Shiny new airplanes

When Air India placed a huge order for new planes in 2006, it raised a few eyebrows  for the way the order was placed. There were also questions about the need for so many long haul planes. Now those voices seem to be getting louder.

On the heals of strikes and heavy losses, comes the news that Air India now is reconsidering it's aircraft acquisition plans for the 787's. It is understandable that this is not as big an issue as the 2G scandal, but it is still big enough. As to why this not getting more attention in the media is a mystery to me.
