Just curious how did JI push pilots to fly"defective" aircraft?
Did he pull them by the ears across the tarmac,or threaten them with pay freeze?
The facts on ground is that JI has pumped money,paid for more aircraft,insurance and reduced the balances on third party creditors.He may not be a nice guy,which i don't believe is a prerequisite for an airline chairman,but if properly managed,there is huge potential.They are IOSA/IATA,which no one else has,they are in a better financial condition now,than even orange tail and AJ.
In my estimation,NICON was an eye opener for him,and if he's smart,he should use his experience there,and pay off what he owes staff.
I do agree that the timing of this 500billion,his joining PDP,are quite ................ but word out there is AJ is trying to corner most of the money based on fleet size,forgetting the money is not for aviation alone,but also manufacturing.
