Don't forget the caning????

I've been very clear on this from the get go. Barring the extraordinary, there is absolutely no legitimate reason for an overstay. I've been here for 13 years and I've never overstayed because I know the law and the rules and I follow them. If you think that is wrongheaded, there's nothing I can say.

Best Thai name I've heard in a while. 

Yeah, I had a student named Bang-on last year. It's one of the best names I've heard.

When I was teaching in China I had a female student whose nickname was  Food. I asked her why she picked that name and she said, "I like food!"

I said yeah man, me too and laughed.

What would she be guilty of ? Receiving money isn't a crime. Pure speculation that she somehow forced him to send money, or told him to kill someone. It would probably be part of the investigation, looking at correspondence etc, to see if anyone else was involved..

 

Well, it would appear that you may be speculating he just sent her all the money and she asked for nothing. Maybe even told him she was fine financially and to not send money. 

My angle has the larger possibility of being accurate.

are you kidding? she is opening a class in Khon Kaen to teach other Thai women how to do this.

Awesome! Thanks for the smile. Nice to see someone who is thinking outside the box ????

This type of activity is dangerous and despicable. If caught, those kids should see jail time.

I expect the Thai pilot's union to file a grievance over this. 

The pax were upgraded and went back to business class. That's not horrible.

Why is nothing being done about this Thai lady? She could have pushed and persuaded him to send all he had, borrow and then kill to send more if necessary. Cyber bullying has sent people away before. She may not be, and is probably not, completely innocent here.

There's no excuse for what dude did, but I have my doubts it was an entirely one sided affair.

Bye bye thief. 

My brother, who was 40 something at the time, forged my widowed mother's name on a bank loan for a new car. $10,000. Think about it. They give car loans away in Canada to anyone. But,my brother was a useless lying POS. He reneged and never made a payment. I begged mom to have him arrested but she wouldn't. Thankfully he's dead now. 

Isn't it shocking that people in this position have to order people in those positions to do their jobs safely? Good God, what an absolute joke.

That is a seriously nice boat.

This is new. Usually they just flee. This dude fled in a friend's set of wheels. Cool.

At least the plane landed safely. That's good news. Looks like I'll choose to not follow this beacon of light!

I'd expect a 10% loss. I'd also expect to have a better plan for contingencies in the future.

What a fool. Lock him up until he gives up the details of every person on that disgusting food chain above him. Then, keep him locked up but feed him a bit better.

I still maintain my questioning as to whether this person is female or not. Perhaps one of those new pronouns Jordan Peterson refuses to use would suffice.

I've been teaching over 13 years: Korea, Laos and China. These sound like Korean kids to me and I have experienced this behaviour. 

I would plan fun games to play in class and count the bad kids out. They can't play. I'd completely ignore them and so would the rest of the class. These people are lost when they are ostracized from the group. They soon get the point and behave accordingly and my experience has been there's always one who starts and becomes the defacto policeman of the group keeping them in line. 

When the rest of the class are laughing and having fun and the baddies are being ignored they tend to straighten up. 

Not saying this is for you, but I've tried it and it worked for me.

I watch most of Ramsey's shows but this was by far the best of them.

Kinda thinking about the shoe being on the other foot thoughts here.

"...the world's deepest depths."

As opposed to the world's shallowest depths? The world's almost deepest depths?

Seriously, who writes this cr@p?

Looks like any old regular pile of junk left behind by low life losers. But, what's up with the used tire? That one is a mystery to me.

Cost effective ? After you spent months on full pay by deliberately gaming the system :

I would go months at times without ever seeing the inside of an airplane, going for a couple or 3 weeks was normal.

 

Of course, this didn't affect my pay. I was on call, after all, which means on duty. I just wasn't flying  “

No dude, now we understand why airfares are so expensive, paying for free loading bludgers to do nothing.

 And people operating public transport, be it busses or planes, should not be working while they are tired.

Dude, who doesn't take advantage of a system? You're dumb not to. And airfares are expensive for many reasons, employee salaries and fuel being numbers 1 and 2. However, most airlines have 10% of their flight crews on call every day. That's SOP to cover stuff just like this. People on call are not freeloaders, man. Can't you understand that? They're on call. It's not like they can go out boozing with the boys. They gotta be ready to go to work. When I was on call we had a 2 hour window to show up and punch in from the time we received a call when we had to go.

The bottom line here is this: If you haven't done the job you don't understand the job. That is it. That is all.

Not sure what a bludger is. I think it's the thing quidditch players hit in Harry Potter novels.

And what does 'just come from the gym' mean?

 

Does that mean there's some additional special planning  dispensation or whatever because 'just come from the gym?

 

 

It means exactly what it means. Your response is absurd and argumentative and a strawman argument.
