Here's my remaining issue: You and I and everyone reading this thread knows they are taking a gamble when they fly on an Thai-based airline.
But what about all those innocent tourists who don't know?
When Thailand is de-listed or at least listed as category 2 in the US, and the EC does the similarly, then the traveling public will also be warned.
AAIGUY: No offense taken. I very much appreciate your support and your concern. You're right, together, we've accomplished a great deal. Once the FAA properly wraps up their work, I'll move along.
