Keep receiving reports about maintenance problems. Last week 5 fokkers were on the ground sick keeping a couple of Dash's company.

Yesterday A Fokker departed Kavieng, had smoke in the cockpit emanating from the CB panel. Full emergency procedures completed with a return to land with no electrics.

No electrics - no anti skid. Both mains blew on landing leaving the a/c disabled on the runway causing closure. Took several hours for a rescue and removal.

Also hearing whispers about 767 issues.

Appears maintenance is still of concern given the lack of engineering support.

Things don't seem to be getting any better for PX.
