Today was D Day. The Court case has been heard. By all reports an amazing day for the pilot's.
I have been asked to postpone any details until the pilot body has been briefed.
I will honour this request and post details tomorrow.

Words and actual actions have two meanings here in PNG.I don't want to be cynical and take away from a well deserved and just victory. However we shall see how these pages unfold in the coming weeks and months.
Case was heard yesterday in front of 3 Judges.
First issue was whether the Court would allow the PNGAPA and NAPU be heard together. This was approved.
Second issue was the appeal by Poxie against the initial decision. Amazingly Poxie did not supply the required Appeals book.
The pilot's laywer responded that by law Poxie should have and asked that either the appeal be dismissed or proceed with what the Pilot's had responded with. Judges took the second option.
Reports are that the Judges were very displeased with Poxies lawyer.
The Pilot's lawyer then gave a summary of the case and the original decision.
All in all took 1 hour and a decision is expected in 2 weeks.

Initially I felt very buoyed having read your previous sanguine post Olderairhead. However this latest report puts me firmly in Tripela’s camp. Still a fair way to go, the fat ladies haven’t even started warming up yet.

Especially after hearing Wantok(s) are discussing coming from the East to drain the swamp Sammy and Simon!
And he has spoken loudly
The return of the previous CEO is imminent I hear. February maybe.

Decision in 2 weeks Eh? Oh that would be Xmas day then. Think again lads, I would suggest next year so keep working and wait. If you are one of the Pilots waiting for 9th Jan start date with another Airline well......... You ain't going to get your answer before then.

That is GOLD olderairhead. I sincerely hope that you are right about that though. A VERY good guy who should never have been allowed to leave in the first place. But if it's true and he's returning, then there is hope for PX yet.
