@Jesie:

I hope they do pay. The services is getting worst and worst. I don’t think I will ever flight with EVA. I could not even get a cookie on the flight. Their booking system sucks too. I was unable to find any return flight to US until a day before the departure. Anyway, I have heard that too much political involvement between Taiwan Gov and the company.

By the way, their airplane is better than many other airline companies though.

Terence,
The technical team of the engineering company that maintains EVA airplanes have to pay a penalty for making any minor error so that they are more careful.
But I never knew the crew on EVA is not that great on its inflight service. I wonder what will happen if they too have to pay a penalty for complaints on their service.

@gale:

That’s right. I miss the food there. The funny thing was that I have to transfer flight, but I don’t have time to visit my friend in Taiwan. Well. I am sure you can find some good Taiwanese food in US.

Thank you for stopping by!

@Jesie:

WOW. I did not know that the staff have to pay back to the company. That does NOT sound a good offer to the employees. I just don’t think EVA’s on flight service is good enough.

I hate the pollution and traffic in Taiwan too. I was there for only 1 week.

My brother worked in Taiwan for serveral years maintaining the airplanes for EVA. He was not interested in any promotion. Anyway, he passed his exams and was promoted. In a junior position, if anyone in the department was discovered to have make a mistake, the whole team would have to pay to the Company. The more senior you are, the more you will have to pay.

If the engineering/maintenance team have to pay for their mistakes, I believe all will have to work hard to the best of their knowledge and ability to make sure that the planes are in super condition. So I think it’s a good bet. But I have not flown on one yet.

@viviane:

Yeah. I hate the pollution in Taiwan, but I love the foods there. I am glad that you like Yilan. Let me know if you visit Taiwan again. I can give you some suggestions.

@Former Backpacker:

Thank you for stopping by. I know a lot of things about Taiwan. I lived there the first 28 years of my life.

I admit that the air pollution is very bad there and I don’t like the earthquake. So I moved to US.

I have now just land in Hong Kong with Typhon ..
