There's no point in shedding tears over Air Deccan.Its a time when the fittest can only survive. Its true that Air Deccan created a niche for itself with a segment that perhaps could never have flew without DEccan around. But I do have reservations of the word 'low cost carrier'! Its a low cost if and only if your travel is planned a month in advance. For last minute travellers, you pay more, sit on a dingy flight and if the hand luggage has some different dimensions, keep it near your leg and travel hours without food and water. Add to it is the delays and cancellations that became the trademark of Capt.Gopinath. Now that it has fallen it Vijay Mallaya's hand, things can only be better.
