'Puff and Pie' is probably their most valuable asset at the moment, apart from their LHR landings slots. Edited July 1, 2020 by samran 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His resume seems to be from the oil and gas industries, when will they ever learn that to successfully run an airline you need someone with the proper skills and not an ex general or a political stooge... or not, as the case have been so far with THAI history... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blumpie Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 I think that Thai Airways, if it survives, will make a profit. In 2175. I mean who wouldn't hop on this government run behemoth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxx Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Mr. Treenuchagron only joined Thai Airways back in June. Would I be right in thinking he only has one months' airline experience? If so, surely they could have found someone a little more familiar with running an efficient airline. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fundamental flaw of the Thai/Chinese business culture. The common belief here is that the boss can do anything and everything. He's the boss, after all. Their success will have everything to do with how many foreigners they think the country will "lure" to Thailand. That is their only business plan. Get more Chinese in...

They seem to be busy sweeping all their past mismanagement under the carpet. Is anyone going to trust them any more? A lot of their customers have lost money from cancelled tickets without much hope of a refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I like Thai, looking on here, one of the few, but will they never learn, they need to appont an executive expat with vast experience in the aviation industry, not another political appointment. An oil & gas man just will not be able to do the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
