I would agree with what Rahul Bajaj has to say on this. Don't bail out anyone, particularly private. Instead take a look at the system. They are looting airlines at the same time expecting them to provide affordable services. It is easy for Air India to do that as it has a maai baap who will keep giving it cash sops at frequent intervals, and there also is no responsibility towards anyone as they don't have any shareholders to report to. Air India can go to hell for all they care, they will move to BSNL next.
