I thought we're not supposed to take these awards seriously anymore?

Saw on FR24 that MH 716 (9M-MSB) turned back to CGK midway through and was squawking 0000. Any idea what happened?
Just googled transponder code 0000 and it is for unreliable SSR data. Does that warrant for an air turn back?
Note: It's on its way back to KUL now after a 3 hour delay.
Medical emergency from what I heard.

Won't work if they still have to answer to the same people running the show now.

Airlines that practice missed approaches - Good
Airlines that don't - will end up like the one in BLI.

Thanks. Also saw MKA on test last evening, presumably also on preparations to leave the fleet as well?
That is right. 9M MKA was supposed to leave for Tupelo on the 15th of June. However the buyer recently indicated they are not ready to receive the aircraft yet so it is now delayed with the new date yet to be determined.
-
9M-MKV A332 - does anyone know if this aircraft has left the fleet? Saw it on test flight last Sunday (2 June) and it left SZB today.
Not yet. Another flight test was carried out today. Expect the aircraft to leave probably by the third week of June.

Agreed. What will happen to pilots seniority and pay scale if 772 is replaced with A33E or 787?
No change in seniority number and in MH the payscale is the same for the widebody fleet.

You are mistaken if you think it's more hands on on the 777 than the A330. They don't call it managing a flight rather than fly a plane for nothing. Anyways changing rating from one aircraft to another is not supposed to be a big deal to airline pilots. Sure there are cost in training but there can be savings in other areas too.
It doesn' t really matter which plane they chose as along as they do it properly. Just something I heard recently- during the days when MH was deciding which aircraft to replace the 737-400. After much deliberation and analysis it was decided that the A320 was the best choice and so a recommendation was made to the board. There was a big meeting among the top people and the result was they were going with the 737-800 as replacement, much to the surprised of the Flight ops people. So there you go.

No need to convince, the pilots are supposed to fly any aircraft that's assigned to them and it is not a downgrade by any means.
-
Yes ! No exceptions.

A little correction, you don't call ground after vacating at C6. Instruction to change over is normally given once the aircraft is on taxiway G or H. So after vacating the runway you will be on tower frequency until after you have crossed the runway from C1 and then only change to Ground frequency. A little less complicated in real life I would think.

MXC will be the next one wearing the oneworld livery.
It is already wearing the Oneworld livery, saw it last night.

Can I ask.. If anyone knows.. who pilots birds to their graveyards? The airline's pilot or manufacturer's pilot? I know in the case of delivery flights its done by the airline's pilot.. but what about these very last flight of the birds themselves?
MH own pilots. 3 of them actually.

The opposition has been ruling Kelantan for years but how come all these incidents seems to suddenly appear just as the GE looms near?
-
There are no more A330 scheduled for MH anymore this year if I'm not mistaken, the next one will be next year.
-
Depending on the Flight time limitations under split duty it might just be legal to do. Hard work I know and not terribly popular amongst the crew but to say it's cruel is a bit harsh.
-
If I'm not mistaken it was brought over from the old terminal, can anybody confirm?
-
damn, why not Boeing..
What's wrong with Airbus?
-
What does that mean?
-
if you dont like looking at your definition of inappropriate clothing, don't look, no one forces you to. Control your own eyes.
That's a little too simplistic, there must be some limits according to the law, rules, local customs and sensitivities etc. What if somebody wears a bikini or a Speedo for a flight? Would you just look away now?

MRK back in action.. What a flip flop decision...
Remove all logo then they paint back all da logo and wording....
Better check you facts, don't think MRK being back in action is because of flip flop decision making.

How are they going to widen the roads?

Who is the handling agent in AKL? Is it possible to complain direct to MAS in KL?

So it's the no2 engine and not 2 engines after all.

The screens on the A330 are already LCD's. There are two extra screens on the front panel and 1 on each side for the EFB's compared to the A330. Maybe closer to the A380 but with two less thrust levers.
