Farang Flight Crews On Nok Air

**chitown** · 31-01-2008, 08:50 PM

Shocked to see a farang woman and man working as air hostesses on Nok Air. They were both from the UK. It sees Nok Air has leased some jets from a UK company by the name of Excel and in order to get them, they have to employ UK staff as the air hostess supervisor and pilots for at least the next 4 years.

Shocking that Thailand would allow such out sourcing of jobs

This would be better than being a TEFLer!!!!

Bring back "Nok Hunt!"

Passengers of the new Thai budget airline, Nok Air, will be thrilled to learn that the flight attendants entrusted to save their lives in a smoke-filled cabin will be selected on a TV game show called "Nok Hunt". Let's meet four of the hopefuls.
Going by the unfortunate name of Supaporn, this young lady might be flashing more than a smile to keep passengers entertained. "I am confident that I can make the flight enjoying for everyone" she says - and I don't doubt it for a moment.

"I have a lively personality" says Pui but, with only 16 points to her credit, it seems that even her own family can't be bothered to vote for her.

"My father is an eagle and my mother is a sparrow. That is why I should be on Nok Air" says Jah. Her delusion suggests that she might also be prone to opening the cabin doors at 36,000 feet just for fun.

Bee is Whippet's favourite and he tells me that "she struggled in the jigsaw puzzle round, but her rendition of hit me baby one more time was worthy of something" - mirth, I expect.

I'm not making any of this up. Nok Air really does exist (Nok means bird in Thai) and "Nok Hunt" goes out on Tuesdays at 10 pm on UBC 35. Here's a clip featuring our 20 would-be trolley-dollies facing their tough challenges in swimwear.

The best bit is actually the commentary. It's all in Thai but the final sentence goes like this - "Blah blah blah... blah blah blah... blah blah blah... Nok Hunt!"

Some of them don't have any tits either.

The fact that this even got a reaction in Thailand shows the nationalistic racist bullshit mindset here.

Go into any thai restaurant in the UK and it is staffed by thais. go into a western restaurant in thailand and it is staffed by....thais.

Insular little shits.

**chitown** · 31-01-2008, 10:33 PM

I would not want to waiter in Thailand or anywhere for that matter. Would bore me as much as TEFling would.......

How do you reconcile any of that with your propensity to compare relative economic strengths between the UK and Thailand.

He can't. His posts are 99.9% drivel that spew forth his hate and negativity about Thailand.

^ You are right, but you wouldn't be allowed to here anyway, so don't worry about it.

To waiter or TEFL? - I have done one and been asked to do the other. So what are talking about?

**britmaveric** · 31-01-2008, 11:09 PM

Never seen a english FA on Nok Air, the pilot was an english bird. Now that was interesting.

**Rattanaburi** · 01-02-2008, 06:35 AM

Don't speak too loudly. The Thais will protest.

actually i agree with you here.

The indonesians are just as fucking bad!

**Texpat** · 01-02-2008, 08:37 AM

^ I find that funny in a screwy, evil sort of way.

Smoking holes dot the Indonesian countryside where passenger jets made their final approach in farmer's fields, rain forests and suburban neighborhoods.

Indonesians, of all developing countries, should welcome a bit of advanced western logic, management, personnel, ethics and maintenance into their aviation industry. I'm not suggestion airlines from the west are without fault, rather, the incidents are far less frequent.

Absolutely, but that would mean they had to admit to having a problem, which would be a serious loss of face (since someone is clearly not able to do their job), which is why it never happens.

In this respect, Indonesians aren't that different from Thais.....

exactly. The place I work at is exactly the same, Indonesian managerial positions to mirror all the expat positions, because god forbid that we have only an expat doing a job - ppl might think that an indo is not as capable.....

Wet Lease Plane comes with crew
Dry Lease Plane only.

You shouldn't be shocked as I posted a thread about this 2 months ago.
