Cool

Maybe Le Pilot might like to tell us from where Hainan "found" their business model , and why he's so excited about the prospect of not just one, but two, airlines suddenly hitting the Cambodian scene.

Cambodia must have one of the highest turnover rates of airlines, of just about anywhere in the world.
In the end, it's not the pilots' salaries that bring about their downfall, it's the kickbacks to the locals, starting with (say) 20% to one or two, and ending up with an army of leeches after a short time.

The classic was the pilot who was offered a job IF he paid 30% of his salary to the guy responsible for hiring!

Not unlike the Civil Aviation Authority employee who sold someone else's business model to Hainan, is it L.P.!
