tbavprof,

Assuming you are in Hua Hin you will know just how this country works. If you force TG, BKP or any of the other DCA approved operations that do comply with the rules; they will react to their ‘loss of face’ by retaliation to and self-imposed isolation from the FAA and USA.

Replacement aircraft, fleet additions or aviation equipment from USA – forget it.

I’m all for going after the rubbish like 1 To Go, but a targeted approach and maintaining pressure on their regulatory authorities will be far more productive.

Across the board sanctions will IMHO create more problems than it solves.
