So (according to Olderairheads figures) Air Niugini has managed to lose around a 1,000 years of Air Niugini experience and 126 pilots in just 3 years, yet is madly trying to recruit just so it can manage to keep its very reduced schedule working.

What am I missing here?

NCD ,you've summed it up nicely,you're not missing anything. It's either Piss Poor manpower(& womanpower) management,OR maybe Foo & Toofar's "Fast Tracked" Nationalization Scheme,just went way TOO Fast!!

And in the meantime the pilot shortage continues to cost PX thousands.

Yesterdays once a week service to Pohnpei (B737) was cancelled, so Air Niugini have had to accommodate the PNI-POM passengers for 7 nights that held tickets.

Wonder how those cancellations fit in with aim to be "The Dubai of the Pacific" ..connections to everywhere.

Hahahaha, wasn't ever going to happen back when, and from what I hear, anint never going to happen anytime soon, esp with this same mob still manageing the show.

Thinking United prob don't have to worry to much on the FSM routes then, might take a bit longer from Aus, but at least they have back up aircraft to get you there if one breaks down..esp important if you only have a week of to do the dive trip of your life.

The only miracle room in PNG is a bar where a Kiwi buys an Aussie a beer!

Probably not many Aussie's around at the moment who admit to being Aussie's, in light of the national embarrassment due to recent events in South Africa.

Rumours swirling thick and fast at the moment. Not prepared to be the first to post in case I'm labelled as a wishful thinker. One thing is certain, change is in the wind.
Might be time to pay the piper.

Are we referring to Simon Says and TooFar being replaced by Durani and Mileng?

Amazing.
I haven’t heard any of these rumour except on pprune.
Must be swinging in different circles or I’m on the wrong medication!
April is only a day away so guess we will know very soon.

If you read this it confirms that Foo has "retired" and Durrani is now the interim CEO.

This confirms my earlier post.

https://www.thenational.com.pg/foo-r...hief-40-years/

The only one to go is the reference to April but more on that later.

I was also sent the following which is in reference to the new CEO:

Durrani is widely known as King Julien

WIKIPEDIA .......King Julien considers himself to be king over all animals he encounters, but is oblivious to their dislike of him. He is very lazy, childish, immature, dim-witted, and spoiled to the point where he will not offer assistance to ensure his own safety. He is also very proud of his bottom, which he refers to as "The Royal Booty".

Certainly is, there is a lovely cartoon from "The Adventures of Wallet" depicting my departure from PX which includes him.

I also remember having to explain to him that "annual" did in fact mean "every year" whilst trying to get my yearly increment approved.

The Donne, yes, that's one of the rumours I heard. Not seen anything to confirm it.
Kiwiconehead, is that; "Adventures of the Wallet" by Martin B. ?
