WHats the worst that could happen if you see her? You realize that you do have feelings for her?

If you do avoid her then you will have doubts. Face the situation and see if it works out and where you stand. Don`t run away. Do one or the other. Stop talking to her making it where she feels your hinting you may get together and make it a clean break or keep seeing her and see where things lead. But do`n expect the best of both worlds its not fair to her.

Suck it up and do the time as he did the crime

He got caught breaking the rules

I do not feel sorry for this guy at all.

How some know Thai culture better then the Thai people

How many ways can the question be asked about getting a Thai visa and circumventing the rules and regulations

Why do Thai people do things so differently

Why cant some use google or such and do a search before asking some of the questions I have seen

Not all questions are related to Thailand but more so to specific groups that turn into either love ins or hate fests.

there is more about this here.

more on this

In the pilots forum no one seems to it was that big a deal and very minor and more then likely a slow day for news.

Thai Air seems to be still denying this.

Just called them and after 5 redirects reached the Manager of crisis control. She completely denied any accident.

They seemed very secretive and worried whom am I working for, to degree it was difficult to even get her/their names.

Nothing happened was the final answer.

Ask them if there was an incident not an accident and see what they say. Call the airport up and get their side. Thai air has a pilot group? If so call them and see what they say.

Having worked as an extra on a number of t.v shows/movies I have seen my shoulder and ear and back and I am sure that smudge out of focus shape in the distant background was me maybe.

As for the Vp not knowing anything. Its not a surprise and I wonder how offen he even see`s a hanger floor.

Yes, his behavior is not suprising, especially in Thailand, but should have he come out with such a categorical denunciation of the claim without knowing any of the facts? Is that the charachterisitc of a good exec?

I keep thinking good exec and then Thailand then matching the 2 and just does not seem a good fit but I am sure their are many. I think a better reply would bw something P.C like we are looking into the incident and will have more information in the future or such but saying nothing happened and not admiting there was a problem was foolish IMHO.

Based on that article, I don't see how anyone can make an accurate assesment of what really happened. I would be curious as to what was the actual damage to the aircraft.

As for the pilot, there have been several times where I have found damage during a post flight inspection, but the crew wasn't aware of any problems. Who knows what that pilot was aware of?

Anyway, I think the media has a habit of blowing things out of porportion when it comes to aviation issues. Way too much dramatic reporting!

A voice of reason

I can give an example of such. We had a bird strike on an aircraft here that put an airplane out of service 3 days as we waited for parts. It happed on landing and the crew did not even notice it and it was found on the walk around later.

A few things I would like to note. Have I seen Thai air maintence practices that I would question while flying TG. The answer is yes.

WHat I am questions more so is the reporting and is it complete or just overblown.

As for the Vp not knowing anything. Its not a surprise and I wonder how offen he even see`s a hanger floor.

You want to talk about problems. He used some extra power to power out as he slowed which is smart as he keeps the movement going on the aircraft. You want to see problems? You stop and let the gear sink into the ground which it would do with an aircraft of the weight of an airbus 300. Now the plane is stuck and will need a crane to get free. Sending a bus and stair truck out to a plane with one gear sinking to the ground is stress. Partly going off the highspeed and hitting a few taxi and exit lights is minor and getting stuck are two different things and one makes a good story where nothing has really happened other then a bit of dirt and some lights are damaged.

As for the crew freeing it. How do you think they freed it? Got out and shovel? No they powered it out and also did any of the passengers notice? No? So how stuck was it really?

You'll have to show me what the company policy is for soft-field landings in an Airbus.

Ask Air France about soft field landings and a Air bus in Toronto with their 340. If any of you have the Maintence logs or pictures to prove anything on this incident and Thai Air then please show me till then its all speculation and nothing more and some paper reporting it and making mountains out of mole hills.

Where is my whack a mole/shill hammer? I know I left it here somewhere ... let me see .... ah yes here is is

Rule number 1: when your facts don't add up, deflect deflect, deflect

I don't give a shiite about what Air France's manual says, because we are discussing Thai Air.

Stick with the topic and thread and try not to wander.

Yeah I would want to fly with you. If you can not relate and connect a previous comment on Air Bus and soft landings to Air France and their 340 crash in YYZ why are you even making quotes?

So connect your dots.. Passengers did not even notice a problem, Secret repairs where is your proof. A newspaper report ..Oh please...Stress on the air frame. You do the NDT work? Your a pilot if that what would you know about MAintence or the Thai Air MPM? Were you there? because enless you were the pilot in command on that landing and have facts based on proof you are guessing so you stick to facts please which no one has here. You want to question the Maintence that is fine but you could second guess alot of companies the the way they do things. And the biggest danger to passengers is a pilots ego lets see if you can get that under control.

