BE VERY CAREFUL of Brookfield
Im still owed many Euro from contracts with Brookfield and I have friends that spend many months getting paid from them.
As well, wire transfers that "mysteriously" got lost and took several months to resolve, though other Agency's never had a problem with my transfers.
Also, friends that had a great relationship with Brookfield. However, that doesn't recoup the Euro Im owed.

Nok, Expats and Kuhn Patee
Patee? Isnt he the guy that with "Tony-Ranban" tried to convince then "DGA", that Thailand should ban expat pilots and only promote within.
Guess what Patee. You saw what happened to Tony RanBan when he tried that concept at Thai Lion. Maybe CAAT has a job for you also.

Sorry to hear that IMBme to be fair they at least paid me on time in USD however they seemed to have no Firkin idea about Licensing in foreign countries etc etc nor cared as I guess like alot of these 44444's were simply cutting a so called management charge anyway.
BTW Do you mean Tony Rayban's?
If yes, he is a rather silly little legend in his own mind isnt he. I met him once while working in the land of smiles.

9*
To Funny, Elvis is at 9*.
So St Hill went over the hill again?, or he working for Elvis at 9*. I told him last year that you may shine at CX, but Cambodia and Thailand operate a bit differently.
Had dinner with some Korean friends that have been in SE Asia aviation for some time. Now they have started a leasing company and have a good handle on who is who in the Tourist Aviation market. In casual conversation, he mentioned that Crystal Thai had a little clout, U-airlines not much and 9* none at all. But no problem, Elvis will fix it.

Patee apologises in Nok damage control
Bookings down since Valentine's Day fiasco
Bangkok Post
Writer: Boonsong Kositchotethana
Position: Deputy Editor Business
Published: 7/03/2016 at 06:30 AM
Newspaper section: Business
Nok Air boss Patee Sarasin issued the company's first formal apology to customers on Friday, nearly three weeks after mass flight cancellations triggered by a pilot strike and sudden resignations.
His five-paragraph letter was emailed individually to customers by name largely to explain the issues that have troubled the budget airline since Feb 14.
In the letter, Mr Patee talked about the actions taken to address problems that led to some 20% of Nok Air flights being cancelled with several other flights operated by other airlines on its behalf through charter arrangements.
Some industry observers felt a formal apology was long overdue, a move to restore the airline's diminished credibility as shown by significantly slower bookings, clouding its business outlook. There has even been a management shake-up at the SET-listed carrier.
"Nok Air's name has definitely been tarnished by the turn of events and clearly it will take time to regain passengers' confidence," said an industry observer who requested anonymity.
"Much depends on how concrete the remedial action is, how well it is implemented and that no additional setback takes place."
A looming obstacle for Nok Air was the allegation by the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand that the airline and its pilots breached legal flight time limits over the past three weeks. That will raise questions about the airline's safety oversight, an issue that has plagued the kingdom's aviation industry in general.
If found guilty, Nok Air and pilots are subject to penalties such as fines and suspension of air operating licences, which could halt more flights.
In the letter, Mr Patee singled out the pilot strike on Valentine's Day for causing the fiasco, which has resulted in the airline operating at roughly a third of its capacity.
"We have been working on several issues in our organisation as the airline plans future cooperation with European partner airlines, and that requires Nok Air to upgrade its standards to the higher levels of the European Aviation Safety Agency," he said.
"As a result, certain pilots did not accept the changes and went on strike to express their discontent, which affected our passengers and was followed by additional pilot resignations, causing a pilot shortfall and more flight cancellations."
Some 20 pilots left Nok Air.

NOK Board of Directors
What I find truly amazing is after such a major disruption in credibility, public service and financial discord , the NOK BOD has not chimed in on this.
Any respectable carrier's BOD would have lost all confidence in Kuhn Patee by now and shown him the way out the front door....permanently.

Opinion about Nok Air
Hi all,
I am considering Nok Air for potential employment.
Not sure what is exactly going on there at the moment. Does anyone have any detailed information or any opinion from pilots who currently work there would be highly appreciated?
Cheers.

Can I ask typical package in Thailand for 738 line pilot?
Nok are probably not hiring any more expats until 2nd quarter 2017 though as numbers are stable. Though, a few more expats joining by the end of the year and recently took a bunch of ex TG pilots too.
Q400 hire is ramping up......
