CRIMINALS! This AIRLINE posted my PASSPORT online! 

Hey Josh, I thought the Qatar Airways incident was a nightmare but this one is way worse. By the way, what has been happening with the Qatar Airways incident?

The fact that Aero Dili still wants to fly to Singapore even when they breached personal data protection laws is just abominable. No paid passenger should have to experience this. They probably targeted you because you are a flight reviewer, and that in itself is discrimination.

Wow that's just unbelievable, well its actually not because a lot of these cultures take constructive, unbiased criticism as a personal insult instead of seeing it as most western cultures do a means of improving there customer service to avoid litigation and bad revues which inturn leads to loss of revenue .... for a Pilot to publicly name, shame, threaten & insult a passenger what can you say other than he needs a full physical, mental and drug test plus put on unpaid leave, preferable permanently blacklisted the world over...stay strong Josh so glad you alerted the world this disgraceful airline, hopefully Singapore will have the fortitude and ban them but money speaks more than customer safety

When the guy who ******** up doesn't realise you're NOT Sam Chui 🤣

As a German citizen your gdpr covers you abroad as well. Meaning they can’t process your data without permission. It doesn’t matter what country you fly too.

Aero Drama

The fact that this incident makes Air Conflict looks good is itself an achievement…

ryanair aint even that bad@aviation473

😅

Hope Aero Dumbass doesn't last long

Thank you for stepping up to the plate on this one sir. Josh does need all the help he can get from professionals like yourself who know wrong doing when they see it.

This is the power of community! Good call.

He's an EU citizen, so GDPR should protect him even though the airline isn't and doesn't operate in the EU

Kurniawan your argument is non sense, as I mentioned above if Josh credentials posted in someone's private social Media how you report the airlines? This things happened in Indonesia, and I think Acacio is an Indonesian citizen because he lives in Bali as I knew, if acacio posted josh's passport in his private social media why you blame the airlines? The guy must be one of the manager in Bali ground handling and josh review of food poisoning under his responsibility that this why I though he tried to created an argument to cover him. I sugest josh to contact the airlines about this person responsibilities for his unprofessional actioned,.if aero Dili did not take any actioned means Aero Dili concerns about that behaves and behind it, than Josh have the argument to scalate this report to relevant entities..its a private airlines nothing to do with Timor Leste government,.but to stop aero dili to fly to Bali and Singapore maybe only on social media, its not going going to happen because Aero Dili is the first private airlines in Timor Leste it probably gets support from the authorities over there.so you said to stop Aero Dili fly to Bali Timor Leste also maybe will stop Indonesia airlines fly to Dili that is why I said your argument is to funny.

Fully support to ban this airline to Bali, hopefully worldwide

This! Getting any legal action with Dili will be next to impossible. However, being IATA , they adhere to ticketing laws and IATA must revoke their tickets.

@@awesomehli, IATA can't revoke their tickets, and in theory it's perfectly possible to run an airline, even internationally, without an IATA membership or interference. However, in practice it's very hard and hurtful to their pockets to do so. Their ability to receive connecting passengers and to sell their tickets through other airlines is severely impaired, to the point of making the business unsustainable. So, going the IATA route is a better way of getting things done about a rogue airline than judicial litigation (which, just for a start, has jurisdictional problems) - as long as IATA becomes interested in taking any action, which is not guaranteed.

Lawyer s in indo start praying

Indeed someone higher up that allows these junk airlines to operate have to take responsibility, file suit for sure. Total invasion of privacy and putting you at risk on every level.

Yes, you should absolutely sue them for millions and do everything imaginable to make it hurt so much that they’re forced to cease operations as a company.

i expect he's done this already.

@@Pies. I do hope so.. 👍

@@hazy0077 pretty sure this was the first thing he did (well i hope it was lol)

Not only replace it but inform your government agency as to what has happened… in the interest of its citizens…

If you are abroad then it can be tricky & you have to wait for weeks to get your new passport if you managed to get to another country that isnt the issuer of the passport...

I think that is a good idea Glen 👍

Don't wait, they're useless, they stole my wife's iPad last year and never got back to me. Better to fly on air Afghanistan than Aerodili

I doubt they will reply to your email mate

No reply from this airline. Am i surprised, well, NO. I vote with my feet and will now change the airline all of my staff fly with.

