I will immediately sack Faizal Abdullah for allowing Ong Tee Keat to fly for free. Come on, do you expect Ong to just drop by your office and say, 'I want to go to Kuantan' and you immediately prepare your flight plan and fuel up your jet without letting your customer know that he has to pay for it.

I do not think you ever took instructions from Ong, you would probably have taken instructions from your boss who may have told you to do the needful.

Any fool will tell you that US$40,000 is too much to bear for any private aviation company, unless there is a motive behind the free flight.

Hello Faizal, what sort of businessman are you, just because he is a politician you dare not invoice him. You mean to tell me that if he is a full fledged minister, you just have to "kow tow" to him and not issue an invoice or bill him for the flight. The flights were in February, March and April 2009, if you are not going to invoice him., how does he know how much he has to pay you.

Take this small advice, bill him now for the flights. I am sure he will pay up, if not ask your lawyer to issue a letter of demand.
