Thanks guys

These Shapers are the one’s who try and sabotage the essence of blogs. I don’t know if Appu and Shaper have anything to do with KingFisher.

Shamelessly, this guy has the audacity of calling himself Shaper, and not even give a link back to his site. Hiding behind a mask, yeah?

Well, Now you’d ask me why I am doing the same. Isn’t it obvious? I don’t want a Shaper to skew another decent online discussion forum for like minded people.

PK: Kudos, for the post.

It takes real guts to admit your own felony, which you did in the first couple of lines, but it takes a Shaper to misinterpret and change the course of media.

I don’t think the visitors will be blinded by what Shaper has to say, but what THEY understand.

Long live truth.

I doubt some guys understand what “RUDE” even means.

I believe PK very clearly indicated the “condescending” attitude and not the actual situation. To the latter he readily admitted was not the airline’s fault.

I’m sorry sir but we can’t help bcos…
Vs.
KF: “No there is no other option, it’s a favor we are doing to the customers. This is the only option we have.”

Anyway you look at it..it is RUDE and condescending.

WOW! I cant believe this got so badly misinterpreted. PK! Anybody who understands the blog would have agreed with you.

Have fun!

I had mentioned in the begining of the post itself that I was late, I guess the post came out more like a rant. Let me explain.

1. I totally understand I was late, and I had no issues for not being onboard nor with the personnel I interacted with.
2. I was not expecting to be reimbursed
3. Paying the difference amount was never an issue if I dint have to travel the same evening I would have taken the what was offered
4. I dint expect them to go beyond their call of duty.

I did expect them to be polite, especially when I was being polite and I did not make any unreasonable requests. I was enquiring if I had any other option.

May be the person attending me was having a bad day, but dose that give them the right to be rude?

Picture this:

1)Lets assume, One night you were very hungry and on your way back home you wanted to get some dinner, you stop by a restaurant to pick up dinner.
It’s very late and they are about to close, you ask them if you can get something to eat, the waiter says “Sorry Sir, we are closed”. If you had come a little early you would have got something to eat. Come back tomorrow if you would like to eat.

You are hungry now. You want dinner now. Will coming back tomorrow help you?

Was “Come back tomorrow if you would like to eat.” Required? That’s all I was saying.

Now picture this,

2) Lets say the waiter had empathized with my situation and responded
Waiter:“ I am sorry sir, we are closed”

Me: Ohh, that’s really terrible, I am really starving wouldn’t it be possible to do something about it please.

Waiter: I understand Sir, but there is nothing much I can do for you, the kitchen is closed, I would have been happy to help.

I hope I made my point. I dint expect them to give me any special treatment for my mistake, all I expected them was not to be rude either. It was not a favor, what they had offered me was an option which dint work for me. And that’s really fine. But the “FAVOR” part was not.

I rest my case.

1) You missed your flight through your own stupid fault.

So, erm, why do you expect special treatment? If you screw up, you screw up, and you live with the consequences.

If I buy cinema tickets and then don’t show up until half-way through the film, is the cinema forced to reimburse me, or allow me entry to a later showing of the film? No, of course not. In fact, does the cinema even allow me into the later showing without buying another ticket? No, of course not.

You actually got better-than-required service after *you* *alone* made a stupid mistake, and now you’re complaining that the special treatment you got wasn’t good enough?

Talk about ungrateful.

2) Despite the fact you’d obviously ordered a heavily discounted ticket, they offered to squeeze you on the next flight available as a favour to you - at 06:00AM.

Now, that flight was no use to you, but what did you expect them to do? Charter a whole plane just for you? For free? Buy you a full-price ticket at one of their rival airlines?

The simple fact is that *you* turned up too late and missed your flight. *You* also caught a flight which allowed you *no* spare time in case you missed it - a double screw-up on *your* part.

They offered the best alternative they could (even though you obviously had a heavily discounted ticket), and it wasn’t good enough for you.

You screwed up, and you alone. They did everything it was within their power to help you out, and all you can do is bitch and whine that it wasn’t good enough.

Man up, take responsibility for your own cock-ups and stop whining.

Sure, there are a million things to bash to airline companies for, but this is not one of them.

I personally have used Jet Airways, and always found aprompt and pleasent service. Thats one of the reason i don’t mind paying for a higher fair.
