AOT PRESIDENT QUIT - What will happen to the ongoing negotiations with AOT by the protestors ?

Hi All. Too much excitement. Yesterday, AOT was brought to the negotiating table. Today the acting president quit. What will become of the residents staying around the Survanabhumi airport ? Anxiety. Frustration. Despair. Of course, they will tell the head of the protesters to hold their horses. Hold On. We also have our internal problems. Note: I can bet most of the AOT top management does not stay around the airport !

Last week, I wanted to negotiate a new repayment scheme for my mortgage of my house to the bank. I had been talking to one girl for the last two months. I found out last week that she had quit. Everything is now in a limbo. First they have to look for the file. The new person taking over her job have to look into the file. Currently, there is nobody assigned to take over from her job. I am at a loss. The interests on the outstanding principal is running. The bank is demanding their payment on schedule. The manager asked us to wait. They will get back to us as soon as possible.

Will this happen to the new agreement that is being worked out. Or as the AOT and the transport ministry replied on the papers, being considered. A working agreement requires certain signatures. It may be the board’s policy of the various authorities that they require an existing President to put his or her signature into the agreement. The AOT president Khun Kulya was reported to be discouraged and exhausted. Shall we read between the lines? Is there a lot of things frustrating her? We have read in the newspaper that Survnabhumi Airport is now mired in so many legal lawsuits. Poor workmanship, corruption etc etc etc. No wonder she is so tired.

A good solution is to look for good people. We may have to replace most of the older staff. They have got the airport into this mess in the first place. Are they still protecting their own interests? Are they protecting their own job? We do not know. But what we know is that They should work for the good of the Thai nation. Some of them from what we have read in the newspaper are being investigated by so many crime suppression agencies. Good luck to them.

How long does it take to select a new President ? They say one to two months at least. How slow the wheels of AOT turns ?

Hey….. you protestors at Survanabhumi airport against AOT and the government authorities. We need to have rules. AOT need to follow our own internal rules. We need to set up panels. We need to set up committees. We need seriously to look and consider your case. Nothing is easy. Failed Promises? This is Thailand . Wake up all of you Farangs living at Thanacity. In the meantime, we suggest that you wear earplugs and learn to live with failed promises.
