I kept up with your posts on the first project.
Who was held accountable in the company for not meeting with authorities first, to see who has to be paid, and for how much, to ensure the route could operate?
Wouldn't someone with "knowledge of life and business in Thailand" at least consider this?
You are the one claiming those in the company are "not stupid" so why did the first route fail, and why do you think this second route, obviously not the company's first choice of routes, will be successful?
