I agree with you Alan.

Agreed that some comments are childish at best.

TF's original tweet
RT: @tonyfernandes: "
"No overshoot or crash in kuching". = aircraft didn't burst into a ball of flames
"Captain did good job." - Really? Promotion coming his way then?
"All passengers safe" = no one killed
"Try to get airport reopen by tomorrow morning." - but should have added "as long as MAS helps us"
Geoff
All pax safe does not equal to NO ONE KILLED.
Guys lets be compasionate here.We are talking about peoples life.
Captain did a good job means he brought the a/c to a complete stop without major injuries to pax. Does not mean he is getting promoted.

It does look nice, doesn't it? I've never really been a fan of the colour orange but I think that's because Jetstar makes the orange look cheap. But orange against white and black would look quite classy.
The livery of Jetstar is by far the most outstanding LCC livery around.Care to expain how does the color orange used by jetstar makes orange look cheap?

There have been many proposed hubs in Malaysia but few materialized. Until FY can prove it can compete with AK effectively and profitably, it is too early to talk about multiple hubs.
Agreed 100. The distances between this hubs within pinunsular malaysia is less then 50 minutes and hence does not justify. One additional hub in Kota kinabalu will be all good.

Happy to see firefly moving in teh right directiond with NG aircraft,albeit low specs for weight saving. Away from the 737 400's
MH can adopt SQ/MI type codeshare, like when I booked AKL/SIN/KUL the SIN/KUL sector was on MI although I paid for SQ. But there was also a choice oin that sector for SQ flight but because of the timing of the SQ flight to KUL the MI one was way more convinient.

From what I gather, they are maintained in Singapore and Hong Kong.
The A380 in question recently underwent its first heavy maintenance check by Lufthansa Technik in Germany, and Rolls Royce engines were overhauled at Rolls Royce facilities, Mr Joyce said.
"To suggest that Lufthansa and Rolls Royce do not have the expertise and experience to undertake the highest quality aircraft and checks is ludicrous," Mr Joyce said.

Qantas has found issues with three more Rolls-Royce jet engines on its grounded Airbus A380 fleet, dashing the likelihood of their early return to service.
Two engines -- on aircraft in Sydney and Los Angeles -- have been taken off for closer inspection as a result of the eight-hour tests Rolls-Royce recommended, Fairfax newspapers say.
It now seems increasingly unlikely that the grounding of the fleet will be limited to the 48 hours outlined by chief executive Alan Joyce on Friday, Fairfax says.
Thousands of people will experience delays as the airline shuffles its fleet to cover the grounded A380s, spokesman Simon Rushton said.
The airline has one A380 in Singapore under investigation, one in Germany for servicing, one in Sydney and three in Los Angeles undergoing checks after the midair engine explosion on QF32 on Thursday.
Qantas will not say what the nature of the issues is, or whether the three engines are being examined for the same matters.
"It's things that might apply to different components. I can't be more specific than that," Mr Rushton said.
He said reports that the inspection of the Sydney plane's engines centred on the intermediate-pressure turbine bearings were incorrect.
The engine explosion on QF32 from Singapore to Sydney on Thursday, the overheated engine on QF6 on Friday from Singapore and the cockpit warning of a hydraulic problem on QF29 from Hong Kong to London on the same day has overshadowed what should have been a weekend of celebration for Qantas's 90th anniversary.

Makes sense for MH to pass these ex-XL planes to FY. Their configurations are more suited for LCC operations.
It is also better for FY not to operate the old B734s as they cost too much to run for an LCC operation!
will be great to see MLA and MLB in firefly livery. And also the E 170 ideas seems good.

How about this header ?
Thats genius and precise. Thanks
-
will they have the cup holders on the outside of the traytables fot the rest of the rest of the undelivered aircraft. it has been overlooked.
-
Mod, can we please change the title from Qantas jet crash to qantas jet makes emergency landing due engine failure.
It is impotant to have correct information posted for the sake of credibility of this forum. Thanks

Thumbs up to Mh,very good layout on A380

Questions folks
Which panasonic version ex or efx(superior then ex and used by SQ as I read it but could be wrong)
Seat pitch 3o inches not inviting and have to sit sideways
-
Many people would not like to travel to destinations as far as perth on a 737 and to make matters worst 31 inches seat pitch. I would rather pay a little more then being squzzed up like that. wish they had 33 or 34 inches spaces between seats. Suddenly the IFE seems to have taken second spot to the seat pitch.
-
Hope its not black leather seats or even all white.Think it will most probably be brown all SQ business class
-
I supposed they do compare with industry standard across the world.
MH is one of the very few airlines in the world take pick crew from their homes and drop themback after work.Most others you drive to work. With one air line,lowcost tho, jeXXXXr,you pay for your own medical check up on entry if you are selected, and also pay A$140 for security clearance from the respective ministry of justice, pay first aid fee from St. Johns and also pay for the course pertaining to responsible service of alcohol from your own pocket and many other expenditures! With MH all paid for you.