Wandering again I see. No problem - you have just earned me adding you to the ignore list. Whether I read what you write or not it amounts to the same thing:

A big fat zero.

You add nothing to this discussion except static.

I'm tuning you out.

000

Ego kills and you dislike the questions..tough.. I would dislike flying with you as I have the right to ask them. If its only static I am asking it should be simple to answer.. You want to ignore thats o.k but that just proves my point.

What a surprise you have no argumernt so your tuning me out with my query on Thai Air MPM and their AMO. Your the one avoiding and blowing smoke when I ask questions. Acting like you see and know all when you really know nothing as you are taking all your view from what a report in a paper. Have you even heard CVR tape or seen the data dump from the FDR..No

How do you know that the down time for the aircraft in question was due to the incident and was not related to procurement of parts for some other problem and the wait was for parts to come which happens all the time and till then Maintence had to sit and wait.

Yep I have seen your sort before.

If this story were true and it was me and I was single (and definately not 19) I would take that woman without mercy. I HATE unfriendly fookers. Aww no I wouldnt, but Id fantasize about it (the revenge not the sex) and grin every time that bastard walked by. Unless she was hot... then I totally would do it. Just call me complicated.

Wow you sound like a classy guy. Take with out mercy..If she is hot.. Yep prize catch is what you are..

The reason men are unhappy

Wife has access to credit card, Just when you have to pee she takes up the bathroom for 2 hours, just 5 minutes is never just 5 minutes....

You mention the 50 baht question but nothing about going upstairs to the arrival area. (as for the flight being cheap its all a point of view.) As for being a Falang. Not every falang is a tourist but every falang is not from Thailand.

Ooops, to save 50 baht you better take a cab at departures.....

But flights being cheap a point of view?? I said they CAN be cheap and some of the promotional fares are just that by any standard.... (i.e. the surcharges and taxes sometimes make up the largest part of the price of the ticket. Paying a total of 799 Baht from Don Mueang to Chiang Rai, which is the case for my next flight, is definitely cheap).

799 baht?

including taxes..yikes that is good..I was checking Nok and after the taxes a cheapo flight is not so cheap..not pricey but the taxes added was like huge..

You could have also gone upstairs and gotten a cab at the arrivals area. As for avoiding the 50 baht. Why would one worry and fret about 50 baht after all the money spent on a ticket to Thailand?

Don Mueang is for domestic flights (which can be very cheap indeed) and not every farang is a tourist.... the price of an international ticket has little to do with this. So if for some people it is worth taking a cab at arrivals to save 50 baht, why not?

Lets see.. Yelling out a mans name as you make love with your wife. Or yelling out your dogs name. (No I do not very previous exprience in those) :-)

Sounds like the story is missing some points. A 24 knot head wind or tail wind or cross wind? Putting a wheel into the sand/dirt on the edge ot the taxiway is not good but far from damaging an aircraft and is an incident not an accident in the aviation world. And happening at the high speed it an happen and the aircraft not getting stuck shows it was not to bad. I would like to see the full report before making a statement about how good or bad the crew was. Who is to say the the crew did not report the incident and upper management did not report or consider it a situation worth reporting?

Have you tried a dish soap mixed with water spray to see if that helps?

The option of the basinette depends on the weight of the child. If your travel agent is worth their salt, they will get the details for you. My daughter had a basinette at 14 months, and she's not exactly small for her age. You'll have to do the seatbelt thing that Leisurely referred to whether you have the basinette or not. It's compulsory for take off and landing.

Childern under 2 have to held during takeoff and landing not using the seatbelt. Where did you hear this?

A few tricks. Try to keep your daughter up so she tired I.E no nap before flight(Backside of this she may be grumpy) Feed her a bottle on taxi out for take off and during take off as this helps her ear drums and and pressuization problems. Bring her fav toys so she is comfy. And then feed her a bottle on approach and landing as this helps again with descent and any ear problems. Try to get a whole row to your selves the flight attendents can help with this(Take to the purser In charge they should help) If there is room. Hope that helps.

The truth has been uncovered.

A man with a mask and one glove holding a monkey has bought land in Koh Samui.

He told the property market player just call me Jackoo. And plans to name the area Never ever Land and will host kids soccer games for poor Thai childern. I do not like the sounds of this at all.

To generalize is easy. And its based on the dreaded word to assume. The person will take things at face value and they paint it so they know what is going and most times they are incorrect as each situation is different.

Here in Bangkok when every tourists see me and my Thai wife they do not even consider we are married. They just generalize. Its just the scowl I hate that some get when they assume that I am a sex tourist as my Wife is young looking. (But it has gotten better now with my 2 little girls but I still see it every so offen) But its a 2 way street. Alot of Thai guys glare at my wife for being with male who is not Thai sometimes.
