Translated DCA document

A translation of the DCA document regarding One-Two-Go and Orient Thai's AOC revocation is available on the InvestigteUdom.com petition site. Here are a few highlights:
  1. DCA inspectors notified Orient Thai management of the excessive working hours of the pilots after the accident of (and presumably related to) OG269
  2. Orient Thai management acknowledged the truth of excessive hours at that time and continued to fly hours in excess of legal maximums.
  3. "OT [Orient Thai] had no Quality Assurance for self-inspection"
  4. "Flight operation officers did not obtain fudamental training and procedures in case of emergency"
  5. "Flight operations officers of OTG [One-Two-Go] had to work with those of OT [Orient Thai], meaning their duties were inseparable"
It's worth reading the whole document. Just go to the petition site and scroll to bottom or look for Aug 5. (And please sign while you're there.)
