    Btw this is what other rumor that I hear from insider of the airline industry.

     

    The fact that FAX can easily pass on the RAS service to Fireflyz is because the hidden agreements that both FAX and government have agree when FAX take over last year.

    Some of the agreement might be something like:

    1. The lost will be cover by government in a form of monetary or facility discount or other that both agree.

    2. FAX have the abilities to cancel any flight that can't make the profit enough to fly like 2 person flight in those early morning flight. Thus we see a lot of cancel at last minute.

    3. FAX can evaluate and make and decision on either to continue or to let other operator to service the RAS base on certain period.

    4. Other that we can't think of.....

     

    So this as what I so call try and error is a period that FAX and government is like employer give 6 month of try period to see if the employee can work or not which depend on the end result. If situation come worse either one side can hand over.

    But this kind of move as you guys say can involve a lot of people like airline employee, state government or tourist and so on which I can say they have poor decision making.

    Cabinet Nod For Firefly To Take Over FAX's Rural Services In Sabah & Sarawak

     

     

    PETALING JAYA, April 25 (Bernama) -- The Cabinet today gave the nod for Malaysia Airlines's newly-established no-frills carrier, Firefly, to take over rural air services in Sabah and Sarawak now operated by Fly Asian Xpress (FAX).

     

    Miri-based FAX, owned by some directors of AirAsia, operates 22 routes and 104 flights daily in Sabah and Sarawak.

     

    Announcing this here, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy said the Cabinet today agreed to FAX's proposal submitted on April 17 to surrender its rural air services in Sabah and Sarawak to Firefly.

     

    He said the government would subsidise the local rates by between RM50 million and RM70 million a year.

     

    He also said the Ministry of Finance and the Transport Ministry will discuss details of the subsidy.

     

    Chan said the government has given the assurance that the move would not affect MAS's turnaround plan.

     

    "Any losses would be borne by the government," he said.

     

    FAX's offer for Firefly to take over its rural air operations was reportedly due to it wanting to focus on its planned long-haul low-cost AirAsia X operations.

     

    MAS managing director Idris Jala was recently quoted as saying that MAS would consider taking back the rural air service if it does not jeopardise the national carrier's turnaround plan.

     

     

     

    -- BERNAMA

     

    This is a bad move. What happen in the government that such move have been approved????

    If it happen in other part of the world FAX will bring to court because they can't perform what they have promiss in the process of take over RAS that they have ensure to the government.

     

    In another thought if RAS is a profit route I would not give out at all cost.

    There are 2 point of view that we need to look at.

     

    Point of view 1 MAS: For MAS they are are flag carrier so when permission given it has to be MAS then to Air Asia. Because of this MAS has to fullfill government request. Some time MAS has to do even they not willing to do. All this because China gov and My gov air agreement.

     

    Point of view 2 Sarawak Government: For gov of Sarawak they need to develop new route to attract people to come to Miri or any point of Sarawak. They sure don't want people to travel via BKI to Eastern Asia or VV. Why because extra cost. If people need to travel via BKI or KCH or KUL, people will not come to those place and have a visit. A transit will need pax to pay more such as admin fee, fuel surchage, and difference air fare plus time to wait for transit.

    LCC = pay less = no flexi = no complain because cost do not permit a person to complain and to follow terms and condition.

     

    Full fare = pay more = flexi = can complain until what you want it to be but also have limit to terms and condition.

     

    my equation pay more to complain more, pay less don't complain lot. A bit is welcome to improve service.

    emmm even there is some empty seats, airline will not give it out easy.

    Same with the teory of if there is empty room in a hotel will the hotel provide a guess of 3 for anonther room instate of provide them 2 rooms?

    BTW If there is maybe there is luck as always there are miracle happen on upgrade. Just hope for the best.

    I ask about the full stop landing for 747 this is because I saw in the picture that Mohd Idham provided show the end of the runway the place for aircraft turn didn't feel like big enough for a 747 can turn around. So that why I ask those pro are there able to turn 180 degree turn at the end of the runway.
