This is about flight safety. I am pretty sure all airlines are doing the same, regardless of "pay masters" and favorite ideology. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 No pilot wants his airliner to be the target of a missle. For a poster to rant on about masters etc, just shows the lack of brain power. We can all hope that the China leader has his calm down drink and tensions cease shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Eva Air flights still flying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a Thai Airliner be a target of a Chinese missile? (which is what you are insinuating). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soi3eddie Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 How about Japanese airliners too? Not exactly best friends with the Chinese. Right now this All Nippon Airways #ANA808 from Bangkok went right over Taiwan. Where's the story? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China is holding an exercise.... no commercial airliners would be targeted and destroyed... even by accident. China is playing big brother by trying to control the area, and Thailand is playing along with the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangon04 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 The CCP is having a tantrum and throwing its toys out of the pram. An airlner might just get hit by a flying toy..... ask Malaysian Airlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
