Another MH 330 return back to KUL earlier this morning. Still wondering how MH head of engineering is still holding on to his job. He should be sacked immediately.

This goalpost keeps moving further and further each quarterly earnings brief.

MASwings is also at the end of its exit process from MAG. Apparently sold to Sarawak state govt at an undisclosed amount. Sources say cutover to their new owner is due by end of this year. Hence not much focus on that entity for now.

MH head of engineering should be sacked.

Top management still delusional about whats happening at the bottom line. This is what happen when they are overworked and underpaid with low morale.

Been hearing about new a/c RFP for a while. Each media release they will mention postponed till forever. While every other airlines are jumping straight to order announcement.

100 marks for this. Exactly the story at the top end of MH.

Contrary to beliefs, Regional jets are costlier to operate without the economies of scale. Its only possible if ticket prices are high enough. This model don't work in Malaysia/SEA as a whole as its a price sensitive market. Hence ATR72 is the best type of aircraft to serve markets that are not viable for jets. How the E190 fits Scoot model is partly due to SIN being this regions super connector hub as well as riding on SQ's network for connections.

Whats funny is that this higher up folks are making 2-3x more than market for their similar role. While those engineers and pilots who are considered as highly niched and specialized roles are making below market rate.

FY ATR72s are basically just passing time before they go into full retirement by 2027. After which FY will only operate jets, so until more jets go into their system, don't expect to see any improvements from this OTP issue. Perhaps in the coming months we will see consolidation of frequencies once their 737s start operating to PEN and other routes currently served by their ATRs.

At the expense of quality is still acceptable as it will only impact their future business, however for safety its unacceptable.

Interesting to see if fares to/fro SZB fetch any premium above KUL.

Even on a dollar for dollar basis, MH Cabin crew is far behind. Not including SQ's generous bonuses.

Sad to see engineers, pilots and flight attendants being paid pennies in a flag carrier. I was told Captains basic pay in MH is same as junior copilot basic in ME3. Engineers are paid 3x-4x more down south in that Island nation.

Exactly whats happening to MH right now. Operations hampered solely by reliability issues.
