canceled and we were taken away in a hotel in Bangkok's Finest style, where we have a sumptuous meal with all the amenities. The next day the car was ready to go, and I asked one of the groundStaff, what was the problem. It 'was a crack in one of the windows of the cockpit, they had to fly in one again. The first was the wrong side and the right came this morning. It was all I could think to say this.

The flight to Calcutta was like a big party. There was bottle after bottle of expensive Scotch everywhere. We maintained our own bottle and I was in India for the first time drunk.

Another time we were required to Trivandrum for almost two hoursplane on the runway. The air conditioning was not working properly and passengers were always very excited. Finally, after the start of the pilot apologized for the long delay he said he had a herd of goats somehow got through the fence and had to cross the track. To know India, was probably the single task of Herder to get them out!
