Thai Aviation Services (TAS) pilots work to rule

News has it that 20+ national pilots working for TAS (a CHC JV) in the Gulf of Thailand have all called in sick in retaliation for two FO's being wrongfully terminated. Any further news?

Just curious, are you working on hearsay data or is your info more concrete than that?

Not sure. When I saw Flapwing's post I asked a reliable source and lucky I caught him as he was headed out the door to the darkside. Might have to wait for a reply.
