Sealbash Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Cheapest piece of marketing I've ever seen. Despicable announcement. But at least they are one step ahead of someone posting a photo of the aircraft with a cracked windshield on Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4UCorsair Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) 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? Edited March 26, 2015 by F4UCorsair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaurene Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Cheapest piece of marketing I've ever seen. Despicable announcement.

tolsti Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesetat2013 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 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 BA5390And 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.....

AloisAmrein Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Several incidents with Nok Air in the last 12 months. May be it is better to avoid this airline in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite apparent you have no business even addressing this issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
