Aero-News Quote Of The Day (01.17.05)

Aero-News: Quote of the Day

ANN's Quote of the Day usually derives from current news, though we reserve the right to pick quotes out of history that have a bearing on the day's events and issues.

Sometimes, you'll find them timely and in keeping with the content of the day's news... and sometimes, they'll just be thought-provoking.

Reader suggestions and comments are welcome... and if particularly intriguing, timely, or poignant, may themselves become future Quotes of the Day.

Let us hear from you, folks!

Aero-News Quote of the Day

"I want to make Air-India an airline of international standards and because of you idiots we get a bad name! If there is a delay, inform the bloody passengers."

Source: India's Minister for Civil Aviation, Praful Patel, in a phone call to the general manager of Air India. Patel, on his way to Washington to sign an Open Skies agreement with Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta, was kept waiting along with the rest of the passengers on the flight to the US for more than three hours, before finally grabbing a phone and reading the hapless executive the riot act.
