The charter flight ran from August 14, 2007 – August 16, 2007. Two cabin crews work the charter. One set is on the aircraft for over 24 hours. As the flight runs into minor difficulties, the exhausted crew struggles to cope, receiving no support from the pilots or from Orient Thai Management. David Singer, Orient Thai Airway's agent to the UN, is forced to step in and authorize a rest for the flight crew. http://investigateudom.smugmug.com/Zoos/Orient-Thai-Airlines-United/UNBriefingBoarding/355332043_TEHUr-Ti.jpg http://investigateudom.smugmug.com/gallery/5749659_Gb99z/ 2008-08-19T23:34:15Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
