17 pilots quit in 'normal' exodus
At least 17 Nok Air pilots have quit the company, a day after the airline's top executive dismissed as false an earlier report about pilots quitting in response to recent flight cancellations. Tuesday he had insisted no pilots had left the firm. A source at Nok Air said that, as of Tuesday, as many as 17 pilots tendered their resignations which will take effect next Tuesday. The company has a total of 192 pilots. According to the source, more resignations are expected following the Feb 14 strike. Nok Air CE Patee Sarasin admitted Wednesday that a number of pilots had resigned but refused to specify the number. He downplayed the effect of the pilots quitting, saying other airlines also see people come and go. He said Nok Air's turn-over was being linked to the Feb 14 pilot strike. <br/>
