The fact that they are so out of touch with reality and modern thinking is a very good reason NOT to fly TIGERAIR for me. A cultural "Loss of Face" thinking perhaps?

It was NASA that did the original scientific studies over 25 years ago.

Even Indias DGCA has worded it nicely.

Rats "out" others?
What on earth does that mean?

We all understand the correct "rats on others".

What is "out" doing there??? You can't rat "out" someone any more than you can rat "inside" someone. Is this another weird fabrication like swapping "out" instead of just swapping? Ferfuggsake!
Do try harder. You can't just make up the English language as you go along...

You appear to understand this variant, too.

Plastic fantastic

The Taiwanese national pastime is sleeping. They sleep ( even standing up ) on the trains, the buses at all hours of the day and , at the stroke of 12:00 pm in offices.
My experience of flying there was that there was something wrong if I didn't look over to see the local fast asleep with his face pressed up against the side window. Warn the other guy , what for?
Of course, if you pulled out a news paper to read ( as distinct from their use for it as wall paper for the windscreens) , out came the camera and the photo was quickly dispatched to the fleet office so as to grease his way to a command .

LOL

Multiculturalism at it's best!

Wall paper seems to be SOP with FD crew from Asia in general. It assists with pigmentation "issue's".

I had to be careful what noises i uttered in the cockpit, as the CVR transcript was libel to end up on the boss's desk, such was the F/O's need to get my seat. This was a private operation albeit.

The joys of the Asia.
