  1. This always happen when an ex-air force pilot become a captain in commercial airline, the CRM was shelved aside when they train a co-pilot or even a routine flight commander. Those captains go for CRM classes just to pass the class, but will seldom practice it. They are a "monster" in a cockpit. Some captains will use vulgar words when they were not greeted promptly by group of co-pilots when the captain walk in for reporting.
  2. With all the comments, what is the best thing for Malaysia government to do about this?
  3. They changed twice I think. First with F50, now with B73. SZB is not part of their destination, AGAIN......marketing!!! Waste of resources and money getting, the eye-balls not within their initial market. Intimidating OD and FY? haha I doubt these people will be intimidated since OD has started MKZ and KBR routes from Rayani home base hub, while Rayani is still shouting "Come lets fly", and distributing car stickers in Melaka and Kota Bharu. Now, instead of Flying January 2015, they have changed to February 2015...that's what stated in Rayani FB.
  4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_privacy_officer as explained in wiki
  5. That's what the news that came to me, buying from SPM and without power plant, they plan to source the power plant separately....just for the AOC. The fuselage cost them RM200k.
  6. As I mentioned earlier, they are ill advised by some pilots who have the mentality of "tak mengapa pak CEO, guna saja kapal buruk asalkan kita dapat AOC, guna F50 pun okay asalkan AOC dapat"...........and Rayani never thought that buying used aircraft must be a purchase out-right, what are they going to do with the F50/B73-4 after that when the are going to do fleet upgrade? Write off from the account book or sell with much lower price? A terrible lost in asset value. WIth the ambitious flight routes.....what happen if the only one B73-4 is AOG, a tremendous disaster to those who are long waiting to fly out from MKZ as you can read in their facebook.
  7. The OD is really going on "red ocean strategy", and this forced FY and MH to do the same. AK has its own usual way to do that. Now, all airline is losing badly with the suicide rampage. No doubt few sectors makes money, but that do not subsidized enough to cover for the other sectors, Good for consumers but a doom airline industry ahead where everybody will need "bail-out" later. That's what I think, and I heard they are buying B73-4 (fuselage only) after MH put the fleet to rest, They do not have any plan for the power plants for the B73-4. Anybody could confirm about this?
  8. Since you are in the group that have interest in aviation and commercial aviation, you should know what I am talking about. a) Look at number of seats for both ATR72 and B73-4 have to offer Choose MKZ and PEN, and check how many Nm between the two distance c) Work on ASM d) Work on RPK or RPM for each seat e) Check on how much fuel required to fly to and fro PEN (for both ATR72 and B73-4 (how many lb/ml or lb/km) f) But, remember the air fare and the fee to pay for communication with DCA for the respective duration is the same, except landing and ramp fees for ATR and B73-4 is different g) and load factor is the same, lets say 30% (this is the best the MKZ could to offer so far, nothing higher than 30%) Then you can see the graph lines between ATR72 and B73-4 getting further and further between the two........and RPK or RPM is higher for B73-4 compared to ATR72. And Rayani will be flying B73-4.....I bet they will have a headache after their inaugural flight to any destination they started.
  9. What I was trying to say here was...if FY cannot fill the seats...there is no hope for Rayani to fill the seats.
  10. I think so I disagree when you talk about better economics with ATR. the time FY flew out of MKZ to MES and PEN, they cannot sustain the cost due to load factor, that really shows in their TPOB report. And if two airlines compete for passengers, market share will be at 50:50 where the the live case study of FY cannot sustain the biz with those routes have proven that it will be a dissaster. During that time only FY served out of MKZ Waqf AIrline, to be a charter service for umrah and hajj, serving Brunie as well if I am not mistaken The CRJ a better bet, but it must be premium service, ERJ has never been used in Malaysia, even tough during Tun M time he was interested to look at ERJ (Embraer 170/175 and Embraer 190/195) for replacement of B73 fleet. ERJ is good for short haul commercial, but of course the Rayani AIr has to work on the Type Rating with DCA. But to get a new aircraft takes time. "Second hand" many, but must have deep pocket for maintenance. unless Rayani air buys fuselage and orders new engines. BEST bet would be Q400 looking at their routes. But yet, still have to work on type rating
  11. Most of the pilots who helped planning for Rayani Air are retired/unemployed Indonesian pilots. I am well and have enough experiences with these type of pilot's mentality......unrealistic!!! And, these pilots are even not rated with new types of aircraft now. All planning must be business driven and NOT based on technical capability. Technical capability must follow business needs, NOT the other way around. Dropping the curtain, revealing the cross border destinations is.......... way....pretty much......immature...... planning without considering and studying the market in terms of TPOB (load factor), RPK, ASK and not to mention how fuel cost/Nm/pax impact revenue and yield for every sector of flights. Also, not to mention the B73-4 type of fleet that guzzle fuel even on the tarmac during taxi before accelerate with enough thrust to take off with the type of MKZ runway. Have they ever think of reciprocal landing rights when they want to cross the border even though "Open Sky Policy" is around the corner? The CEO of Rayani Air is not well verse with the airline industry, and he is now "burning the fuel before take-off" that's the only comment that I should say, and same goes to the SIlverfly owner previously (few years back) when they were ill advised by pilots who saw opportunities reaping money from the owner (no offence if some of you are pilots, BUT I am sure all of you are NOT like that ....again if you are a pilot, my apology because I am a NATIONAL airline pilot as well). But the only difference is the Silverfly owner has now hand picked the right people, with specific experiences and talent (of course not the people from MH/FY/OD/AA) to take off again in the near future with solid airline routes, few stages of planning and research, and type of fleet and metamorphosing the airline (not to mention new aircraft livery). This is what I got to know from my bankers friends. The bankers said that it is really a "re-engineering" of business plan from SIlverfly and most of the funders believe that it will be a big threat to FY and OD, even Air Asia. Let's wait and see whether the new breed of Silverfly team can make it. What I know from bankers friends and other sources, this group of management team is working silently and will only make a debut the day they open the booking, ready with all infrastructure and face the media. What I can see, the Rayani AIr is repeating the mistake the "then" silverfly had done before. And please think about the "Type Rating/First of Type" required by the DCA when you talk about ERJ and CRJ Talking about the state grant, sorry Melaka "gomen" don't have money to grant these type of arrangement anymore. Look what happened to FY with routes to PEN and KNO from MKZ. Highest TPOB was 40% and it did not sustain the cost, and that's why FY stopped. OD will sure bleeds when they start from MKZ, but Pak Rusdy Kirana has "extra fuel to burn" and engage with "Red Ocean Strategy" .........."if you want others to bleed, you must bleed also....NO WORRIOR WILL COME BACK WITHOUT A SCRASH FROM BATTLE FIELD, but the toughest will survive.
