  1. Two days ago Air France and KLM were here touting the idea at Utapao.

    Utapao has been slated for heavy maintenance for a long time as it has the infrastructure in the way of land/runways - seems the so called President does not know what is going on (as usual)

  2. The staff won't lose their jobs and the government will continue to sling money at it as a matter of national prestige - would a member of the Royal Family or a government official be seen to take a Qatar or BA flight? - so why worry. Who wouldn't be complacent in their position?

    They will not have to worry about Thai - those people have their own private aircraft if they need to go anywhere.

  3. As an ex-member of the armed forces in the UK, I can understand that the punishment is nothing to do with carrying a phone, it is about failing to follow orders. In our case, if just one guy had his phone they would probably have made everybody get theirs and smash them to teach the lesson that if you screw up, you screw everybody else up as well.

    Imagine some of these guys end up walking through a jungle looking for smugglers or whatever and a phone starts ringing because one guy thought he could do what he wanted.

    We had many instances where the punishment didn't fit the offence, but looking back I can appreciate why they did it. What I didn't appreciate was the enjoyment the instructors seemed to get while dishing it out ...

    Hmm but how do you post on your Face Book photos of the pretty jungle and handsome smugglers if you do not have your phone at the ready whistling.gif
