  1. Just seen photos of the new BA A380 in full livery. Stunning looking aircraft. MH - please repaint your A380's.
  2. Just wish they had put the A330/B738 livery on the A380. So much nicer.
  3. Hideous. The tail is dull and swooshes on the fuselage are terrible. Seriously MH have a rethink.
  4. I think MH are just too late with the A380 on Oz routes. SQ, EK & QF have had too much of a headstart. If they can get their pricing right then I would have thought LHR & AMS would be their best bet for making money serving Europe.
  5. Any chance of AMS coming back into the MH A380 route plan?
  6. Hope RMAF order Eurofighter..
  7. Old is much nicer. A classic. New just dull.
  8. Anyone know if MH did any market research/customer feedback with this new livery? Not many positive comments flying around. It offers no "wau" (pardon the pun) factor. Coming late to the A380 operators club I expected something much nicer. The updated red/blue livery on the newish B738 and A330 is much nicer than this.
  9. It looks like MH could only afford 2 colours at the paint shop. Seriously drab. Sorry to be so negative. And all this from an airline that gave the world the special livery B744 & B777. They were beautiful.
  10. That is one awfully boring looking A380. Whoever came up with that livery should be sacked straight away. Yet another own goal by MH. Keep the red & blue wau alive!
  11. Be sad to see MA go down. Only flown with them once on a BUD-AMS flight about 10 years ago.. I thought they were very good. Remember the flight as they gave Y passengers ice cream which was unusual on short intra-European trips at the time.
  12. See the Dutch media have stated the KLM-MH co-operation AMS-KUL v.v. will continue although no mention was made of the KLM feed onto MH services to Aus/NZ. Anyone know how long this deal has to run? Was it not renewed last year? Wish KLM was Dutch controlled once again.
  13. As a KL/MH fan I'm rather unhappy about this news. Where does this leave the KL/MH AMS-KUL v.v. codeshare and KL feed onto MH services to Aus/NZ? AF/KE seem to have got what they wanted keeping MH out of Skyteam. The AF/QF tie up clearly didn't help matters and I'm pretty sure KE would not have liked MH in Skyteam either. Really wish KL hadn't jumped into bed with AF.
  14. Thoroughly depressing news to those of us who want to see MH in Skyteam.
  15. Nearer home base than LHR however would have thought both SYD (QF A380 base) and LHR (SQ/EK A380 destination) would have Airbus Engineering cover should anything go wrong with the aircraft.
  16. MH in Skyteam should have happened years ago. Hope it one day becomes reality.
  17. Wish MH would opt for a 3 class Airbus A380. Business, Premium Economy & Economy. Believe First to be a waste of aircraft space these days. MH should aim to offer excellence in all three cabins. They have a long way to catch up on the competition but have had plenty of time to think about it.
  18. Amazed they lasted so long. They won't be the last airline to go under in this worldwide recession, of that I have no doubt. It's been well known in the UK aviation scene that they have been in "financial trouble" for some time. Senior management were saying 36 hours before they went into adminstration that they "hoped" to have financial backing in place and the company was looking forward to the future! Long haul expansion really put them on the slippery slope. Transatlantic delays, cancellations, reroutes and poor customer service are no way to run an airline. Feel sorry for the staff but the airline's name has been mud for the last couple of years (see www.airlinequality.com for further details). As for the passengers, well if you book with unstable airlines at cheap prices you take a risk in my book. Seems a lot of their customers still chose to pay up front via debit cards, not credit cards which offer money back protection in event of airline collapse. They will probably not see their money again. Some people just never learn. This is the last thing Glasgow Airport needed at the moment. As stated on this forum before Glasgow Airport is crying out for direct air routes to major cities/hubs in mainland Europe. It lags behind Edinburgh in European connections these days. The current offerings are too few. Globespan biting the dust just compounds this problem. Will BAA GLA management now be forced into co-operating with Ryanair? Hope the Globespan crews find alternative employment but this will be difficult. BA may need crew next year if they themselves survive.
  19. Happy 90th Birthday KLM! Here's to many more in future.
  20. Pieter, I know the Dutch are famous for their tolerance however this guy should have been arrested ages ago. UK media are saying AF/KL knew of his dodgy past. If so, it doesn't show AF/KL in a very good light. Regards, Ken
  21. Pieter, Thanks for the info. Yes, I'm booked on KL1474. Any additional AMS-GLA metal due for next Wednesday's football match with De Oranje? Kind regards, Ken
  22. Are KLc Leaving GLA For Good At Start Of The Winter Timetable 09/10? Pieter, See AMS-GLA v.v. services go all KL from the end of October 09. Is this the end of KLc at GLA? Am booked on a KLc flight to AMS in a fortnight which hopefully will be my first flight on a KLc Embraer 190. KLc are one of my favourite airlines having had many flights on Fokker 70 & Fokker 100's over the years (also flown on the Fokker 50!). The old birds and crews have always been a pleasure to fly with. It would be a real shame to see KLc go for good from GLA. Kind regards, Ken
  23. I, along with many other Scots, won't be shedding any tears if London Airways go under. Walsh has a cheek asking staff to work for nothing.
  24. No chance of me getting an invite to meet IJ however my question to IJ would be why are KLM C passengers travelling on MH C class codeshare denied access to the MH Golden Class Lounge at KUL? Not much Malaysian Hospitality in evidence there. I can probably guess his response though (cut costs, 5 star value etc.).
