Why is everyone wasting time on this ?
if you're not an Air India Captain likely to be faced with the same dilemma - who cares ? and if you are, PPRuNe isn't going to be a bit of help, it's between you and your boss.
I was once an 'Observer' at an Air India accident investigation in the Bombay High Court, the presence of foreign "experts" and Press made not one jot of difference, and why should it, it's their train set.
Goodnight.
