Is TG a pride of the nation? Absolutely not, 1. The Airbus 300-600s are too old to be used in domestic flights while its airfare is two-fold higher than any other airlines. ( The secret that they use a brand new 330 to and from India because you guys fly to America with them a lot, so they put the new things for you first, and keep the old one for the poorer Thai) 2. The advertisement did not create a sense of being independence at all. 3. The airline still use the most corrupted way to recruit cabin crew ( you can see the result on board) On board, you can high status people are serving you. Some of them, unbelivably has the royal blood. How ridicurous that Blue blooded person has a will to serve the commoners. 4. THAI, actually is a racist word, I am not Thai, so why dont they just back to SIAM that means equality????????????? TG has already lost many of its lucrative routes due to the political pressure from the owner of SHIN corp who is also the prime minister of the country ( And the share of SHIN was just transferred to Singtel ). I dont want know Thai people let the prime minister own Air Asia, the rival of national carrier. TG has to pay more for landing fee and any other facilities fee, when BKKs hub is moved to SUWANNAPUM airport, the second international airport, while Air Asia will stay at Don Muang for the cheap landing fee. This most corrupted airline will be ruined soon by the most corrupted politician. Even though TG has a new colour on its aircraft, it doesnt make its image better. If you used to fly TG, you would agree with me that its not worth for your money at all.