​@@glenstod Yep. You don't need Aerodili to get to Dili.

Yes they should

he should inform the FAA

@@milenatomanic25they don’t fly to the US. FAA is an American governmental agency only having authority in the US.

@@milenatomanic25Wouldnt be a bad idea.

@@milenatomanic25how would the FAA help, they dont fly to the US

Unfortunately, they also have a monopoly (especially in poorer countries) so they feel untouchable because people need access to air travel. I'm shocked with what they did to Josh.

@@danielmorris6523 Aero DIli have 2 dayli flights 1 Dili to Bali, 2 Bali to Dili. I flew with Citylink, Bali-Dili and returned 4 days leiter with them to Bali, in the middle of January, So no, Aero Dili do not have a monopoly. Also, Qantas flyes from Darwin to Dili. That is all sheduled international flights at Dili Airport. It makes it even more unbelivable that the station manager at Denpasar was not pressent the 1 to 1,5 hours their plane where at the ground there.

Without government funding, a lot of Airlines wouldn't exist either.

We need a Boycott of East Timor!

Get all tourists to BOYCOTT East Timor!

It’s not your fault! You don’t need to apologise! Bless you!

Agreed

Erh, how come yr SG passport got yr IC number one? SG passport has passport no only leh…

@@davidcks your passport must be old.

​@@rubicon24 But old passports have IC because that used to be the passport no. right?

NO ITS REALLY GOOD AND ITS BETTER THAN ALL OF THE CHEAP CARRIERS IN INDONESIA, ITS A REALLY GOOD AIRLINE

I'm sure they'll now get 5 stars from Skytrax

😂😂​@@adam.dzwoniarek72

Aero Dili is not a registered member of IATA. An IOSA safety audit is a requirement for membership.

​@@adam.dzwoniarek72lol

correct!@@gregorylocke

Singapore is known for taking their safety protocols very seriously

I agree, Singapore will very likely take this very seriously. It's a place where you can get into big trouble just for dropping litter.

​@@digidol52 Definitely 100%

Singapore does take safety seriously.

As a cis white European male my privilege means that I know little about intersectionality based challenges, but while I could be wrong I have the impression that Singapore may not be among the most humane of sovereign communities with respect to LGBT+ rights, so the puke from Aerodili may be mistaken enough about the importance of the implied bigotry to actually understand how little it matters among the Singapore authorities compared to the doxing. Another sad but amazing example of how good Josh is at what he does.

it cost too, but less

@@herrys6752@herrys6752 I am not sure about Josh, but usually, in Germany, we all, or the majority of individuals, have Legal issues insurance (Rechtsschutzversicherung), which covers all costs of the legal process, lawyers, etc. As Josh works, so to say, as a business (I assume), he should have both professional liability and legal issues insurance.

I highly doubt EASA has jurisdiction reaching that far. The only thing they can probably do is put them on the blacklist... But i would pick IATA & Indonesian authorities in this case if it was me

The problem is to hit Aero Dili on a German court as Aero Dili has no Busines in Germany. Wherher ist possible to hit Aero Dili in Indonesia or East Timor is a question on the laws and maybe your status and money spent right there

​@skylineXpert East Timor is a sovereign state, it has nothing to do with Indonesia.

He's like the RCMP in Canada or the Federal's in Chile. He is an unbribeable and honest cop.

@@CumulusGranitistooo bad, Trudeau has lobbied RCMP ! RCMP is now the most corrupt police agency in Canada

You probably won't. They only have 1 fleet of airbus + 1 cessna. The main route is only Denpasar-Dili. Unless you're going to East Timor (which is super boring, nothing exciting there. Unless you're missionary I guess), you'll never fly with them.

@@EnseaclopediaBRO TIMOR IS FUN WHAT R U ON 😭

I did and had only good experiences.

Sorry, no offense meant, but if you're talking about the East Timor authorities, that's highly unrealistic. East Timor is a small, young country (just over 20 years old) that's still building its institutions from scratch. In such countries, the relationship between the state and the private sector is highly promiscuous, and although Aero Dili is a private company, it's acting as an instrument of their state policy for aviation. The government needs private sources of financing and support more than the other way around. Aero Dili is said to be owned by the richest man in East Timor. That man probably owns a large portion of the country's economy and land, and certainly has immense power and influence on the government. It's not even about corruption, what you would call by that name is only a small facet of a much deeper and more complex relationship, and you can be sure that it's not in their MUTUAL interest that any kind of punishment is applied.

