I am hearing lot's of talk no action along with a fleet manager predicting another crash. 4th floor is still demanding pass at all costs even tho those recruited are not safe.
Those with blinkers see a rosy future.

I suppose time will tell.

I am hearing that a very senior financial exec was "escorted" from ANG Haus, never to return.
This has now been confirmed and the pilots are celebrating. Said exec has been labelled a pilot hater, 2 to go they are saying.
At least the pilot group now have something to smile about.

The boys I know who are still left at ANG say he is doing a fantastic job and is perhaps the best MD / CEO ANG has ever had.

Is that not what you wanted to hear Olderairhead?

Case in point.. refer your last post.

Pass at all cost is rubbish, continue training at all cost is more believable.

This was posted elsewhere with reference to the recent MD/CEO pilot meeting. They are not my words.

Real positive bull****.
When are we going to get a real boss/CEO/MD?

Quote

is there light at the end of the tunnel?? Or another f en train. Fingers crossed this one doesn’t run us over !!!

And from an internal email.
The usual BS from the Boss.
We are going to have another crash if nothing changes with our recruiting and training coupled with the current Engineering issues.
My advice if you want to stay alive:
Stick to SOPs and this will ensure you work as a team.
You cannot guarantee this if you do not know the SOPs.
So, rosy to some and not so rosy to others as I said previously.

The new government has appointment a very appropriately qualified and highly experienced ex ANG Captain as the new Civil Aviation Minister.

And just when you thought this was all over be prepared for the next legal challenge........ The "slip court action" has been filed by the pilot group.

The battle may have been lost but the war continues.

Sooner or later justice will prevail.

Change of pace for a moment....
Any chance there is some Air Niugini survivor (crew/passenger) who has a couple of Air Niugini Paradise magazines that they want to offload?
Specifically #1 and #122 to complete my set.
I do have some spares if another lunatic collector is looking.

New contracts 2019 - 2021 are now on offer to be signed.

From what has been sent to me nothing has changed. All conditions remain the same.

Even with a new MD things remain the same.

From my experience CBG was the best GM, both before and after his tenure. You could actually talk to the guy, and reason with him in a measured way. The Company made a lot of progress from the acquisition of the F28s and the B707s which helped the expansion of better services and opening new routes overseas.

Ya all take good care now.

Olderairhead, not everything remains the same, as it looks by this pic sent to me today the old requirement of avoiding volcanic dust just doesn’t matter anymore!

For those that want a bit of light reading the following 2 documents are Slip Rule Applications.
Document 1 is the application for leave and document 2 is the application to re-open the case.

​​​​​​​Document 1 and Document 2

Seeing that the Fokker there would be coming close to taxy speed, that looks a lot of ash.

Pretty sure they’d be leased engines, so bet the lessor will be super impressed if it sees the pics.

Hoskin's, right? Looks like a couple of knots of downwind on that windsock for good measure.

Can we safely assume PNG AIC will investigate?
What about CASA PNG, will the Director, or Malaki, or Jim, launch an investigation, ground the flight crew, and order the engines swapped out?
Nah! I think not …. it's PNG, the land of the unexpected.

Malakai won't rock the boat, and Jim has gone.
