From: Mario Rebello <mario_rebe...@hotmail.com> Re: [Goanet] Letter to the Editor - Air India recent Plane Tyre Burst
Thank you Dr., for your realistic comments and support to the Gulfies in your response. You have indeed clearly explained to what I meant by de-fleeting in my e-mail. Yes, the civil aviation authorities could easily allocate this route to either Kingfisher or Jet Airways who offer better service and cheaper fares. Tony, if you have never travelled to the Gulf by AI or any other airline, I would advise you to refrain commenting on this concern of us. We know what we are experiencing on these ageing A320 Airbus aircrafts and that?s the reason I have invited you to be my guest to travel at my expense to Kuwait and experience it for yourself. Cheers !!

However as I had said that I had never traveled to the Gulf on AI or any other airline, Mario has made a very generous offer to broaden my travel education (by Air India). As an educator (retired albeit) I am compelled to graciously accept the offer so that in turn I may pass on the fruits of my education to others. Cheers, Doc, its always nice to discuss issues with you. Hope it is sunny in the Bahamas. Never been there too. -- "Tony de Sa" < tonydesa at gmail dot com>
