    I tot the 332 is for the extra flights into KUL? Don't we have a thread abt this a while ago?

     

    During the summer months, yes. They were deployed on extra flights.

     

    However now that the heavy demand experienced during summer months has subsided, the usage of A332's into KUL are due to equipment scheduling changes.

    I'll be flying from KUL to Istanbul via Dubai by MH. Are passengers required to disembark during the short stop over?

     

    Most of the time, you won't be REQUIRED to disembark and can do so at your own will, provided you comply with the conditions applied to you leaving the aircraft on transit. However, unless you're flying into T3...i suggest you just sleep in the aircraft :)

    Middle Eastern Airlines....dont dream about it. They only take their own NATIONALS as cadets.

     

    However, you can give Etihad a try...they have a Cadet Pilot Programme for individuals from around the world. HOWEVER, your cables better be ready to be tugged at ;)

    Malaysia is only allocated with around 25,000 hajj pilgrims quota a year. Should all 25,000 of them fly to JED/MED from KUL, KUL is still a white elephant anyway (an increase of 50,000 [25,000 x 2] passengers movement is not significant).

     

    Exactly what was playing through my mind last night.

     

    Why not just improve the transit facilities for Hajj passengers instead of trying to operate mammoth sized aircraft into small airports?

     

     

    If people are worried about the crowds, then they're DEFINITELY on the wrong trip of their lifetime aren't they? :rolleyes:

    But why the jewellery shop owner didn't hire any extra security if they realize they bring high risk item..

     

    Being in the jewellery business and having travelled with such high-risk items, i think i can answer your question.

     

    First of all, being escorted by 4-5 bodyguards will basically draw unnecessary attention to ones self if one is carrying high risk items, and as such, what is stopping the robbers from shooting the bodyguards, and STILL making off with your goods? Ok, you might argue that the bodyguards will fight back, but imagine the hassle one has to go through to acquire bodyguards who are armed (paperwork, salary, red-tape etc) and if the 'robbery' is botched, one still has to live with a dead bodyguard or two and go through all sorts of OTHER hassles.

     

    I know many people who travel around the world with gold bullion, diamonds, currency etc, and who have never been robbed or tailed in their lives. At first glance, they might be mistaken for a 'bangla worker' or a 'Maulana Umar'. The key to a successful 'transfer' is that one must be EXTREMELY low profile. No 'spotting' or 'anjung tinjau model photography'. ( :p )

     

     

    Based on the attached picture in The Star, the person who was robbed wasn't dressed extravagantly at all (Collared shirt and slacks), and this lends credence to Gavin's point of it being an inside job.
