Jump to postRoy,
Actually I stay in Andheri. Early morning when the traffic is less, it takes around 15 minutes to the domestic terminal.
Yeah, EHF had the strange blue slash across the tail but so did EGG which I took on my way back to BOM.
The seats were new but rest of the interior looked quite old.

Jump to post...but it lacks the best thing that a pilot has: judgement.
If you go through the NTSB reports you will find more than a few crashes/emergencies that were due to lack of pilot judgement.
A lot of accidents have been averted due to JUDGEMENT.
