maybe should say... another incident linked to a A330 again???though it is due to turbulence, but some reports have been speculating it is computer malfunction onboard again.. how true is this, u decide...
we're experiencing nationwide crappy weather downunder.
-
They didn't say they are going to reconfigure it into 8 abreast. Believe the wider seat width can be achieved with smaller armrest.*snip*
Noooooo~~~~ If they are going to use smaller armrests, they might as well just remove them!

Does management staff include office staff? 10% pay cut is a lot, if the entire family feeds on the salary. As for the CEO, I think he is still better off after the 20% pay cut, taking into consideration other source of income (share holdings etc).
What's everyone else's thought on paycut - if it does happen?

Received this link, and it shows what kind of weather the A332 had to endure

SCARY !!!
Almost 20 minutes in extreme weather conditions! Wonder why the crew didn't divert...
First guess is they've "seen it, done it".
Second guess, press-on-itis.

That simple conclusion/assumption goes some way to illustrate how fixated we are nowadays with the stereotyped terrorist attack doesn't it ?
The must-end-with-a-bang theory.
The findings simply say there was no mid-air explosion, I reckon the "not terrorist attack" part is just a media thing to polish the article.

Just wondering - is curry powder listed as a Dangerous Goods substance per the IATA DG regulations? Wonder what UN number it carries and if there is any limit per packaging...
I tried googling for it, but all I get is a World Trade Organization packaging instruction doc file, which doesn't really tell me much anyway.

Not the "new accounting standards" trick again... Boring... *yawn*

super high! i propose spotting as a resolution for binge drinking and drug abuse!
fantastic shots! love Azahan's close up rotation shot of Qatari.

Really MAS making losses on their KUL-LHR route?? I am not sure about a few years ago but i am sure that within these 2 years it is probably their most profitable route. I usually travel this route every 2 months and every time i am on the flight first, golden club and economy is packed sometimes with first and golden club overbooked..High load, low yield, maybe??
Just guessing though.
-
Another option for travellers on the SYD-KUL sector.
Though I wouldn't fly with D7 again after my utmost "memorable" trip ex-OOL and back. -
Hahaha good capture using wide angle Jon...BTW... that's MH4 I think....
LOL. My bad. For some reason I had "MH1" in my mind.
-
wow! super nice angle for MH1's rotation!!
-
I still believe MH can "undo" the order for A380s. Just that they need to pay a penalty for the cancellation. Much like if you order a new vehicle and then cancel the order later, you lose X percent (deposit/penalty, whatever they call it).
-
Its the usual , once something happens on the 330 . It will be under a magnifying glass . Remember the Qantas incidents last year ?Yah... Will most likely be dugged out and put under the magnifying glass AGAIN.
-
In Microsoft Office, there is an Undo button. I am sure they can cancel the order if it is an "inappropriate" equipment for the business.

Let's not blame it all on tombstone mentality. We don't live in a perfect world afterall.

JK, MRO's nose very itchy ar? Scratch until paint peeling...

Azizul,
This is my personal view of MH and its A380 plan.
From the very day the Business Turnaround Plan was released, there was an immediate conflict of intention. The plan says they need to downsize - use smaller, more efficient aircraft, and increase flying frequency on popular routes. The A380 belongs to another set of puzzle in my opinion.
As to pride, the big question for IJ and friends is whether they should acquire the A380 and compete with SQ and the likes or just stick to rightsizing the organisation (staff expenses!!!) and its network? It's a tricky one, but I vote for the latter.

Back to topic, I kinda like the toilets in new Changi terminal.

*snip*They tend to trail AirAsia's business strategies (remember the advertisement colour scheme, ELF (Everyday Low Fares) etc?
*snip*
Thanks for the interesting read, KK.
Good to know I'm not the only one having the impression that MAS is going off the tangent!

Nice nice!
Keep rolling in the pics! -

Surely that doesn't include LCCT...?

Partially agree with you. I don't think we can, at this stage, factor out severe weather having to cause the crash of the Air France A330.
As for turbulence, I do feel that some people take the seatbelt advisory (i.e. keep your seat belts fastened whilst you are seated) for granted. I don't think any of the Chinese/Taiwanese carriers would apologise like Qantas did if their passengers experienced clear air turbulence inflight. For those passengers, it'll be more like "it's one of those bumpy flights again". You know, "hopefully better luck next time lah~".
Just my 2 cents.
