EVERYTHING OVER-AGED IS NOT OUTDATED !

with 2 comments

         During the Question Hour on 18.12.2008 on the subject of Delay in Flight
Operations,  Hon’ble  MP  Shri  Varkala  Radhakrishnan  said:    “Fog  is  one  of  the
reasons for delay.  Apart from fog, outdated aircraft are being operated with a
view to encourage private airlines; if Air India operates like this, people would
prefer private airlines …. “
         To this, the Hon’ble Speaker remarked:  “Shri Radhakrishnan, for outdated
people,  they  are  providing  outdated  aircraft—like  me,  you  and  others!    They
want us to go along with the outdated aircraft! “
         Responding  to  that,  hon.  Civil  Aviation  Minister,  Shri  Praful  Patel  said: 
“Sir, let me assure you – everything over-aged is not outdated!” and the House
burst into laughter.
