    Could you please transcribe what the heck is being said in this ad, the first one on this page[^]? This is a Broadway style musical for an Indian airline. Most of it is said too quickly for me.

        We're here to be the model of a modern global airline an ambitious mission we remind ourselves of all the time. flying more than ever with a flock of new planes in our fleet you'll be greeted once you're seated by many captains just like me. took a few tries but I like Gilbert and Sullivan so it was more a treat than a torture.

                      Umm no. You mean HMS Pinafore, but this is the tune of The Major-General's Song from The Pirates of Penzance.

                          Perhaps I can take another stab at it later. It was 4:22 am in my time zone when you posted this message, and now I'm at work and can't do it here.
