Obviously it won’t be called a bailout it will be labeled a restructuring and reform process designed to eradicate corruption and protect national interests just like the coup was. The Thai populace will moan for a few days on Facebook and then roll over for another tummy tickle. A pathetic spectacle all round. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I have enjoyed lots of flights with Thai Air and have always had good service, especially compared with Air Canada. I feel sorry for the pilots and especially the flight attendants and ticket counter staff. These people work honestly, unlike the shady owners of Thai Air. I do hope that a lot of these owners lose money trying to keep from going completely bankrupt. Actually if Thai Air does go bankrupt, it may not be the only airline to do so. Have to see how the Summer, Fall and this Winters flights add up, and we will see if some other countries airlines fold. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redline Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 In this atmosphere of massively depleted revenues, creditors will be going for blood. I’m sure the entire airline industry knows the corruption at THAI, and they will be willing to spend to get some cash back, and expose corruption. This should be entertaining. . I’m sure creditors can make agreements with other countries to hold planes for them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and the shares went to some local pension fund or similar in what I think was an off market transaction. So with that the government should walk away, probably not. Will be interesting to see what rises from the ashes. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i84teen Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I would be nervous and apprehensive flying on any bankrupt airline, especially if it's Thai Airways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
