I have been informed that 3 Fokker checks have resigned their position.
Could be to do with Toofar overriding the checkies for a new employee who has command time on nothing bigger than a bongo and no PX time and given a Fokker command. Checks said put him in the right seat, Toofar said no, persist.
Whisper is the checkies want nothing to do with the upcoming bingle. Scary stuff happening now.
Also told of continual mechanical failures. Dash wheel shattering in the wheel well after take off, Fokker brakes failing on landing, luckily not at Madang are a couple of recent examples.
Poor maintenance and inexperienced crew are a recipe for disaster.
Evacuate, evacuate, evacuate is the current cry coming from the expats visitors.
