Thai in Trouble.

Sounds like they have the same problem that MH has... used as a private service for pollies who get things for free and help them remain unprofitable. At the same time, I believe they've both recently devalued their loyalty programs, which has probably scared customers away.

Their total losses translate to AUD$13.5B!

Dare I suggest that MH is run like a well-oiled machine compared to other airlines out there

MH hasn't devalued in over 2.5 years [insert badge of honour here]. I guess they're due for another one soon now the locals have the controls again.

In fairness to Thai, I hope they can open up to non-Thai folks helping out. They're a great airline for passengers and could be even greater on the business side with an extra helping hand. No so smooth roads ahead.
