Unbelievable but true, the 2 geniuses did left the gear down for 1H, before some other VNA airplane told them the LDG was down !

It happened departing narita. They couldn't understand why they missed a climb restriction.

safelife 27th Nov 2016 13:09

They probably couldn't understand each other either. Pretty loud once you speed up.

3 of them were in the cockpit, departing from Fukuoka

But not as bad as not pressurising an A350!

With the prime minister on bord. He does not want to be flying with vietnameses in the cockpit , anymore .

kimono1950 28th Nov 2016 08:57

I forgot, they almost destroyed a brand new A-350, 1 week after receiving it. Hopefully an Airbus TRI was on the RHS to avoid the disaster. The popgun on charge came from the ATR fleet.

NB : an 787 have been AOG for 2 week, because the vietnameses Topgun forgot to set the parking brake in some japanese airport .

Wasn't it the Minister of Transport?

Who cares ? :rolleyes:

Kimono 1950, Why are shooting such BIG BULL****?
Are you frustrated because you fail VNA interview for the upgrade? ( THANKS GOD)
IT is not true that VNA does not upgrade expat anymore!!!
Unless you are kimono 1950...

kimono1950 28th Nov 2016 18:43

Bulh**** ????

Dear all
Follow VNA planning about the number of A/C of A330 fleet in next year 2017, we will keep only 4 A/C until 2019. There fore not so many flights for you, VNA suggest you transfer to A350 ASAP because no more change for FO upgrade to Capt A321. Please register to move A350 with Ms L-i before 30th November 2016. ( Interview on 06 and 13 December 2016).
Thank you very much.
Ms L-i


there is the email received by all expat FOs

Now who is the bull**** artist ?

safelife 29th Nov 2016 00:11

Why do you need to apply, do an interview to move from 330 to 350?
That's the same type rating after all...

kimono1950 29th Nov 2016 08:24

Not in VNA, they need your cash ! They want you to do a full type rating ???? !!!!!!

safelife 29th Nov 2016 08:28

That's weird. In China they even want to fly 330+350 mixed fleet. Fly 330 today, 350 tomorrow.

kimono1950 29th Nov 2016 08:52

Like in a good communism country, VNA likes the US $.

safelife 29th Nov 2016 11:34

Back to the topic; how's the profile of an A321 crew schedule? Lots of layovers? Longer or shorter flights?

duyen 11th Dec 2016 01:48

I was just wondering if that sour faced jerk off Ms Giang is still working in rostering?

safelife 20th Dec 2016 21:41

Thank you. And I thought my outfit was bad at that.

kimono1950 21st Dec 2016 00:16

VNA is runned by incompetents. All the B-777 expats have been fired , at the same moment 8 A-350 are coming and no SFOs want to go there. ( 55 000 US$ to pay ).

People stay away from this low grade so call flag carrier.

kimono1950 4th Jan 2017 03:58

For the gents who were thinking joining VNA, the latest is the following :

All B-777 expats have been fired
No more upgrading to PIC for the expats
More than 70% of the A-330 expat crew will be fired
35 A-321 expat FOs have been fired
The P2F is the norm for the new expats
100 vietnameses cadets will take your RHS
All the low experienced viet FOs will take your LHS

After that, good luck for the agencies to find new idiots to come to this low grade crap ! :ugh::mad:
