Sadly it has taken this long to confirm something that many of us already knew.
What is more worrying is the trend, not only here in Thailand but all over the world, to employ low time, inexperienced (and thereby CHEAP) flight crews in the hope that current computer control systems will save the day. In the case of the One-2-Go Phuket crash, here you have a pilot who, simply, should have had his license pulled years ago.
But whilst he still held a valid license you can't blame him for wanting to continue to fly. The blame lies with his employer.
Orient-Thai and One-2-Go are not alone in the world of dodgy airlines although they are examples of the worst around.
Cheap airfares are one thing - the means by which an airline is able to offer such cheap fares is another.
Choose your airline carefully!
