So Eva Air will be bringing the Russians in via Taipei?  Did Xi Xi suggest to Vlad that this would be an excellent way to irritate the Taiwanese?

Revenue for Taiwan aviation services, not Hong Kong or the Chinese mainland? Why would that irritate the Taiwanese?

There won't be many Russians here anytime soon.

 

I follow some war related youtube channels mostly from anti Putin Russians. Just reported one way ticket Moscow to Bangkok 5000 dollars  

Russians wanting to escape now go to places where they can easily stay long term without a visa. Georgia is very popular. 

Thailand could attract them if they offered the same as Georgia to Russians but they won't as Putin would see that as unfriendly to his genocidal regime.

Maybe Kalaland will get a few Russkis a bit higher up the corruption tree; the ones who order the defenstrations, not the usual heavy Jomtien thugs that actually do it. ????

Aeroflot is resuming flights in November both to Phuket and Bangkok. Direct flights from Moscow in November are available right now for around 900 usd one-way or 1100 usd return tickets on Aeroflot’s own website. Following youtube channels to get info on ticket prices is not adult behaviour.

You're first mistake is assuming people get flight info from youtube channels. Your second is not keeping up with the news. These flight resumptions were announced back in early August and it actually starts from 30th Oct. However since then its been announced that 50% - 80% of Aeroflot staff are being called up for mobilization into cannon fodder at Ukraine, so good luck on those booking these flights and the pending cancellations that will occur.

Announced by the same youtube channels or your daily dose of CNN? Both are equally credible sources.

According to TAT 4 Million have arrived this year just in Phuket lol.

Four million Russians? No wonder they are losing the war, when so many of their best and finest (i.e. thugs and criminals) hightail it to Thailand.

Which of the links you posted are official sources that can confirm 50% or more staff drafted? It is nowhere to be found except in the “parallel universe” western and Ukrainian media that pull data from the same source where TAT takes its predictions, ie, wild imagination.

If you read the news carefully, you will know that staff critical to Aeroflot’s operations will be exempted. Aeroflot flights to Thailand will go as scheduled. Building walls in your head to believe only what is pleasant to believe is setting yourself up for surprises in the future.

No walls built here just news which you were unaware. You can speculate as much as you like

I am aware of lots of sensationalising news, many of which end as fake or partially true at best. The one we discuss is not coming from an official source. There is a reference to an opinion of a lawyer, nothing more. Anyone can have an opinion. Quoting opinions, especially if you omit very important details, does not make it reality.

You've had credible links and credible sources, for someone who thinks others get their flight ticket info from Youtube channels then you've embarrassed yourself enough, I won't facilitate that any further for you.

 

"majority of pilots in airlines are reserve officers who have been trained at the military departments of flight schools, or privates who have served in the army."

Most of all, airlines fear that they will call not only pilots, but also technical specialists, IT specialists and employees of commercial divisions. The departure of one or more people can slow down or paralyze all work

Don't think the conflict is going against the Ruskies. I don't hold too much belief in CNN or BBC to tell the truth.

 

The biggest problem I can see is if the Russians come in their millions, they will bring Roubles with them. Won't that leave Russia itself short of reddies?
