avia77, did some disgruntled Phuket Air pilot run off with your wife ??
"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"
Dear avia77 , please define what a "highly exagerated" claim of safety violations would be ? Give us an example please.
"you forgot to mention the $1500 per diem extra on salary (not including overtime) and free hotel room and board (naturally all airlines give it) that the contract pilots get"
so avia77 , do you think that $ 50 a day in perdiem is a high figure ? would you like to see that amount lowered ? apparently so.
Are you a crewmember or management type ?
And as for the "free" hotel room, would you like to have it so that these crews pay for their own hotel accomodation ?? What point are you trying to make ?
