    If not because political sensitivity, MI could have bought regional jets to render KUL and CGK irreverent as international hub.

     

    Since when does Singapore care about regional sensitivities?

     

    That was the story the previous gomen like people to believe. The fact is national pride was the reason. That's why before AFC, almost everything MH was comparing with SQ.

     

    If MH really wants to ape SQ for national pride, they would have flown where SQ flew very early on. They would have bought 747s in the 1970s, not the 1980s because SQ was already flying 747s before MH.

     

    Look at MH's history. You'll see that the story about developing domestic routes does hold water.

    How much cut fruit, 250ml bottle and dish cleaning of tray cost? RM 4?

     

    Even if it cost that much, you think they can recoup it with the yields they have on that flight?

     

    Why do you think AirAsia sells Pak Nasser Nasi Lemak for RM 15, when you can easily buy a Nasi Lemak on ground for less than RM 5?

    When Airbus released the sidestick with dual input design nobody in the public yapps about it and is still a problem up to this date.. When atr designed a too simple anti ice system nobody yapps about it too until it was too late. The a330 was designed in a way of of uncomfortable steep nose up approaches, a lot crews were complaining but nobody in the industry yapp about it as well.

    Because it wasn't an inherent danger. It didn't make the aircraft inherently unairworthy.

    Clearly you haven’t been following the news. It’s known fact that the MAX has design error. Don’t get me started on the MCAS. The FAA was so dysfunctional that they allow Boeing to do whatever they want, literally no choice. Ever since the second crash, the government stepped in and sacked the FAA director and replaced it with a retired Delta pilot. Was the FAA or the government being dysfunctional?

     

    There's no denying that Boeing made a mistake in not providing redundant backups, but that doesn't make the aircraft inherently unsafe. The so-called design error didn't make the aircraft inherently unworthy. Same with the MCAS. Remember, no one single factor causes a crash, it's a chain of factors that contribute to a crash, and if any one of those chains were eliminated, the crash may have been avoided.

     

    Also, you do realize that the FAA head slot was empty since January 2018 because the term of the previous head appointed under the Obama administration had ended? So the appointment was not because the FAA head was sacked due to the MAX crash, it's because they only got around to nominate the FAA head after all the hoopla started!

    If it’s indeed safe it would have been operational by now. If you’ve not already known, Boeing’s ceo said they’re humbled by the crash and will continue to learn from their mistakes.

    Just because it's not operational, doesn't mean it's not safe. That's a fallacy. You do realize that there are bureaucratic hassles that they need to deal with? Considering how dysfunctional the US government is at the moment, I'm not surprised that it's taking them so long.

     

    As for Muilenburg's statement, of course he's going to say that. But that doesn't mean they designed an aircraft that was inherently unsafe to the point that mass hysteria is warranted.

    Read the article and you will understand what it proves.

     

    I've read the article and it proves nothing, just that Germans don't allow MAX ferry flights. What does that prove?

     

    The article itself said that the plane made it to Stockholm, so I guess other European countries feel that the MAX is safe enough to at least fly around their airspace.

    As I see it you've not read in-depth about the issues plaguing the max 8 and the rush to put in in service to compete with the A320neo,thus cutting many corners.Instead blame the airlines which is very wrong on your part.Yes Lion air has tainted safety record but in this case its a different story all together.Just look at it as a individual catastrophe and read up and you will understand better with with what was/is wrong with the max 8 stall characteristics needing the introduction of flawed software,MCAS t be precise.

     

    Here is a list of flaws by boeing and the max 8:

     

    1. Not training or informing pilots/FAA about MCAS,reason being no need to retain so save money,only 1 hour lesson on IPAD for transition from 800 to max.The Lion air pilots never knew this software existed on their aircraft as they weren't informed.

     

    2.Only using ONE reading from the angle of attack sensor to activate MCAS despite having 2 AOA sensors.(Only from the side of the flying pilot)

     

    3.Warning light in cockpit which alerts pilots if the readings from the 2 AOA sensors differ widely (hence if one is faulty as in the case of Lion air) was not installed as standard equipment,but as optional hence airlines would have to pay for it extra for such an important tool of safety.

     

    4. FAA was informed that MCAS only moves the horizontal tail by 0.6 degrees but boeing realised during flight test it wasn't enough to avert a high speed stall and thus changed that to 2.5 degrees without informing anyone including FAA.

     

    Here is an amazing documentary on other issues that led to the creation of max 8:

     

     

    I would appreciate if you can watch it and get a better understanding of the situation at hand as the world sees it and after that I would like to hear if you still think that what you wrote above is the reality,Suhaimi.So please watch first and then let us know.thanks

     

    I've read all that is there to be read, and I've watched all that's there to be read. And my opinion remains the same.

     

    The aircraft is not unairworthy, not then and definitely not now.

    How many crash need to occur before you declare unairworthiness?

     

    Only when it's clear that the crashes are caused by unairworthiness. Right now, there's only circumstantial proof that the crashes are caused by unairworthiness.

     

    Ethiopia is quick to blame the airplane, but as facts emerge, it's not as black & white as you'd think it is. Same goes for Indonesia - how is it that the day before the accident, that same aircraft was able to land safely after having the exact same problem? And why didn't Lion Air properly fix the problem knowing that there was an issue?

     

    It's easy to blame the plane & dismiss concerns over pilot & airline competency as veiled racism, but in actual fact those factors must be taken into account as well since a plane is only as safe as the operator.

    if it says nothing or means nothing (as u say its not widespread issue) then explain why all the max grounded for so many months now and possibly fly only in December as off now.

     

    Because it's mass hysteria brought on by uninformed media sources.

     

    I've said it once, I'll say it again - if there's anything inherently wrong with the MAX, we'd be seeing far more crashes already. But here's the thing, look at who crashed the MAX - Lion Air, which has a history of crashes & accidents, and Ethiopian, who crashed a 737-800 under similar circumstances back in 2010.

     

    Plus the American government is currently dysfunctional. If this had happened during any other president's watch, the MAX would definitely be flying by now.

     

    I ask you, why aren't we seeing more MAX crashes? Why is it that we're not seeing Southwest, American or Air Canada, the three airline with the most MAX 8 fleet have zero crashes between them?

    Why would MH notify you of equipment change if, as you had described, you had just bought the ticket and the equipment was already a 332?

     

    Anyway, MH never advises equipment change but only seat change if this has been preselected.

     

    I think he meant from websites like Airlineroute that usually provide updates whenever an airline includes an aircraft upgage/downgauge in the GDS schedule.

     

    Maybe this is just a one-off equipment swap.

    He attended Harvard for seven-week short course program though never earn official college/grad school degree (apart from his stint in the airline for almost 40 years). I felt divided...

    Having a degree is not a measure of intelligence. I know Ph.D holders who are dumb, and I know SPM holders who are smart.
