The 'MALAISE' Continues.....

From the AvWeb site (USA),....

" INDIA'S KINGFISHER ON THE ROPES
Days may be numbered for India's largest budget airline but Kingfisher Airlines is soldiering on even though the Indian government has frozen its bank accounts and its pilots are becoming less interested in going to work since they haven't been paid since November. The accounts freeze came last week after the airline failed to meet a deadline to pay millions in back taxes. Somehow, the airline is still finding crews to volunteer to fly the 28 remaining aircraft still operational (from a total fleet of 68) and it's still finding passengers willing to join them. Kingfisher's flamboyant CEO, Vijay Mallya, who lives part-time in Marin County near San Francisco, says his company will survive."

What IS it with these people..??

Crews NOT paid since November last???
Accounts frozen?
And this 'flamboyant' CEO lives in California..???

Hello....Hello....crews... Still 'Volunteering..??

Must be chasing the hours...
