Tata today paid Air Asia $38 million for a eighty percent stake in their India business, as they prepare to acquire Air India. People believe it will fold into the the domestic business of Air India. The international division will emerge as a lean operation with many curtailed flights. Foreign outposts will be shut or reduced with staff cutbacks, including Singh of the IAS who runs the JFK outpost in NY. He is known to spend the day readingIndia newspapers and foraging aircraft for edibles. India's taxpayers will be rid of a burden that should have been demolished decades ago.
