Since Jet-Airways have started their North American sector this August, and also will be starting other Routes , LA to Shanghai and SanFriscisco to Shanghai , + Toronto to Mumbai etc - I would like those who have travelled or those with some knowledge about this airline to answer this question.
Do you think they will have good loads? Will this airline be able to continue as the world economy is going thru quite a crunch , as one reads from the papers as well as other media.
I understand this airline is doing well in the Domestic sector but will it enjoy the same for the international routes?
Will the Indians living in North America support the airline? or will they prefer Other Airlines for their traveling needs?
would you travel with this airline ? If so your reasons please.
Thanks

can’t say

Yes, what do you think about?

Or better yet, do you think, at all?

On September 11, 2001, he was scheduled to return to Los Angeles on American Airlines Flight 11 after being a keynote speaker at his alma-mater in Rhode Island. Due to a mix-up by his travel agent, he was told that his flight was scheduled to depart at 8:15am but it really departed at 7:45am and he had arrived at Boston Logan Airport a few minutes after boarding was stopped on his flight and he was told he would have to wait for the next flight. At 8:45am, one hour after the departure of American Airlines Flight 11, it was hijacked by terrorists and crashed into One World Trade Center (North Tower) in New York City killing all on-board. He was able to contact his parents within 20 minutes of Flight 11 striking the first tower to tell them he was okay. He said that he thanked his travel agent for screwing up the departure time or he would have been on board.

I just think that this is amazing he might not have brought us Family Guy or even American Dad!

i knew this!
aww. he was extremely lucky. <3
and i think seth is weirdly hot?
is it just me. or does anyone else think this. lol

We were recently on a transatlantic flight and apparently a lady on board suffered a stroke. This happened just as we just entered the North American coast. The flight went on for three more hours before landing. At what point do the Captains decide to land a plane so a sick person can seek care?

Airplanes have the same problem that buses or trains do. If a cross-country bus has a medical emergency, what should it do? Pull over at a truck stop? Continue on to a destination with sophisticated medical care? The same applies to a train: does it screech to a halt at the next station, no matter what, or does it continue to a town with a decent hospital?

The captain decides based on the advice of medical personnel (on board or by radio), as previously described. The medical specialists will give the captain an idea of what level of medical care is required, and in what time frame. Based on that, the captain will decide whether to divert immediately, divert later to a different destination, or simply continue on to the original destination. He has to also consider the time required to land, and the various airports that are reachable, in terms of distance and likelihood of having the right facilities nearby.

It takes at least 20-30 minutes to land even if the aircraft is ideally position relative to the airport. It takes another 20 minutes or more to transport the patient. If the patient needs care within 3 minutes to survive, there’s no much point in trying to divert—you just do what you can on board. If the patient can be stabilized and will not be in danger of life or death over the short term, you can continue on to your destination. If special care is required within a time frame that matches your ability to land at an airport where that care is available, it might be worthwhile to divert. If you divert to an airport that is 80 miles from the nearest hospital with the right facilities, though, diversion might be even worse than just flying on.

It can be a delicate call, since it depends both on medical factors and on practical aviation factors. But nobody dives to the ground and lands instantly—that only happens in the movies.

If a person actually dies on board, the most reasonable option is to simply continue on to the destination.

White House prepared to open U.S. air routes to Canada, Mexico

An author and investigative journalist says the Bush administration is working on a plan that would essentially erase national borders for air carriers, perhaps paving the way for Mexican and Canadian airlines to compete with U.S. carriers for American domestic and international routes.

At an April meeting in Tucson, U.S. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters met with her Canadian and Mexican counterparts to discuss the initial "North American Transportation Trilateral." At the meeting, which went virtually unreported by the American mainstream media, Secretary Peters noted that agreements with the two countries — a 2005 air services agreement with Mexico, and the Open Skies accord signed with Canada in March — lift restrictions on continental travel, effectively providing for "free and open trans-border Air Travel."

Dr. Jerome Corsi says the agreements, which are part of President Bush’s controversial Security and Prosperity Partnership, will throw open lucrative U.S. air routes. "So Mexicana can fly from Los Angeles to New York, or New York to Paris, or New York to Las Vegas — anywhere they want to go inside the United States as if they were U.S. airline," he explains.

