BKK - frequencies increased to 11 weekly nonstop flights from BAH i.e. weekly A 332 + 10 weekly A 343s.

This makes perfectly good business sense. All they need to do now is to ensure the aircrafts are in good working order.

GF is not bragging. Increasing India destinations and frequencies is purely a business decision. In fact, GF is looking at making all the India destinations turn around flights for the crews.
I, for one, will not be enjoying crossing the Arabian sea/Indian Ocean evey couple of days. But if it means good business, I will simply do my job.
