Dr... I did hear an overseas airline once telling BOM clearance that he could not confirm how the passengers got to the airbridge. They did not seem to see the humor in his comments!
Just like how Indian runways are never anything more than wet... Even in a monsoon rain and they are un grooved.... You can see the wheels kicking up the water as an aircraft passes... Yet they insist it is only "damp" or "wet"
Couple this with rubber all over the runway and screams to "expedite" from the controller...... Fine stuff, fine stuff!
