And this is why when Air India lands in EWR and rarely contacts ground the controller shouts, "Look out everyone, Air India just landed and he's on a mission."

I could pretty much take a guess as to what happened in that flight deck.

Air India Cockpit approaching JetBlue:
FO: Sir I think we should stop.
CAPT: (Looks at FO) Did I ask for your opinio (crunch)

I have heard that CRM is an unheard of term with them.

Yeah crm doesn't exist and while the airplanes are decent, the culture is draconian. Its one of the main reasons i haven't pursued flying in the motherland.

How do we know that it wasn't Jetblue's fault and/or the ramp crew of the Jetblue aircraft and/or improper signage/taxiway markings?
