Nok Air plane's windshield cracks before taking off

Cheapest piece of marketing I've ever seen. Despicable announcement. bah.gif

But at least they are one step ahead of someone posting a photo of the aircraft with a cracked windshield on Facebook.

Not an issue, and maybe just Nok capitalizing on an almost frequent occurrence to show how safety conscious they want to appear.

They may have taken Branson's course in self promotion?

What the hell is up with you, Commerce, Cheapest piece of marketing you ever seen. Despicable announcement. What you talking about,

A crack in a plane windshield would be reported any where in the world. Where is the marketing there.

It beets me at some of the comments that come out with some of you lot on the Visa.

What a load of borrocks some of you write. A windscreen crack discovered on the ground is a no-go item. Occurring in the air it is a land asap item. No Captain worth his salt will do otherwise. Google BA5390

And you are either forgetting or neglecting to mention that it happened pre-flight and not during any inspections for safety. It was just sh--- luck it happened on the ground and not in the air during a flight in which the plane would have crashed and all dead on board.

Now I can understand why Japan is refusing flights of Thailand airlines. Safety measures need to be improved.

Obviously you are not au fait with the German air-lines crash in France and the potentials. Your insensitivity beats me to even question why it's poor timing.

Edit: Cracks in windshields are reported by Captains around the world on a daily basis so, no, it's not world news.....

Thailand its a byword for safety electrical workplace roads they are just so over the top and strict with safety regulations and rules method statement and risk assessment needed just to cross the road at a zebra crossing

Apparently you didn't read the article.

The windscreen will not pop out if it cracks.

It is quite apparent you have no business even addressing this issue.

I don't think he/she reads too good.... but if it is true that Japan are refusing Thailands aircraft then maybe that's why Thai Airways is losingso much money... all those planes are taking off and flying towards Japan and then having to come back and give the people their money back.... so many times every day...
