It is a sad day when you have to leave your HOME country and NATIONAL airline because of BAD management. It is even worse when that bad management is allowed to remain in control of the airline. Air Pacific has been profitable because it SCREWS its most valuable resource - the aircrew ie. BOTH pilots and Cabin crew. The public face of the airline is the cabin crew, yet they are paid a pittance - only 1/5th of what QF crew are paid. NOTE- QF own 46% of FJ and the MD (John Campbell) is from Qantas. Hence QF are in control. HOWEVER, the big FAT bonus is still paid to those FAT CATS.
Those FAT CATS will be working overtime to hide anything and everything that the Government Inquiry SHOULD KNOW. Perhaps Mahendra Chaudhry and his team would benefit from a few 'leads'. Send your contributions to;

Don't restrict your contributions to financial activities. Include operational issues eg. breaches of regulations, poor communication to passengers - FJ always say "delay due to Operational issues" when the real cause was 'lack of pilots', or 'Management Fu*k up'.
The integrity of certain management pilots should also be brought to their attention., eg. a rwy excursion in LAX that was blamed on the Second Officer? or the Hot & high approach that ended in a go around - also blamed on the SO. Both occasions the SO was NOT in a driving seat.
A timely reminder of the court case where the 3 senior managers 'lied in court ..... and the judge now has FOC travel for life with FJ'
Its high time the boot is on the other foot.
