    Very interesting thread to follow. My thinking into this is very simple ( I'm no master strategist) in that perhaps the current strat is a just a time filler actions i.e. vry short term. They probably needed to do this because the company was bleeding badly. So the immediate action was to stop the bleeding. Ensure the company's cash position is strong by doing whatever cost cutting measures possible. Perhaps they are willing to dilute some product quality. I'm sure they are aware of this.

     

    While they are doing this, they firm up on a long term strat, based on the assumption that cash position is healthy, in which they will redesign their product and service offerings. Of course time is of the essence and I do hope that they won't lose many customers while doing this because its a costly affair trying to win new customers.

     

    Its difficult trying to strike a balance in the real world- I've had personal experience in trying to revive an ailing company- u win some, u lose some. It's really hard to start when your base is in a poor condition.

    Pictures? Where?... :unknw:

     

    Glad there is no big incident during this year's Hajj. Kudos to the Saudi Govt for improving facilities and upgrading infrastructures (esp the Jamrats). When are your folks coming back?

     

     

    Btw, anyone have the latest on Meor's assignment on the Hajj Charter? Have the pics been uploaded or did I miss them? Cheers.

    I was under the impression that the Govt allowed FF to operate from SZB and in return gave rights to Air Asia to fly to Singapore!!! Perhaps this is not the case if TF is talking in this manner. Air Asia is really stretching their luck!!! On face value, AirAsia has achieved something amazing but to go on like this one starts to wonder if all the news we get are just canvassing??

    Those in the trading and financial circles are talking about an economic slowdown in Dubai, but the question is when? However, it is clear that strategically Dubai (UAE) needs to make money from other industries such as the service sector as oil money begins to dwindle, hence we see Emirates taking a large position on purchasing aircrafts at a mind boggling rate and going head to head with SQ.

     

    I personally think the bubble will burst but I hope China and India will be able to absorb the burst because otherwise it might cause a global slowdown. The US economy is fragile at this point with the sub prime mortgage sector causing havoc to the financial sectors. And I don't think we can rely on the US anymore to absorb. I just hope there weren't too much Arab money involved in the sub prime market meltdown that it might cause a knock on effect on the Gulf states.

     

    But who really knows???

    All the best Brader Maarof, Semoga dapat Haji yang Mabrur, insyaALLAH. went for Hajj in 2005 - it was an incredible and extremely sacred journey for me from beginning to end. Accompanied my mum and wow was it challenging!! It's true what many say that expect the unexpected during Hajj.

     

    I can stress enough that your thoughts must be pure all the time during Hajj. I experienced twice when I had some doubts and true enuf things didnt go my way.

     

    I want to go again for Hajj or at least Umrah very soon. If only I was back in KL, I would volunteer for Capt Nik to help out with anything during this hajj season!!!!

    This is a timeless thread. Thanks Capt Nik. Hope to read more classics and enjoy those lovely pics. My parents would have been frequent travellers in those F27s in the early 70s travelling between Sandakan and KK. I probably flew in them also then, i should imagine in 73/74. But most pics my late father took of me was inside the plane. Alas, we have Capt Nik for pics outside. Thanks Capt Nik.
