Changing their name again? Didn't Phuket Air just change their name to Suvannabhumi Airlines a few months ago? Oh well, it worked for Value Jet, didn't it?

Heard they are paying past payments to crews, It sounds better this time around.
They have long term contracts and possibly may make it this time.
The EU ban has been lifted.
Think it may be worth a look/see, things have changed there.
They are advertising for crews now on climbto350.com
Think from what I have heard they need expats, the locals did not work out so well last time and caused the company to fail.
And to add they will pay your ticket down E-ticket.
If anyone has any different information, please post it here before many take a chance on this and not get paid.

" the locals did not work out so well last time and caused the company to fail."

They were very few local B747-200 work for them last time.
Most of that fleet were expat so I don't think that's a reason.
The problem was they expanded too fast and didn't have enough fund to cover all expense and also poor management.
Be careful.
