Got some presonal emails asking the details.
Here is more info
The flight time was 4:00 PM in the evening. No passenger was sleeping.
Its very natural for kids to get irritated while in flight(ear popping etc)
The passengers were actually trying help the mother.
Dear Lakshmi
Thanks for the posting and bringing out my plight. Fellow passengers, I had this unfortunate experience that lakshmi has described. Suffice it to say that I will never ever fly air-dekkan again. I don’t think that complaining is an option here since first of all they don’t listen(its air-deccan) and then pilots are in short supply so even if they are idiots, airlines might not do a lot against them.
My sincere request to you all, avoid air-deccan like plague and save your respect. If you fly once in 3/4 months or less then I think spending 1000/1500 rs. more for jet etc. is so worth it.
Another request to all other airlines, please avoid hiring idiots like pilot gupta and stewardess uma from air-deccan. please keep your airlines clean from these jerks.

Fly Air Deccan if you want to be treated as animals.
===================================
Last week I flew air-deccan from bombay to bangalore. There was a mother and a kid on board. The kid was just 2/3 yrs old and started crying soon after take off. Mother was doing her best to keep him calm. The air-hostess uma came up and asked if she can help. Upon asking if she had any toys or warm milk, she said no. The kid kept crying and the air-hostess kept coming back and asking why would he not stop. After the third time, the mother snapped and told the air-hostess to go away.
Now this idiot air-hostess took it personally and want into the cockpit and informed the pilot. The pilot Mr. gupta(another idiot, calls himself captain gupta) came out and started talking to the mother in a loud voice. he told her that the kid is disturbing other passengers and if he won’t shut up, he will land the plane to a nearby airport and they will have to get out of the plane.
Some passengers tried to reason that its a small kid. and they are really not disturbed. Its ok for them. To that the idiot pilot responded saying that you don’t come in between and we know what we are doing.
I saw all this and I can clearly see that it can be me in her place next time. So no air-deccan for me ever.
The cabin crew is an idiot and the pilots are egoistic morons. they act like highly paid drivers unworthy of any respect.
air-deccan is truely a low cost airline. the air-hostesses are cheap and pilots also act like true drivers with a big ego. bloody idiots.
