A question to the author of the post with the above subject line, Mr. Mario Rebello:
Sir do you scrap a car, even a new car when one or more of its tires burst? The pictures you have shown in your post merely refer to cosmetic blemishes. The broken toilet seat that you have so thoughtfully and painstakingly photographed, what aspect of operational performance of the aircraft does it compromise? For that matter which of the pictures you have clicked compromise the safety of the aircraft? And BTW who do you think has broken the seat, some uncouth passenger who has stood on the seat? Please do not misunderstand me. I am not absolving AI for the cosmetic state of the aircraft. But to consider scrapping a plane merely because a tyre or two of them burst is ridiculous. -- "Tony de Sa" < tonydesa at gmail dot com>
