Doomed to failure?

Unfortunatly any petition to Samak is most probably a waste of time as as previously stated,Udom is well-connected,especially within the heirarchy of the ruling PPP/TRT party.

I was at DMK the other week and the One to Go ticket counters were much quieter than the Nok counters,so Udom must be being hit in the pocket over this crash.

An altitude bust by One to Go made the Bangkok Post in December,so the reputation of this outfit must remain low with the Thai flying public.

From an inside source here,there is talk of Orient Thai announcing the commencement of scheduled services to Munich in the near future.

It will be interesting to see the reaction of the European airworthiness authorities to these proposals.
