I wonder why Rishworth were dropped in favour of another agency?

ICAO did not like what they saw. Neither did I.

If anything like the Indo operation, the replacements will either be puppets, or hacks.

Of the several Lion Air subsidiaries, there are three governing bodies involved: DGCA of Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. They behave all different.
Did you work for one of the airlines from Lion Air? And in what capacity? Please comment.

Do you defend your colleagues? Can you explain me is it normal in thai lion that people fly using their SOP from the previous employer as they didn't get any class before, OM is a total sh$t and training standarts are poor!

I am not defending any colleagues. And I mentioned several airlines. So, have you worked there? Your English is very poor too.

I did not say I have a job there. But I am probably in a position to judge better than you. Whether and where the standards are different.
'No comment..etc. ' is also a comment.
You did not fail the assessment, did you?

I even was't working there but i have two close friends to me, one was there for 3 years(lion) and another guy left in a month after things he'd seen. Don't you agree that they have a scary reputation? If you continue to defend them look through all pprune threads and maybe you'll change your mind! Stalling an arcft in clb, hard landings, tail strikes, flaps overspeed during go arounds, rw excursions etc... Didn't it say you anything about their training?!

I am of course aware of those things. I also know the reputation, and can read PPRUNE.

But as you advertise yourself as a captain, you do not need training, do you?
Maybe your experience even would be appreciated.

Quoting things from the horses mouth does not contribute anything to This forum.

Everybody needs training, but the standart must be good! I won't work in a place that is totally unsafe because of that! And better to warn people about what to expect there, so they can widen their eyes and profoundly think before joining those carriers.
