I had always wandered what's the history behind airlines registration code? Who decided Malaysia's code is 9M?etc etc

Al-Fatihah.

I do wander if a scheme like this might just do the trick in getting them to realise why going to school and getting good results might get them somewhere? But the reality is not everyone is into aviation!! Bring the Airasia stewardesses to the Felda estates, then they all might want to join Airasia!!

More pics pls. Kool!!!

It's my pleasure to share my memoirs. It's the closest air crash related disaster story I've experienced. It'll be good if they can do an Air Crash Investigation.

My late father was supposed to be on that flite. He had missed the flite because he had stopped to pray at a nearby mosque. By the time he arrived at the airport, the flite was near closing but because there were VIPs and their gang on board, he was bumped out on the next flite. I still remember how we waited in agony at home. I guess communication was not easy those days. And my brother was born on 31 Dec 1977 thereafter. This incident left an everlasting mark on my mum and i (since I was the only child at that point).

Happy 2nd Anniversary Mwings!!!! Must have been an eventful day for all!! Congrats.

Great pics ewan. Mantap bangat!!

Congrats En Idris!

I suspect there's a whole bunch of explanations that the DCA/Govt not telling the public on this matter, either because there are still investigating the matter or formulating a win-win solution. We are reading the Times of India, so I'm sure there's a bias to the story.

Just sweet Pieter

I am based in Jakarta at the moment, if anyone happens to drop by there, give me a call on my local mobile at 0812 1080823. If I'm free, will be happy to get together for coffee.

On my flite back to CGK on Emirates, we were delayed 45 mins. Pushed back from the gate no rain, as were taxing it begun to pour down. So we stopped and waiting till weather improved. That was interesting!

I can't understand why they even bother to put the small sticker on the plane since its not legible from far!!!! Maybe someone has a good explanation to this.

Wonderful Capt, keep them coming.Tq

Ya might aswell cancel the orders if the financial losses associated with the order can be mitigated when cancelling the contract. PMB might even have the same clause as ILFC where the company can cancel the contract without penalties after a 6 month delay. If i was in PMB I would have that clause in my contract. I just don't think MAS is in dire need of an A380 just yet. Boeing offerings will probably be just the right ingredient for MAS. I suspect that policy of buying less"Made in USA" products probably resulted in this unwarranted A380 purchase because there could have been alot of strings attached to the US purchase that the govt didn't want for it could have jeopardized our national security. Ya at the end of the day, who knows ehh? My 2 cents worth.

I had always felt MAS would be better off with Boeing planes rather than going for the A380 for now.

Fantastic, congrats guys.

Sneeze, I remember doing an assignment back in Uni in 1995 on LCC, in the US at that time there was only Southwest and I had a tough time narrowing down my paper because the scope of LCC's operation and strategy offer many interesting issues which u could study. Even in pure economics study, there were many issues that could be studied for LCC. My advice is as follows:- 1. to have a hypothesis, 2. collect your data 3. see whether the data collected can support your argument to challenge the hypothesis. Best of luck.

Wow looking forward to them!!! Excellent. Cheers

If I have anymore kids of age 1 at that time, I think I'll lose tons of kgs chasing my kids around the plane!!! It was tiring enough on the A330!!! Just don't know where they get the energy from??!!!

1 yr FOC Nasi briyani, count me in!!! But who's sponsoring?

As for me, it was just a statement by an ex-PM. I don't think it carries much weight anymore. Should the govt and MAS reinsate the LHR-LGK route due to a simple statement made by an ex-PM, then I start to wonder!!!

U'll find quite a few words that we use in BM also but applications different in BIndonesia- for eg gampang = easy and pertualangan = hiking adventure.

Gang, An article in The Star online featured a candid story about Mr Wong Teo Khoon, a MAS employee for 40 years. That guy must really have experienced just about everything that happened at MAS. I was wandering that he'll be a real kool guy to interview and post his story on MW for all to read. I'm sure he's got lots to tell. I'm really interested in getting to know MAS' early years. And perhaps he might some 'golden' photos. What do u guys think?
