I asked a Thai pilot once how come you dont have Farang pilots his reply was we dont want you knowing where all our bases are, Dont worry we already know where they are, idiot

Great stuff .. simulators are used in many forms of transport training .. boats , trains , farming tractors , big trucks .. in the truck sim' you have to use the exhaust brake and gears when descending hills so as not to  overheating the brakes with subsequent failure ..

Judging by all the brake failure accidents, I assume the advanced technology truck simulator hasn't reached Thailand yet?

Or perhaps they're waiting for the manual to be translated?

The published pay rates are very low for the industry.  Unless growing up here with perfect Thai and Nationality, a patronage system no "Farang" pilot could ever fit into, leuk khreung maybe OK.

Having spent the past 10 years living in Pattaya i have encountered many cockpit experiences
