By Shelley Shan / Staff reporterFar Eastern Air Transport (FAT) employees yesterday petitioned the Ministry of Transportation and Communications to give the airline a second opportunity and assist it in resuming flight services. Led by FAT deputy manager Lu Chi-rong (盧紀融), about a dozen employees turned in a written petition with 580 staff signatures to the ministry and the Executive Yuan. Employees would get their salaries so long as the government assists the airline in resuming flight services,” Lu said. This procedure is the only way that the airline could restart flight services, regardless of whether the ministry decides to revoke its air operator certificate, he said. On Wednesday, he said that the company could only secure new funding if the ministry allows the airline to resume flight services.
