Thai Airlines - please teach us how to fly
Straight from the Boeing newsletter.
Also, they admit we are the worst airline operating in the USA, directly from the FAA.
Solution: Maybe we should ban all manual flying. Because that worked so well with Asiana.
This place sucks.

So we've had the SAME personalities in charge of "training" for at least the last 15-20yrs. The good ones having been forced out or frustrated out.
Cut backs and serious decline in standards makes me think it's time for change at the top of the training ladder, not creating more positions for the same old same old.....
Lets bring in some fresh blood who can actually teach people to fly big jets.....
oh wait hang on.... there's a training ban, I wonder why??

I suspect they fly the carnarsie RNP AR regardless of approval or not. I often hear other carriers requesting it with the caveat " visual" added.
CX are not allowed to select it from the data base, and with our diminishing hand flying skills and lower experience levels the bleeding obvious results.
If TG are in fact utilizing the approach without approval......it is probably a good thing for all in the air and on the ground......if you know what I mean!

They are separate issues. The FAA has said we are the worst airline in terms of ATC deviations in the entire USA.
We have screwed up so many times in Zurich that the Swiss sent us some radar tracks of Thai compared to us and we're like "WTF??? Even Thai is doing better than you."
But don't worry the Fleet Office yammered about it and got some "likes."

You start to get the feeling that something ominous and life-changing is about to happen to our operation. Every edge is fraying, and meanwhile management seem to think that spending money on new paint is equivalent to an 'industry leading' strategy. Rostering, leave, SOP's, housing, fatigue, training, checking, catering, maintenance, etc, etc. What a shambles.

Have to agree with the FUB.
Zurich:
No problem on the 'bus..... but the ground was a bit close in the turn.
Hang on, !! it was no problem on the Classic either.
What's changed for the B777? Too much hair gel??

The problem isn't with the 777, it's the fact that our very inexperienced S/Os are now upgrading. The problem on the 777 is compounded by the fact that they aren't getting sectors. The events will continue, and will continue growing in frequency.
Zurich on the other hand, come on gents, there are 3 of you, plus the kid.... Someone needs to be paying attention.
