Phuket Air Safety Issues

[avia77]

Past, Present and Future

This is the lowdown on whats happening at Phuket Air.
Six months ago the airline was pretty desperate for crew (pilots and FEs) to start the SV operation. Most of their old timers had left due to stop in operations for over a year. They had to hired the some of the worst crew available, fly by night mercenaries, trouble makers and bandwagon jumpers who other airlines wouldnt even touch with a bargepole. Some of these guys had the worst personal and professional reputations possible. However they had to make do and start their operations. The CP they hired in the beginning was a no good pilot with a bad atitude and inflated ego. This guy I believe even demanded pay on flights he deadheaded and asked the airline to reimburse his personal bills. Most of these guys bickered among each other, flew at their pleasure and had scant regard for safety norms. As time passed however they were able to hire some better crew and they decided to get rid of these verm**. Now some of these crew who were chucked out including the old CP are going around making highly exagerated claims of safety violations and rumors about delays in pay. From what I have heard, they have some good crew now, who are doing a good job and are also being paid on time. No wonder, SV gave them an extension of their contract
