I know we all love to shit on Air India or PIA but a travel crisis like this shows you how important it is to have a national carrier. You control the country’s travel destiny not some Arab Carrier.

Not sure what you mean but if you meant evacuations then the IAF is perfectly capable of doing it as they are currently doing and have done so in the past. It's cheaper for Indian taxpayers to even have a few commercial airlines parked for such emergencies that IAF pilots can easily fly rather than to throw away billions on a non performer like Air India.. Or to continue to throw billions to try and save the billions that have already been lost.

It’s not just evacuations, that’s a tiny part of traffic.

It’s critical cargo, medicines, passengers, traveling to and from the country

In times of crisis, yes.

Doesn’t change the fact that at least PIA is terrible lol - no first hand experience with Air India.

PIA: Please Inform Allah 🥺😩😬

Having travelled both I can tell you PIA is definitely better

err I would like PIA to go bankrupt at this very moment. An efficient run national airline is one thing, but a white elephant run on tax payers expense because it is a job factory for politicians is not my cup of tea.

That’s just the nature of bureaucracy. But there’s benefits to it.

MOSS ADAMS SoCal (Irvine, San Diego, LA) BRS people can you please provide some insight? I spoke to an experienced hire recruiter today and he said the company is moving to a hybrid model to include more in-person time between clients and staff. How often are you traveling to client sites and the office? is it as much as audit 2-3 weeks living in a hotel or sitting in the client's office? or maybe once a month? or are you working mostly remote? Thank you.

How much travel would you consider to be reasonable on a daily basis for a client?