@@goytabr You are right about everything you wrote, but you forgot one crucial piece of information, namely: Mr. Josh Cahill is a German national and thus EU national. The EU has very strict data protection laws, and Limor Leste is one of the privileged countries on the Schengen Annex 2 list of countries, whose passport holders that do not need a visa for Schengen agreement member countries. An abuse of someone’s personal data like this one is a valid reason for revocation of the visa free regime and subsequent removal from the Annex 2 list, so Timor Leste government should be very very careful and they should do everything in order to mitigate the situation. They aren’t Microsoft, Google or Apple, and even those big names felt the anger of EU on their shoulders. Remember, visa free entry to the EU for third country nationals is a big privilege, not a right. Only EU nationals have right to enter any EU country, the rest of the world doesn’t.

@@mitjaoblak708, I very much doubt that the EU would change its foreign policy toward an entire geopolitically strategic and potentially oil-rich country because of one Internet incident with one ordinary EU citizen, even if a legal link between GDPR and the Schengen visa policy (which are overseen by different institutions) could be established (which is doubtful). Besides, if it came even close to that, the East Timorese government would try to place the blame on a "private company" (which would get a public slap on the wrist) and deny any state involvement. What could be possible would be for the EU to defer some aid payment while the case is investigated, but again, I doubt that Josh is a big enough fish for them to have the political will to risk their relationship with a strategic state for him. The way the Internet is full of all sorts of cyberbullying and slander everywhere all the time, soon they wouldn't have a sound foreign policy if they reacted that way to every such case. If Josh had been physically attacked while in East Timor and the government could be blamed for that, it could be a different story, but even that would still be weighed against other state and foreign policy interests. They don't even do much about the dozens of EU journalists and voluntary health professionals that routinely suffer violence and even are killed in many parts of the world.

And a parade each month for josh

He is.

What do you mean authoritarian? The airline involved (Aero Dili) is based in East Timor which is a democracy last I checked. Also the airline is a private business and I doubt the East Timor government had anything to do with what happened.

While it is correct, there is no authoritarian government involved in this case. So it is really beside the story and problem at hand.

@@jfwfreo, being realistic, East Timor is formally a democracy, but then so are Russia and Venezuela, for example, so this is not really an argument. For all I know, it's not essentially authoritarian as those countries, but East Timor is a young country (just over 20 years old) that is still building its institutions from scratch. It would be naïve to expect those institutions to function as well as they do in mature, consolidated democracies, especially considering how poor the country is and the scorched earth that centuries of Portuguese colonialism followed by decades of Indonesian occupation, both brutal, left behind there. Everything, including the institutions, had to be built up from scratch, and that's an ongoing process still in its early stages. (No, this is NOT an excuse for anything, but it does illustrate how one can expect things to be very precarious there in all respects.) I have heard many good things about the efforts that the East Timor government is making to build the country (and I'm from Brazil, a fellow Portuguese-speaking country that for this very reason has many collaboration and aid projects with East Timor, seen both as a little brother in need and as a potentially strategic ally in Southeast Asia, and therefore we have an above-average amount of information and news about it). Still, this doesn't change the fact that East Timor is both a very poor and a very small country, and in such countries the relationship between the state and the private sector is extremely promiscuous and has blurred lines. There's no reason to expect East Timor to be any different in this respect. What you would call "corruption" is merely one aspect of a much deeper and wider systemic relationship. "Corruption" is even a simplistic term to describe a deeply intertwined partnership. Things run much deeper than that because inequality is also rampant and those few who have a lot of money have as much power to influence common people's everyday lives as the government does, if not more. They often have more resources than the goverment, which can't afford to ignore them. I read that Aero Dili is owned by the richest man in East Timor. You bet this man controls a sizable portion of the nation's GDP, land, and infrastructure, and even the government depends on him. That's the reason why you see so many young Third World countries nationalizing everything and confiscating private property - that's to eliminate competition in power. East Timor has not gone that route, but it's more likely that the government and the state institutions have to play by the local tycoons' rules than the other way around. I agree with you that blaming this state of things on an "authoritarian government" is totally off the mark in this case, especially considering that Aero Dili is indeed a private company. However, one must also not forget the promiscuous partnership between the private and the public sector there, plus the fact that Aero Dili is still acting as an instrument of a state policy, even if privately owned, and that the East Timor government is obviously turning a big blind eye to what the company is doing, because it's in their MUTUAL interest that it does so. Don't forget that.

