now I can't control myself and will have to tell about my first flight.  It was a window seat, and right besides me was a Sardarji.  The moment plane took off, poor chap got terrified and clutched my arm by both his hands and said that it was his first flight.  I confidenlty replied,"Bhaisab, aisa hi hota hai".


cheers!!

Started my flying in the year 1976.


Started flying aggressively in the year 2003.


Will document some memories and yes some nostalgic moments.


Awesome airlines include : AirIndia. British Airways. Sabena. KLM. Air France. Northwest. Indian. Jet Airlines. Air Deccan. Go Air. Royal Jordanian. Virgin Atlantic. Qantas. Continental. Delta. Emirates. Gulf Air. Saudia. Royal Nepal Airlines. Jagson Airlines. Paramount Airways.


I could go on and on....but have travelled on board about 63 of our customers and yes i did not pay a dimebecause i was on duty

Air Deccan is nick named by me as AIR DHAKKAN so no comments needed there.


Royal Nepal a/c was so patched up that when we took off.....it was almost nearing the fence and i shouted....ATTA UP BOY....or we will be history.


Jagsons only flight i flew was to pant nagar.....and since then they are up with some story or the other about their flight cancellations..


My experiences with Northwest or more aptly called as NW can be summed up as:



  1. Now What?

  2. No Way

  3. Normal Waste

Out of the above, my experiences with Erstwhile Sabena, Alitalia, AirIndia and yes AirFrance have been not only best but also memorable.

So i guess that the Flight Catering Officer is to be blamed.


Generally the catering company is held responsible. Because merely what the airline cabin crew does is remove the food from the food trolley and serve passengers. So it would have been improbable to say that the a/h knew about it.


Did you write to the airline about the broken tray....if yes, what was the response you got!

The Catering Dept is Def Responsible for Inspecting & Packing the Food trays for service.Someone has goofed up & there should be accountability.
