The authors don't know a SAM from a cruise missile.

Cathay Pacific crew saw North Korean missile from plane, airline says - CNN (http://edition.cnn.com/2017/12/04/asia/north-korea-cathay-crew-missile/index.html)

Lots of trouble makers based in SFO.

Hmmm

[cxorcist]

There are lots of trouble makers on all the bases and in Hong Kong too. That’s what happens when an employer lies, cheats, and steals from their employees. They stop being good employees.

[Trafalgar]

Being a 'trouble maker' is a label the management apply. The employee is usually just reacting in the only ways possible to the constant attacks they are subjected to by a management not fit for purpose. You could say that such employees are 'good employees', as their actions are the only thing working to constrain the constant destruction wreaked on this airline by incompetent management.

"In the event that if normal communication is rendered dysfunctional within the Seoul Flight Information Region should there be an attack from the north, Cathay pilots can still contact the airline’s Hong Kong headquarters."

I don't have 10 posts so I can't post the URL. You can find the article on zerohedge website then use their search for "We Witnessed The DPRK" omitting the quotation marks.

aterpster, surely a SAM would be going up, even if anyone was firing one around there?
Quote from above article:


Mark Hoey, also a former 747 chief pilot, said: “Today [November 29] the crew of CX893 reported, ‘Be advised, we witnessed the DPRK missile blow up and fall apart near our current location. We advised ATC [air traffic control] and ops [operations] normal. Just letting you know’.

Why are they scaring the cabin crew with all this sat phone crap?
If they are that scared that Nk will invade or bomb, suspend your layovers, like Colombo way back...

This is yet another post that I can not understand the logic behind this being moved from Rumours and News, as I think that this really is something that affects us all. Am I alone on this?