Stop throwing these sort of words at people you don't like. It's like calling someone gay or a commie just because you don't like them.

But it's not the place to be retaliating, the world if full of influencers, good ridings to them.

Why? Josh is German and Aero Dili doesn't fly to the US and wil probably not fly there in the next 20 years. Also thei plane is not a US buildt plane.

​@@hmsagbakken It is a preventative measure. As long as US NTSB is notified by this type of complaint, it will be noted on their system that they received report that named staffs from Aero Dili has been threatening a passenger and homophobic in nature, that which not tolerable in any flying airlines in the United States. Regardless of the Citizenship of the complainant, air safety and such belligerent behavior from any staffs are not tolerated to any aircrafts flying the airspace of the United States. It could affect future transactions with Aero Dili’s when it comes to dealing with the Americans, and the future of those named staffs threatening Josh. The pilot could lose his FAA or Boeing or Certification that would deemed him unlicense to fly any aircrafts made by those two air manufacturers.

@@cynicaloldguy It is only to file a report to get to their record, and of course- legal actions or any such maybe would be out scenario for now since that Airline is out of their jurisdiction. To preempt is the intention/objective why you have to run for NTSB, once any of their names involved in these belligerent actions would come up to do any aviations functions that involved with the United States, then their names would pop up in their system signaling any actions or scrutiny. As someone that lives in the United States, from many experiences, any government reports received I.E. complaints, are properly recorded.

@@cynicaloldguy I agree. But I will still strongly suggest to send a report over this gross belligerence from staff coming from Aero Dili to US NTSB. For the purpose to be on their records. Play that loophole, since nothing from their policy or stated, “only US incidents involving American Citizens complaints are accepted”. That’s why I suggest NTSB- as it stands for National Transportation and Safety Board. Josh Cahill was a paying passenger, threatened his safety by the airlines staffs posted his personal records online. Regardless it did not happened in the United States or outside their jurisdiction, but a received complaint will be on their records. It can be reference in the future.

@@cynicaloldguy It has nothing to do with this drama understood. but as former government contractor by choice to bypass bureaucracy that also receives the same pay as GS-12 and will never have to do with the federal leadership and BS. Not revealing agency because of OpSec, and I will never pull that background to create leverage. Anyways, All complaints will be received and must be recorded. Not that hard to do, click and submit. That’s the objective, it will be a bonus if we are lucky if all of the sudden they’l take an action. Just put them on the record. It will be different if you file a complaint in a private entity (not federal) when all of those are not protected.

Sam’s accounts would be very interesting on how much revenue he makes from influencing activities via sponsorships and the alike.

Lol. The samchui comment made my day

Lol. The samchui comment made my day

I don’t know Sam so not sure if your allegations are true. But fact is they all make a lot of money with the videos and have sponsors. And that is not bad.

unless you have proof this man is taking payola this allegation is defamitory

100%

This! EU nationals are highly protected from data breaches particularly because of this.

Not really in this case. The GPDR ends at the border of the EU unless it involves a flight into/outoff the EU. In this case, Air Dili does not fly even close to the EU so is not bound to the GPDR. I am not familiar with laws of Timor Leste, Indonesia or other countries related to said flight, but I guess there are laws covering it. The passport is property of the home country, but if that route is taken, it is for the embassy in question to do something. The only other viable way is to file a local lawsuit against the airline.

@@TypicalDutchSaysHi The GDPR applies to all companies handling EU citizen information

@@altsubaltsu, enforcing it would be a different story, though, as no EU institution has jurisdiction over East Timor or over a company from there that doesn't do business in the EU. However, it's very likely that Aero Dili has one or more accounts in European banks, if for no other reason to process payments by EU citizens and residents and to pay suppliers like Airbus and its subcontractors. I don't know if GDPR legislation allows any action on such bank accounts, but if it does (say, to seize the payment of a fine), then Aero Dili could be in trouble.

Not true , GDPR means bullshit outside EU. We overestimate the power and reach of EU. Every country trashes EU laws outside EU and there's nothing we can do

me too. I live in Singapore and I would never condone this.
