    Give it a year once the world reaches herd immunity and the A380s will be active again doing Umrah/Hajj runs like before. Umrah is actually a very big business and I remember pre-covid days MAB was  approached by a number of agencies from PRC to operate direct to Saudi Arabia carrying mainland Chinese Muslim Pilgrims for Umrah. It was suppose to kick off this year, however Covid happened. All they need to do is to hang on another 12 months and things will start changing gear back to normal. Lets not be too negative about MH, this time its not their fault. The whole world aviation industry is suffering.

    In trying times like this, its a good time to let go of the more elderly staff. I.e approaching retirement, above 60 and contract staff. Give way to the younger ones to live through their commitments. Golden age staff are usually at the peak of their pay brackets. 

    Was told Malindo and AirAsia group are resorting to this. Something MH Group can consider.

    Yeah top management must be getting RM120K annually at least, so it will be a big blow to their lifestyles and maybe not low enough for them to feel the pinch 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Don't be surprised if some of them are getting 120k a mth.

    We’re talking about granting a short extension to documented visitors who are having issues getting home. Nobody is suggesting granting them permanent residence/asylum/citizenship. 

    How this compares to the issue of illegal immigration is beyond me.

    Thats not how the state govt sees it. Otherwise we wont be talking about this issue. Anyway, the issue is not about them having difficulties getting home. As what the CM said in the news they have been given options to go back via KUL but not doing so in fear of their health once back in China.

    This Visa extension is a sensitive issue especially for Sabah when you have other immigration issues at hand (illegal filipinos etc etc). Any special attention given to PRC tourist/citizen will certainly be silver bullets for the opposition party, so this goes beyond the surface and should not be looked at from a medical refugee point of view. 

    For the fact that Sabah CM openly say they don't have enough resources to handle the outbreak (as scary as it seems) is a lot better than saying we are well prepared and equipped with number of patients rising like wildfire. Take a look at Singapore for instance, now everyone down south is in panic mode. I remember reading a statement from one of Singapore's minister last week saying Singapore is out of danger.

    The naming convention is irrelevant if the OP can't differentiate between the Aerotrain and the KLIA Ekspres.

    Exactly. This is what happens when people become too intelligent. Can find their way to post a silly rant in a Malaysian based aviation forum but just can't read simple signs all over the airport terminal building.

    I was under the impression that ATC staff get ID benefits similar to airline staff, no?

    ID benefits are only extended to airline employees. ATC staff as we know are govt servants. There are some countries which outsource their ATC service to private companies to be runned as independent entities. But not here in Malaysia as it comes under Ministry of Transport via CAAM.

    Bravo to the AirAsia crew, risking exposure to the virus and sacrificing oneself to 14 days of quarantine... for the sake of bringing home our fellow Malaysians!

    Couldn't help wondering what happened to MH? Shouldn't these 'national service' flights be operated by our national airline? Especially so when billions of taxpayers money have been sucked into this company.

    Ask the govt, they own MH. Its not MH who makes the decision.

    Your statement seems more confusing, KLIA2 to KLIA assuming you mean the low cost terminal to full service carrier terminal is not via aerotrain. That train network is part of the ERL network which extends to KL Sentral. 

    I guess you are talking about the Main Terminal Building to the Satellite Terminal. Dont see anything confusing about a 1 minute train ride.

    Wow i've never heard of a330 being less fuel efficient let alone one that is on PW. What sort of weed you've been smoking? It is bassically one of the most fuel efficient widebody. The a330neo is only efficient if you put up more seats like an lcc as the rolls royce engines are more power hungry.

    Try changing a y ticket on JAL it cost as a brand new ticket unless its flex full fare. 

    You guys are asking the impossible in a very unstable market at the moment. Its simple Malaysians are too poor cheapskate to fly fsc, foreign premium pax have abandoned malaysia. Transiting passengers are on subsidised gulf carriers that offer greater value product and services.  Not helping is the current government promoting many inconsistent policies that have deterred investors to neighboring countries instead. More so our pm has been busy angering neighboring countries and trade partners on policies which he believes is right regardless of diplomacy.

    Car prices are increasing 25% oh  wait its not confirmed til year end. How is government going to instill investor confidence with this kind of flip flopping. And with lack of foreign businesses for fdis how do you expect flag carriers to stay afloat unless it goes full low carrier which many of us are not keen on it.

    One of the best replies I've ever read in a long time. 👏

    Spot on and exactly what's going on in todays economical and political climate in this country.

    Makes me wonder how credible Focus Malaysia source is. I mean like JAL has denied having any thoughts of bidding for MAB back in November and we know Khazanah themselves have shot down the idea of the last few takeover bids due to unattractive offers.

    I'm not surprised though about D7-MH as TF have long been looking for a way to save D7. 2012 dejavu?

    Have to accept the fact AirAsia is the market leader when it comes promotions, attracting customers and creating hype. Making full use of social media to get attention. Creative marketing at its best. The impact AirAsia has on passengers have gone down to a point where they don't even compare fares to other airlines when it comes to buying a ticket. Even though other airlines maybe cheaper and probably full service. Its brand power to say the least.
