Misery of Air Travel

The article reads well and is humurous. But the experience of customers of Airlines is nothing but misery.The cost in a way has come down,but the time taken to reach airports particularly in Bangalore and Hyderabad takes away the very charm of flying.Here they have consulted only politicians and not economists to have air ports far far away from cities. Taxi owners have a good time in these air ports is a fact which cannot be ignored although it adds misery to air travellers.King Fisher a brand got suppport from growing upper middleclass of the society who took it as a pride and prestige to be a frequent flier in that airlines and perhaps enjoyed a bit of nice hospitality and VIP treatment in its initial days.It is a fact King Fisher brought misery and suffering not only for all classes of travellers,but also for the Govt and Public Sector Undertakings which include banks and oil Companies.Flying has become a nightmare for average citizen and even for high class citizens thanks to KF

MBA graduates and PSUs

Are PSUs unable to provide a conducive work envrionment to management graduates?

The work culture in PSUs will not suit the management graduates. What the executives do in a month in PSUs, these management graduates will do in a two or three days. Their thinking, and taking decisions are faster and their patience level is low. They are result oriented and their temperments will not suit the PSU culture. Inefficiency, delay,procrastination normally seen in majority of the PSUs are beyond the tolerable level of any modern management graduate. The systems and procedures in vogue in majority of PSUs cannot be acceptable to these graduates as they are for quick decisions and results which is something difficult if one adheres to the systems and procedures which are outdated and illogical to the present requirements. These modern graduates are ambitious and have high aspirations which our PSUs cannot meet. They expect to reach the top early where as seniority and promotion avenues in PSUs do not permit these graduates to go beyond certain levels.The realities are different in PSUs and these graduates cannot cope with that is the reality why they do not stick on to PSUs for long.
