    Home based carrier is normally more expensive than foreign carriers. However, MH is much cheaper than SQ on all other sectors.

     

    MH 333 didn’t have IFE, because these were purchased during Mr. 019’s era, and he didn’t think Asian (non white) appreciate such a system.

    All I know is that most of my friends who are going 2 OZ and NZ to study the opted for SQ because it is a loot cheaper... MH is famous for being expensive. But I like SQ better I think.... so much for patriotism :p

     

    I like the A330/332 of MH... if I don not remember wrongly the A330 does have individual IFE right used it from KCH-KUL-KCH was very fun!!!! But sighs no movies or games onboard for short/domestic flights bugger..... <_<

    I'm not sure if the topic's been discussed before.

     

    I heard they're considering joining skyteam, but what are the factors they take into consideration when choosing which alliance to join? Skyteam seem like an alliance of second division airlines when compared to Star and Oneworld to me. Am I wrong?

    I think they can thrive better if they join star alliance... am I right?

    Well guys, my April roster is out. Normally my aircraft type is listed as 734. But on the 6th I'm scheduled to fly a 73A, and on the 18th a 73Z.

     

     

    Pardon me... But I am not very good with all these aircraft name...

     

    73A and 73Z means that it is 737-800??

    Ideally, MH need 3 aircraft type fleet. One for 150 pax regional (737X or A320), one for 220 to 280 pax thin and long haul (787 or A350) and the third for 300+ pax trunk long haul (A380 or 77W). However, selection made by MH is very often not related to reality, requirement or pax demand but politic.

     

    From the government’s unfriendly policy toward the U.S. We are lucky that Russia and Cuba can’t produce a reasonable pax aircraft; Otherwise, one of the type will be Russian or Cuban.

     

    Believe Boeing is considering to improve 737NG with 787 technology to meet U.S. airlines demand. If MH can withhold the 150 pax regional orders to a few years later, we may see 737NNG in MH lively. Again, we never know, MH may order the last few production run of 737NG.

     

    :drinks:

     

     

    So if MH is using NB to serve Asian routes...could this mean that they won't be using WB to serve domestic routes.... meaning that no more A330/B772 serving Kuching anymore......

     

    if that is true that would be sad and unfair!!

    Ammunition Depot close to runway 13? :blink:

     

    Hmm,if i'm not mistaken,there was a Army Base not far from the Airport area (you can see the base while on approach)

     

    So SBW runway is 13/31...but which ones is right,and which ones is left?

     

    There won't be a Left or right because there is only a single runway... if u check the KCH runway there is also no Right or Left because there is only a single runway. Unlike KL where there are 2 runways thus runway are being designated with R and L...

     

    Correct me if i am wrong guys