The Mexican Congress stopped the Secretary of Transport from the USA, and the Mexican Secretary of Communications and Transport dead on their tracks, it will never happen, the USA, doesn’t allow the Mexican trucks to cross into their territory, we will never allow the air free space for any reason inside our air space.

Don’t you see the jobs being eliminated, moved overseas, low paying wages that wont even cover the gas to get to the job?

Ford announced it will cut about 2,260 more white-collar employees in North America as it tries to weather the worst economic downturn in decades.

American Airlines cut nearly 7,000 jobs to offset the pain of rising fuel price.

Software giant Oracle moved 2,000 developer jobs from the United States to India.

Hewlett-Packard announced plans to close a customer-service operation in Florida and send the operation’s 1,200 jobs overseas, again to India.

By 2010 a total of 1,591,101 American jobs will be moved overseas ending jobs for Americans.

I’m in college, and it’s a scary thing we as students talk about and debate on that with the high price of an education and then wonder if a job will be there when we earn our degrees.
Hey Evil, I work 30 hours a week on campus. I don’t have a car, so I’m limited on where I can work. Thanks.
PerSepHonE - exactly, they now deflect on my question, and later will still bash the poor for being lazy. But wont see reason that jobs are leaving us, unemployment is rising, and all they can do is pass the blame onto others instead of a solution.

Typical!
Incognito - I didn’t say ALL republicans, I said for the one’s that are making those comments on this forum. The are sounding off that the poor, jobless are lazy and just don’t want to work and that’s why Obama was elected.

But thank you for your post, and eveyone who is answering, and not being rude or using hate filled ignornace.

Good post. But be more specific. Not all Republicans are like that.

The ones who are don’t give a damn about the harm they do the United States. They are the ones who created this problem–and if they can make 5 bucks by destroying a person’s life, they don’t give a s**t. Look at the whining they are doing over the small tax increase Obama has proposed.

These people are takers–not contributors to our society. And–as you say, you’re still in college. Watch them ine veryday life. You will ind–without exception–that the ones with that attitude didn’t actually earn their money. They got it by inheriing it at best. More oftenthey got it by unethical business practices. On the job, they never do any work—everyone else has to pick up the slack. Like I said –watch them and see for yourself.

We all know about the telephone calls make by passengers/Cabin Crew, from the 2nd,3rd and 4th, hijacked planes on 911, but where there any calls made by passengers/crew from the 1st plane , American Airlines Flight 11, which crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center.Can anyone throw some light on this ?

They didn’t call anyone because they didn’t know what was happenning. They thought that it was a routine hyjacking and that everyone would be fine.

My teacher is having my class write a letter to a supposed “future student” telling them what happen in 9/11 and how we can remember it. This is what I have so far but It has to be 12. Single space, Times New Roman Anyway do your have any idea for some filler stuff to make it longer?

“Dear future student,
On September 11th 2001 The United States of America changed for ever. At 8:46 AM American Airlines Flight 11 crash into the north building of the Wold Trade Center. At first it appeared to be a accident however at 9:03 AM this theory was confirmed to be false, United 175 hit the south tower of the World Trade Center. At this point it was clear this was no accident, I was planned, it was an act of terrorism. For half an hour the nation watches in fear listening to false reports of hijacked planes until 9:37 AM when another plane, American Airlines flight 77 crashes into the west wall of the Pentagon’s E-Ring. One last plane United 93 crashed into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:06 because passengers were able to over take the hijackers but could not fly the plane. It is belied that flight 93 was headed for the white house. In all on September 2,998 people died, over 6,300 were injured in this horrific event. Not to mention the many people who now suffer from cancer and other life threatening diseases that were caused by the asbestos and other harmful chemicals used to build the towers. The group who holds responsibility is the terrorist group Al-Qaeda lead by Osama Bin Laden. Starting in 1988 Al-Qaeda has been attacking nations they believe are changing Islam. That is when the US started the “War on Terror” in which unfortonatly, we have not yet captured Osama Bin Laden. September 11th was a tragic day, many died and the country should come together, lower our flags and remember this day by having a moment of silence, a moment of silence for those who lost their life because of the horror of 9/11″
