Jail sentence for abusing the phrase "Catch-22"

A fortnight ago, I finished reading Catch-22.  It was the second time around, and am amazed at how much I had missed out when reading it earlier on in my life.  I suppose life's experiences makes us appreciate the works in literature all the more, and is perhaps even a wasted exercise if such books were designated as required readings for the youth.

Damn, as whoever said it, both education and youth are wasted on the young!

At least phrase "Catch-22" being abused by youth is pardonable.  But, when adults use it in order to suit their conveniences, then we ought to drive them out of town.  Here is an example:

Indian Minister for Civil Aviation Praful Patel has fired back at a comptroller and auditor general (CAG) report claiming Air India (AI) is in a financial mess largely because of its buying and leasing of new aircraft, according to India’s NDTV.com. In the report, the CAG singled out decisions made by Patel in his previous two terms and the airline’s management for the problems.
But Friday, Patel responded in an interview with the Times of India, saying the CAG's observations are with the benefit of hindsight.
"Air India was functioning with planes that were 20 years old. We were in a catch-22 situation. If we wanted to do well, we needed new aircraft but were also aware that the company's financial situation would not have permitted it. 

Air India's financial mess is not a Catch-22, but is a result of boneheaded policies and inept management.

In Catch-22, Yossarian doesn't want to fly anymore bombing missions.  To be exempted, he has to be certified as unfit because, after all, only crazy people would want to go on those missions.  But, the mere fact that Yossarian would ask for an examination of his own sanity reveals that he is not insane and, ergo, he is fit.  If he is fit, Yossarian cannot be declared unfit by the doctor.

Even if the minister thinks Air India is a Yossarian, well, Air India is the doctor too on account of it being a government undertaking.  When owned by the government, operated by the government, well, hey, there is no Catch-22 excuse here.  He could claim that Air India is run like the US military:

"There's a right way, a wrong way and the army way." (Which meant: Do things my way, right or wrong.)

Incidentally, I was recently asked by "J" about Air India.  I replied, "stay away from it."  And then added, "in all my years of flying to India, I have never been on Air India.  Within India, now that there are other airlines, I fly Air India only if I cannot avoid it."
