Maybe they can bring back the SP elephant........

So you think there were never elephants in Mt Hagen? - Keith Jackson & Friends: PNG ATTITUDE

You would know Duck Pilot. Still working to pay for yours I believe.

Lost in Places, bit like being chuteless really, isn't it?

Strong Rumours doing the rounds of the PM trying to get a new Management team, CEO and below in next year.

Gotta be a serious hard rebuilt, will definitely require heaps of dollars...not sure if the Govt Coffers would have anything left.

Suppose the PM doesn't want to be remembered as the one in charge when Pixie went down the Tube.

AUS AID / WORLD BANK....come on down.

He should take a leaf out of the Honorable Prime Minister of Fiji's book and fk them off. Deal with the fall out for a couple of days and then move on.
There are plenty of donors out there who will finance PX when the government shows commitment to change and reform.

...."when the government shows commitment to change and reform".


Dragged kicking and screaming to the table I'd say...taken so many Million Kina "DIVIDEND" that Simon smilingly hands over in the way of that "Bigpla Cardboard Millions of Dollars Cheque",..so much that Pixie has proably nought left in the cupboard...but guess no different to the Govt.

I wont be donating for sure...as even the Almighty woldnt be able to follow the money trail.

Seems like the original info I was given about the replacement CEO was misleading.

Multiple sources are now telling me that the prodigal son will be returning from the land of the sand along with a new team to back him up but with no budget increase for the next 2 years cos the gunment does not have the money.

Story is he was personally farewelled by the big chief at the airport when the deal was done.

Maybe the saviour for Poxie cos he is a top bloke. (This should appeal to you my pm'er ;))

So the Board and Officers of the company are turning a blind eye to their liability if PX trades whilst insolvent and/or folds?
Then what happens?
Don't get me wrong, I think it is appalling the contempt shown for the pilot group. I'm posing the question 'what happens if....?'
Industrial relations win but at what cost to the PNG economy?

Ah you see Olderairhead, Wantoks from the East.......it was there in black and white for you. 😀

Quite right, I should have more faith.
Especially after hearing Wantok(s) are discussing coming from the East to drain the swamp Sammy and Simon!

Court Decision
 

Obviously nothing till the New Year?

It is the new year.
When does court reopen?

I am hearing it may be as late as February.

Time also for a bit of an update on a day in the life of living in paradise.

Told tonight another 4 cadets who have just completed their cadetship handed in their resignations. Off to the opposition.

And for those that have not heard the National Weather Service employees have been on strike since the 5th of January. The only legal forecast available is for Pom supplied by ASA.

In their wisdom CASA PNG have agreed with Poxie that control towers can provide weather reports and therefore enable flights to depart. 3rd world operation.

Bit Poxie in the @rse last night. Narita flight was a 738 instead of a more efficient and lighter 700. With Pom requiring an alternate due fog CS was planned. Only problem was they could only carry 20 of the 100 pax. As usual the guru's could not find a solution. Result was send them all with another airline but Poxie could not depart because they missed the curfew so they flew back empty this morning.

And as for faulty towers the tour pilots have had to move in but the problem is there is not much furniture etc. Turns out it is BYO black plastic sheets to use as curtains and scavenge the construction site to find spare plastic chairs to sit on. Apparently the floor is uncomfortable. Bloody ungrateful pilots!

From the horses mouth. Don't shoot the messenger. :)

Just received this little gem.

2 floors of Fawlty towers now have staff living inhouse even tho the builders said do not put anyone in before the end of January, it is not ready. Of course Poxie knows better.

So in go the staff and find the white goods are faulty, especially the microwaves. Turns out they have been in containers sitting on the wharf for over 12 months and fried the circuit boards. So back to the manufacturers and claim warranty repairs. Told sorry guys but warranty has expired while containers sat on the wharf. Bugger!

It has also been discovered that when you use the washing machines your floor may flood. Seems they forgot to connect the drain pipes to some machines. Bugger!

But who cares, they have heaps of money.

Hahahaha
😂😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

So who is living there?

Is it just the Techies or are they planning on moving everyone in?

What does that mean for the hill and other accommodation areas?

Other than that it sounds like a normal PX endeavour.

I have to say us touring engineers were lucky when we got turfed out of the Gateway in 2010 that we ended up in the new townhouses in East Boroko (owned by a mate of Wasie's), was a pretty good setup.

Some Expat middle management types and a couple of tour pilots living there atm. Not sure about furnishing for MNGT ones, but seems tour pilots have been scrounging what they can, resourceful types that they are :)....hearing black plastic curtain stuck to windows, that kinda things.

Building looks finished, but not much evidence of any furnishing etc. To PX credit it is a nice looking building, lovely gardens and nice pool, restaurant area and Pool Bar.

Rumour is that Disrupts will be housed there as well, prob the reason for the restaurant and Bar...but with no information being released to the crew, no-one knows.

Certainly better looking than the current crew * hole. All are supposing that it will be run by Coral Seas but the PX Pilot group have been left in the dark over the whole thing...prob Management don't know.

Think the Hill will remain for POM resident Crew, FA's etc etc etc.

It will be run by Coral Seas.

Currently has a mixture of pilots, as in Pom based from the 2 hotels and management from engineering etc.

All other crew, as in pilots, who are domiciled out of country will be moving in at the end of January..... if it is furnished.

At least the Arctic air-conditioners work very, very well.

As do the standby generators..... while they still have fuel in them. Once word gets out I am sure the rascals will have a field day!

Thread has drifted from LINKPNG.
It’s now more about the wonders of PX

Why are people moving in if the White Elephant isn’t complete?

Is the Crew going to be blamed re 738?

[QUOTE=olderairhead;10018514]It will be run by Coral Seas.

Mr Swire still got his sticky fingers in there....?
