Fly cheap

When are SLFs going to learn....flying cheap almost always mean selling yourselves short! Low cost almost certainly means cutting corners in almost everything, from crew training and qualifications, maintenance, safe practices etc. Low cost apologists... flame me as much as you want, I know and I used to fly for a loco too. Scared the hell out of me as cost cutting led to cutting corners all round; I was out of there real fast.

Lightbulb Fatal Crash

A passenger plane crashed while landing in Phuket on Sunday. Thai firefighters attempted to put out the fire as rescuers helped the survivors, while as many as 110 were feared dead.
