But, no, there was a group on board that panicked and lost their nerve. They took their foot off the brake and lept from the bus.
................and Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines, Malaysian, Gulf Air were very appreciative that they did and re-paid them handsomely with generous expatriate remuneration packages, reduced income tax (in some cases zero tax), subsidised housing & schooling and many more benefits. the rest of the passengers that stayed on the bus soon realised they were being taken for a ride by the AFAP and decided to take control. luckily, only the very inexperienced passengers were left on the bus before it went over the cliff so in the the end the AFAP thought they had done a pretty good job !
