PC Air

[Arcadian]

Have I missed any comments on HHAD regarding PC Air who are recruiting Ladyboys as flight attendants for their new airline operating from Thailand to other Asian destinations?

I'm a fully paid up member of the mile high club (honest) and I would not bother flying with them.

You would never get in the loo, as the Stewards/stewardesses would always be in there touching up their faces, amongst other things.

Where did you pick up this information?

From their own website:

- Excellent communication skills – both Thai and English.
- Smart personality with positive and caring attitude.
- Able to swim (minimum of 50 meters)

Able to swim (minimum of 50 meters)

Do they intend not to crash any further than 50 meters from land...?

I laughed at that also. I think all the airlines have that minimum requirement. I guess so they can say their flight staff have all the qualifications needed in any emergency....like getting away from the plane before it sucks you down when it sinks. Pete

I think past and possibly a present part of military helicopter pilot training is wearing full fight gear, and be strapped into a seat in a mock up cockpit frame, the whole thing turned upside down and dropped into a pool. The trainee then has to extract himself before of course....he drowns. Divers in the water and standing by for assistance. Now there's a flight crew requirement they should think about. Pete

Not only Military, Pete. I have been through the training numerous times while working Offshore. (not as flight crew). It is called H.U.E.T., and is now pretty much a requirement anywhere in the World for Offshore workers travelling by helicopter.

There is a training facility in Bangkok that offers it, but I have not attended that one.

...and here is H.U.E.T. fully explained with video. Pete
