    Oil now in bear country, down more than 20% from the recent high and the latest operating stat's looked very good. Headwinds abating and robust demand at better yields...and they seem to be coping with their engine drama's with about 6% more RPK's flown....Hmmmm

    On facevalue it does not look like they hire unqualified pilots:

    They would not use unqualified pilots. But their training to obtain their qualifications do not meet the standard required in many countries. In many Asian airlines the training is purely in a simulator until they do their first real flight as a second officer on a jet airliner. They do not go through the traditional flight schools that we have here in NZ, and many Asian pilots have never hand flown any aircraft in their entire career.

    The Asiana (Korean) flight 214 that crashed in San Francisco about 5 years ago had 3 pilots on board, none of whom were qualified to fly a visual approach as instructed.

    Something that gives quite a bit of comfort when aboard an AIR A320 landing in wild weather at Wellington, and yet another reason why Jetheap are on my never again list.

    Yes Winner, back above the 30 day MA line, starting to look more encouraging.

    New safety video a global hit with 6 million views in just the first day ! You can't buy publicity like that. The folks at the marketing department at AIR are real guru's !

    According to the “black box” data found in the Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft, the airspeed indicator malfunctioned on its last four flights but was replaced( by another faulty one?)
    Also suggests an "experienced "pilot should be able to deal with it.
