Professionalism Of Thai Cockpit Crew Questioned After Bad Landing

[Supaporn]

Must say it may be welcome not to hear more - though I, personally, would like to know for whom you fly - as I, too, will avoid that carrier (along with THAI) like the plague. I will fly with NWA (and the Capt 000 types anyday). You smack to me of the mentality that is so common amongst THAI, 1-2-Go, and the like.

(15 years is all?)

My final post on this matter until I have a copy of the full DCA report is this:

1. If the allegations of failure to report are true. This is gross misconduct and the appropiate measures actions will be undertaken.

2. The incident occured due to a failure of a component of the braking system - The incident was well assessed / handled by the crew resulting in only minor damage to aircraft / ground facilities and no injuries to anyone. It was a well controlled emergency as far as I am concerned.

Things will become clearer towards the end of the year with the investigation results are published.

And an example of how to handle {minimise passenger concern} by an airline far far away {at least in attitude}.

Singapore - The wingtips of two Singapore Airlines (SIA) planes hit each other while taxiing for take-off, but there were no injuries, the national carrier said on Sunday.

Both Boeing 777 aircraft suffered minor damage in Saturday's accident at Changi Airport, SIA officials said.

The passengers were transferred to other aircraft for their flights to Copenhagen and Rome.

An investigation is underway, the national carrier said. The number of passengers aboard the two planes was not disclosed.
