Flights of Fantasy

The above is anything but apt for the current scenario in the Indian Aviation sector. As a to-be MBA, the dude with dreams in his eyes looks forward to flying biz class and rub shoulders with the doyens of corporate india. But with the current revolution in the industry and with the mantra of providing highest value to the customer(which means lower cost!!! especially for travel), the MBA ends up rubbing shoulders with the who's this? of the country. While i have nothing against this trends of the aviation sector going mass, the whole point is that the MBA dreams have continued to remain just that. And so, for no fault of his and not getting paid the daily minimum wage for the hardship that he is put through, the dreamy-eyed-konsultant has to stand in a long queue that builds up one hour before the scheduled departure because the low-cost carrier has decided not to number the seats(it is just a bloody number that doesnt mean anything) and the crowd is well......more mass and so the line between a bus and a plane gets blurred beyond the point of distinction.....And while the low-cost carrier claims that 98% of the flights are on time, the konsultant finds himself always ending up on the remaining 2% flights.....and so while the painful wait frays the nerves of the junta who make these long lines that go into the security check area(ok ok, i might be exaggerating a lil but i am a man of vision!!!), people start revealing their darker side..... parallel lines, curves, semi-parabolas and other curves that can be described only by complex lagrangian equations and would probably give coordinate geometry mathematicians tiny orgasms start forming.......my prediction is that the cost structure has hit the lowest low and will increase due to increased cost for crowd control measures.....and the unfortunate consultant gets his scissors confiscated as they are in the cabin baggage.....For christ's sake, the only person i would try to stab would be Mr.Bush who would not be on the flight anyways(it would also include a bunch of people varying from time to time but im pretty harmless)....And then another moment of truth(okie marketing guys, hold it now), and he is being transported to the aircraft..the highly competitive indian(who is taking over a lotta companies as you know by now) hits upon this brilliant idea to get down first. He will stand near the entrance and make it seem crowded. Any effort to move him would gain you so much ground that would put us to shame for handing over vast tracts to our neighbours. The effort of the staff to adjust the same would only invite angry hisses and scary glares.
