-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kanchan Pamnani Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2011 11:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AI] Letter to CEO of all airlines by DGCA Good work Asif. I am so glad that you have been able to stand up for your rights and not grumbled on the group only. Now it is for all of us to carry the CAR and this letter every time we fly. We have to be vigilant because now each of the airlines has to formulate its own policy. We must be careful that nothing discriminatory slips in. Would be grateful if you could send me the PDF letter.
