Regulators ground the Boeing 737 Max 8, but not in Thailand

[Sonhia]

That particular A/C is being grounded for safety reasons, and rightly so. However, in typical Thai style, life is not important, revenue is! Money comes first...as witnessed in most walks of Thai culture.

 

As I mentioned previously, Thailand is ranked 23rd most dangerous country to visit and within the top 20 most polluted countries and within the top 1st or 2nd for the most dangerous roads in the world. 

 

Money is more important than the welfare of both humans, animals plus nature...

Thailand grounded it also.  https://thethaiger.com/news/world/update-thailand-grounds-thai-lion-air-boeing-737-max-fleet

Many countries follow FAA or European air  directives not because "money comes first" but they don't have the huge regulatory infrastructure of the US or Europe it allows them to participate in international alliances like SkyTeam and more easily keep up with international safety standards and requirements. If you look these countries aviation law book sections you will see they are directly translated from FAA. etc.

Actually I have dealt with Civil Aviation offices all over the world as I was a DER ( Designated Engineering Representative) that had approval electrical installation sign off for installation of various electrical retrofitted systems including flight test.  I would have to say that most of the foreign agencies follow the UK CAA rules and many are manned by retired CAA employees evident by the Pith Helmet and Safari Jacket hanging on the clothes rack when in their office!

UK rules and not EASa or FAA? No wonder the breixit is such a good idea the Brits taught the birds to fly don t tell the aussies though!

 

So why don’t People go to Chiang Mai International aerodrome to get on an ATR aeroplane with airscrews and alighting gear for touchdown?

Well at least that was a last minute knee jerk reaction by the aviation authorities of Thailand,.....

Seems very unlikely.

 

Again, wiggling won't get you out of the hole you dug for yourself, it will only deepen it.

Where am I defending Thailand?

 

I am only saying that your post ' Another case of Thailand knows better than the rest of the World ' at a point when USA, Canada, Europe and many others did not ban the 737 Max is incorrect, nonsense.

 

Now Thailand has banned as well we can see that Thailand realises it doesn't have enough knowledge here and is simply following the FAA.
