Admiral Shin & Haejungkuk, this pretty much sums the maturity of the airline.

Message sent by acars to numerous aircraft (words to the effect)

"Asiana B744 freighter clash (sic) near CJJ recommend autoland in ..."

wotthefcuk....

And on the company notams;

"A380 ops only.... arrival not in database. If not crews must enter it manually"

Really? So in Kindergarten Air Lines crews need to be told to enter an arrival manually if it is not in the database.

"Please use caution" is the oft used phrase in company messages. Just as well I receive those messages otherwise I would not be using due caution.

QFE ops. Banned. Why -because we can't use VNAV. Solution-publish a Kpageeeee table that requires mental gymanstics and the distict possibility of a screw up (recently evidenced by two published and probably many unpublished incidents) . So now you divert to a QFE airport that doesn't have a Kpageee table..... I dont think I need to say anymore. Well thought out policy.

BTW; I hear they have decided to solve the A380 pod strike problem. They are going to remove the outer two engines. This will enable a bank angle or 16.8 degress before a wingtip strike.
