Worrying
I have to say I find it worrying and amazing that any of you guys are flying any kind of planes.The standard of english is poor, and even more worrying you all behave like school children and should all go back to the classroom.You are like small children trying to outdo each other at name calling.I wonder how any of you got through pyschological testing???!!! Please let us all know who you all fly for so we can avoid those airlines.I certainly wouldn't want to be a passenger with any of you lot in control.........scary thought!

Who says UL Flt Ops is not up to spec???
From today's Daily Mirror . . .
Efficiency of SriLankan Airlines’ Flight Operations receives
ISO 9001:2000 approval
SriLankan Airlines added yet another feather to its cap when the efficiency of its Flight Operations Department won the important ISO 9001:2000 accreditation recently.
The Flight Operations Department plays a vital role in the flight safety aspects of the National Carrier, and includes the training and day-to-day operations of its pilot cadre.
Captain Dick Hutton, Chief Technical Officer at SriLankan, said: “Our passengers and institutional customers will be pleased to see this further evidence of the efficiency of our systems and staff. These standards have a direct bearing on the quality of service we are able to provide them.”
The airline is currently carrying out a companywide project to implement the Japanese 5S system, and several other departments are in the process of obtaining ISO accreditation. The project in the Flight Operations Department involved the total commitment of every employee, and included the implementation of both ISO standards and the 5S system.
Capt. Milinda Ratnayake, Senior Manager Flight Operations, said: “It is not easy to implement these standards in a vibrant operational area such as the Flight Operations Department of an airline and few airlines have opted to try. It’s much easier in offices where there is less day-to-day interaction with external parties and less rapid real-time operations. We are thankful to our consultants, Swiss Advantage, who assisted us greatly.”
The process involved the complete overhauling of all work practices and systems, and includes a comprehensive system of continuous improvement to identify possible bottlenecks. 5S Audits are carried out regularly, and an Audit Team checks on the progress of ISO systems.
Capt. Nanda Nadarajah, who heads the ISO Team, said: “We took this step forward with the ultimate goal of achieving 100% customer and stakeholder satisfaction, and to continuously improve our services. ISO is the world's largest developer of standards and these standards safeguard consumers. We carry out regularly scheduled surveys with our customers, to identify their needs and how best to satisfy those needs. These surveys also provide important feedback on areas for improvement.”

Talk of fat asses, overweight smelly pilots, shawarmas (forgive the spelling), sweets, inability to fly ILS & NDB approaches & rife corruption within the ranks. Are you guys really serious about a career that needs professionals orientated towards safety & service & not bickering school children?
I'm sure that half of you who do make it to the flight deck would not survive outside of Sri Lanka within the aviation working environment. I can clearly see why Sri Lanka's aviation industry is in complete and utter disarray. Someone needs to report this all to ICAO soon. I know my pax feel safe in my a/c - I'm not sure after reading this anyone would in a Sri Lankan a/c.
I'm surprised the mods didn't shut down the thread, due to the lack of any real info. However, it has made us all laugh at the lot of you
As somebody posted earlier:
God save the Queen and Bless Sri Lankan cos they will definitely need it!
Still laughing...

bravo HPcock
finally an outsider who can speak the truth about this forum. Let me clarify something first though, i've observed this thread and a previous one from last year and im gunna name someone here...its always UL501 who starts all the bull****. Some of the stuff he says is typical and it makes me wonder why i bother reading this forum but sometimes someone comes up with some meaningful info and almost immediately ul501 puts his 2 cents in and disregards it.
I think his favorite words are forgettttt about sri lankannnn....must be hoping we do so he has more chance. Last year it was his duel with sharuk khan and now it seems he has something against far cry.
In case anyone wants to know, sri lankan prefers JAR atpls so id recommend studying JAR if you wanna pass the tech exam.
heres to more civilised posts!

Corruption and ISO
First of all what we all have to belive is Srilankan takes whome they want...... so once again we can see 14 lucky guys got in.... I can remember Once a Capt told me in Far east where he has done a sim chek for One of the prospective Cadet Pilots in 2005.
He said ' machan I dont know why this guys was asked to come and do the Flight test becaose he was already given the letter of appoinment to attend the A320 ground school even before he left Colombo.' so why Srilakan sent him and two others ( mind you this is after they waived off the time to conver the license too in that intake for these three cadets ) to SIN for the flight test if one of them already has been selected for the Ground school, this is maily just to show that they go according to the rules etc etc ,, so if they want somebody the they will take him,, so this chap Chanaka was very lucky ......... to get chosen for the !320 ground school before flying to Sin for the flight test ... hahahaha
I dont want to repeat how many times they wavied off Educational qualifications to take their own people.
Flight ops getting ISO... well Capt Milinda should get a ISO rating for hiself for surviving as Flight Ops manager ,
1/ for sending pilots to the SIm with Expired licenses
2/ taking and accepting cadets with less qualifictaions
3/ giving false information
4/ sending a Pakistan pilot dressed as a Srilankan to the sim so that he does not have to go through the strict Visa process
5/ sending Pilots qith less hrs to the command and upgrading when there are pilots with more hrs ( breaching company rules)
6 / playing and helping pole dancing in his office
7/ recruting pilots with less hrs and expired license without letting the CAA
etc etc ..
8/ Grounding a Captain for safety reasons and then ask him to fly when the president is flying....
after for went and hiding in Aussi for his safety but being Lucky to survive this long,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,well done Captain ////
after all Capt Dicky,,,, you need a ISO plus a Blood test certificate when you go to BangCOck,,,, we see you with TWO hookers at once ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, with your age can you handle Two at Once you Prick?

Look guys, this is a thread on an issue relating to Sri Lankan Airlines, and the Sri Lankan pilots there are guys who study English as a second language in school. They put great effort into obtaining professional qualifications in a foreign language, and have proved themselves professionally competent.
I am amazed that some of you think that one has to proficient in English to be a competent pilot.
.
English is referred to as 'kaduwa' (sword) in Sri Lanka because all too often it is used by the mediocre with a good command of the language to cut down those of ability who did not have the good fortune to study this rather useful legacy of colonial subjugation.

. The last time I transmitted, I was sure that English was the medium of communication.
Granted, there are some people who have difficulty comprehending & transmitting in English, but surely there has to be some sort of rectification before jumping into the flight deck - usually the responsibility of a good aviation authority. Evidently not Sri Lankan's. Communication is such a pivotal part of the process in flying an a/c. Remember when your instructor told you to "Aviate, Navigate & Communicate."

"of only ordinary or moderate quality; barely adequate."
"poor and not of a good standard"
Kind of sums up the standard of Sri Lankan's pilots & the state of aviation over there.
