Cattle class

Air India has been known for several thing - poor service, crappy equipment, awful food (yes, British and Lufthansa have better food) among other things... they have added one more thing - a new meaning to the word "cattle class".

100 people missed their connections in Bombay (or is it Mumbai?!?). After being stuck in Bombay for 36 hours, Air India stuffs them on the flight next day - that is 25% of a normal passenger load on a 747. How do you do that? If you were an Air India staff, you take those passengers and stuff them at the crew stations for the period of the flight (Bombay to London). What???!? Shocking...

I guess cattle on the road, cattle in the farm and cattle in the sky... life as an Indian.
