Open letter to Mr Latheef( OPS & Marketing Director TMA)

I am very dissapointed that we lost our Hakuraa contract and soon be followed by Velidhu and also Vilureef and Velavaru. I am just wondering if this was fate or it is one of your hideous disguises to blame Mr Bram since you have been dying for his job for so long..

Well Latheef come to think of it we all know who you are. Wasnt it you who was fired from dhiraagu because you couldnt market the place when dhiraagu was the sole telecom operator..And then you joined MAT but didnt last their for long why? Well according to yourself you wanted to work in a 100% maldivian owned company but when you joined TMA we were partly owned by maldivians..

We all know you were offered the job under the disguise of marketing manager but actually you were working as a spy for champaa afeef.And your first mission was to send Mr Naeem off as he was the biggest threat so that been done you have been ranked as a director now..But I think its much worse now since we used to get MAT contracts when u were rather a manager..

So what has gone wrong Latheef? Do you really think that you can become the next tma managing director? I doubt it after all this company is very soon going to be owned and run by Gasim..and since Gasim doesnt want spies like you he will definitely find some one much better than u, you better start hunting for a job now...You must be pissing in your pants now realising this but I doubt anyone will have sympathy towards you as you are some one who steps on your fellow buddy to get what you want..

PS: Stop wasting your time at resorts with tma girls and study a bit about Airlines,Aircrafts before you give public interviews.

Caution...Turbulence ahead

Caution.... Turbulence ahead

 

My crystal ball predicts a very rough and turbulent time ahead for the 3 domestic Airlines in the Maldives.

 Firstly TMA's very own existence is in doubt within  the next year(2008). If you want to know why

continue reading... Looks like the war between our shareholders for majority has begun.

My predictions are TMA is going for a split between Hon. Burumaa Gasim  and  Mr.Champaa Afeef.

Since  it is going to happen Champaa Afeef is going to buy a major share  from Maldivian Air Taxi as sources

indicate  Mr Lars is going to sell his share and leave Maldives for good. And the funny thing is Mr Shiyam

from Suntravels also wants a piece from the cake. As for IAS is going to be up for public share company

and MD Bandhu has already confirmed he wants throw his towel and retire.

More predictions ahead...

TMA WAKEUP!!!!!!

I have seen ishan doing life raft training for the new ATR girls and there were the mangers staring from upstairs very tempted to jump into the water and teach the girls something....just kidding . I really hope ishan knows what he is doing training ATR cabin crews with a twinotto life rafts which has a capacity for 9 pax. last time i checked ATR carries more than 40 passengers which means the life rafts onboard will be bigger heavier with more emergency equipment inside the life raft. I believe the new cabin crews should be trained with the types of life raft onboard ATR and they should also be shown how to use the emergency equipment inside the life raft.On the other hand ishan might be doing this because TMA must have acquired approval from the ever helpful DCA to carry a 9 pax life raft to get some more payload. I suggest TMA to try and get the same deal for the ATR as for the twinotto remove the life rafts and give a mobile phone that would be even better payload wise. WHATEVER YOU DO REMEMBER ABOUT TITANIC.

For everyone who loves this company specially the managers CHALLENGE Mr. Bram Stellers regime . As we all no he has a big ego and to achieve his goals he will threaten people and try to take all kinds of short cuts which would result in our beloved company going into history books with a fetal incidence due to lack of training given to flight and cabin crews , engineers , dispatchers etc......... THIS NONE OF US WANT.

thank you

HAIL CAD!!

Being proven wrong, sometimes is a good thing. And this time it turns out to be a very good thing!

In an earlier post about the Maldivian Civil Aviation Department there was certainly a lot of truth. About the liferaft and other regulations which have been so easily "moderated" for the benefit of the operators regardless of safety concerns. There is no denying this. But now, dear readers, we are getting news of a totally different attitude from CAD.

The recently acquired blue and yellow ATR 42 by Trans Maldivian Airways is not getting airborne because of "short comings" sighted by CAD. Yes! Now you are doing your job!! Apparantly Mr. Bram Steller, who by the way has again proven he does not know anything at all about aviation, thought that he could get the ATR off its wheels without completing all required documentation, maintanence facility requirements and flight operations documentation. What he had in mind was that once the aircraft is in Male', CAD would fall into pressure and let the operation commence without proper facilities and documentation required for the Air Operators Certificate variation.

Mr. Steller thought he could puppeteer ex-CAD officials like Mr. Immak to use his influence to get the AOC "under the table". Now he must realize not everybody is a "Mansoor".

This will be a real turning point in Maldivian aviation if CAD is able to hold its ground. No doubt this will be a difficult task for CAD because for sure Mr. Steller will use all his resources; namely Mr. Gasim (now Speaker of the Special Majlis) and Mr. Afeef (Chariman of MTDC) to pressure Mr. Mahmood Razee.

Our sincere request to Mr. Gasim and Mr. Afeef NOT to interfere with the AOC variation process; this will prove to you that Mr. Steller is not competent to be the leader of your prestigious Airline in many ways.

The ATR touched down at Male' international airport on 24th April 2007. I invite all readers to include in their comments how and when they estimate the ATR to start flying.

1. Will it happen because Mr. Gasim and Mr. Afeef pressure CAD? How long will it be if this is the case?

2. Will Mr. Steller smarten up and get all the necessary requirements complete? And ofcourse how long will it take in this case?

Lets just hope TMA doesn't become the laughing stock of the whole industry because the Managing Director wanted to show off and bring the 4 million dollar airplane before he had all the documentation and facilities in order. How much will TMA spend on this operation before it even gets airborne? Will the airline bounce back? Or will its greatest achivement be the cause of its own demise?

Latheef (What a big joke)

On a resent interview for TVM regarding the new ATR latheef was asked a question about the age of the aircraft. The answer latheef gave was the only thing in an aircraft which ages was the serial number and all the other parts of the A/C will be replaced when it expires . So according to Latheef the first A/C ever built in the world will be still flying cause its just the serial number which gets old............what a big joke.I agree latheef knows something about marketing or maybe he just pretends but for sure he doesn't no anything about aviation.......

Next time send mansoor cause he knows about Aviation or If latheef decides to go again the answer for that question is not the serial number.......................????????????

DCA

DCA is run by the local airlines , I say that because the local airline get what ever they want when ever they want, i mean like exemptions for aircraft maintenance, extention of pilot duties you name it the operators get it from dca. A few years back MAT whent to DCA to get approval to remove the existing life rafts and replace it with a more modern life saving equipment called the mobile phone which had a capacity of 20 passengers plus it had lot of new features which the old life rafts lacked like messaging, wi-fi , bluetooth etc hahaha. So the Dca did a study and approved it.................guys who are we kidding we all no the mobile phone doesn't work at all between the atolls we fly into or in the open seas so please let us no how much the operators paid to get this thing approved from dca....,and for the operators please don't do stupid things like this to put on a few more bags its peoples life's we are talking about........

THANK U.................

ATR ATR ATR !! Gannaane BAA??

ATR ATR ATR !! Gannaane BAA???

Many of you have seen the newly painted "blue and Yellow" bird parked at Male' international airport. Is it beautiful?? ofcourse. Does it make you happy?? YES!! So when are you going to fly it? Errr... "I donno!!??...?"

Thats the answer most of the floatplane pilots who have broken their backs for years and helped TMA come up with the money for the ATR. But if you ask one of he IAS pilots they will answer without hesitation.."in 3 months time!" Thats the resignation notice they have to give IAS if they dont want to pay for their ATPL's or their ratings.

How do IAS pilots get the jobs you ask?? Simple. Its has all been planned long before.

1. Fire Mansoor from IAS.
2. Hire Mansoor at TMA.
3. Mansoor calls his buddies back to TMA offerring them peanuts and coconut shells as pay.

Peanuts and coconut shells?? Yes Fathey. Yes Muja!! Thats what they are going to pay you compared to market rates. You will be paid less than a starting junior captain at TMA. exactly 14.77% less!!.."

"They will increase our pay after sometime..." Keep DREAMING!!! you think IAS is bad about bonding and stuff?? Bram Steller will make you sign even for your weekly haircuts... let alone your bond for your ratings.

Back to you floatplane "suckers".. To generate the money needed to fly the 1st ATR in the Maldives you will have to crack your backs for another 2 years. DAMN!!! and they are bringing 2 more ATRs before end of the year!! HAHAHA!! SUCKERS!!! If you think you are worth something lets all unite? What to do you ask?? Kee Kuranee Dho?? Keep posting to this blog!! I heard even DCA people read this. Tell them about how you operate the Twin Otter. Tell them about today, when it rained non - stop in the evening just before dark!

"Razee won't care.".. maybe, but the tour operators and the passengers flying with you will definitely think twice!