A la Aeroflot would be nice.
yup you hit the nail on the head Johan.thats why aeroflot livery really stands out from the crowd.

The illustration of the livery on the dreamliner looks stunning but that ts because the plane is not all white but has a silverish coat all over and that makes the difference,
Also the wau should be more slanting wau as it will then complement the slanting blue and red lines on the fuselage.
Mh should adopt that silverish tint as it makes the whole livery really posh.Also this will help with the plane not looking so dirty,instead of pure white.

(KUALA LUMPUR) Malaysia Airlines System Bhd's wholly-owned unit, MAS Aerospace Engineering Sdn Bhd (MAE), has signed a one-year agreement with Air Mauritius for the maintenance of eight aircraft - six Airbus 340-200s and two Airbus 330-200s.
In a statement here yesterday, MAE said the agreement covered heavy- maintenance checks involving overhaul works and the repainting of the Air Mauritius aircraft with new livery.
It said the services would be conducted at its one-stop facility in Subang, which has the capacity to service over 200 planes annually.
MAS senior general manager (engineering and maintenance) Mohd Roslan Ismail said the partnership marked a breakthrough into the African aviation market, especially southern Africa.
'Many of the small- and medium-sized airlines operate Airbus aircraft and we have built our capabilities to include the A340s.
'It is also more cost-effective for them to send their aircraft here for maintenance due to our proximity to southern Africa and lower manpower cost compared to Europe,' he said.
Now something new to spot at subang!

Just curious,will firefly operates the oldest fleet in the region with aircraft age a little less then 20 years or is there some other airline somewhere in south east asia or ndonesia with an even older fleet?
If not mistaken, after a string of mishaps Indonesia has leap forward with new planes in their sky. Not sure tho.

Jadivindra, how about Airbuses? Any problem?
Sorry Aaron,no idea on airbus.

WASHINGTON — Airlines will have to inspect the cockpit window heaters on 1,212 Boeing airliners and perhaps replace the windows under a safety order the Federal Aviation Administration said Friday it plans to issue next week.
The window heaters have been tied to dozens of incidents involving in-flight fires, smoke, open streams of electricity known as electrical arcing, and shattered windshields in Boeing planes. In many cases, pilots have made emergency landings.
The source of the problem was identified in 2004 as a simple loose screw that chafes power wires where they connect to heating wires in the windows.
The most recent incident was an emergency landing by a United Airlines Boeing 757 at Dulles International Airport in Virginia on May 16. A fire broke out near the captain's side of the window during the New York-to-Los Angeles flight. Pilots used a fire extinguisher to put out the flames, but they had to send for a second extinguisher after the fire reignited. The fire also shattered part of the window. Afterward, passengers said smoke had drifted from the cockpit into the cabin, and fire trucks, ambulances and other rescue equipment was waiting for the plane when it landed.
NTSB has been prodding FAA since 2004 to order airlines to replace cockpit windows on Boeing models in which incidents have occurred with a new window design that uses pins instead of screws. NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman told The Associated Press last month that she was concerned the problem would lead to an accident.
The safety order, which FAA said will be published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, applies to some Boeing 757, 767 and 777 models. NTSB had urged that 747 planes also be included. FAA said it is considering a separate order for 747s, but didn't indicate when that might be.
The order also doesn't go as far as NTSB has recommended. Instead of requiring that all windows be replaced, the order tells airlines that beginning on Aug. 17 they must inspect planes within 500 flight hours and, if evidence of damage is found, replace the windows. The order gives airlines a choice of installing windows of a similar design or the new design. Carriers that choose old design replacements must continue to inspect windows at regular intervals.
NTSB had urged that only the new designs be used for replacements.
FAA said it was aware of 11 cases of fires in the planes over the past 20 years. However, Boeing has said it is aware of 29 incidents involving fire or smoke over the past eight years.
A review by AP of NASA's Aviation Safety Reporting System — a confidential database to which pilots, flight attendants, airline mechanics and others voluntarily report safety concerns — and NTSB records found a dozen incidents since 2002 of arcing and shattered windows in addition to a similar number of incidents involving fire or smoke. The review included 747s as well as the other models.
FAA spokesman Les Dorr told AP last month that one reason the safety order was delayed was that the agency had received new information indicating that both the upper window terminals that connect wires to the heaters were a source of arcing. Previously, he said, the agency was aware of incidents involving only the lower two terminals.
FAA said it is considering issuing another safety order addressing the upper two terminals in 757 planes only.

even better why not tie them upside down with just their heads touching the floor,wah lau that will save a lot of space.Tie them from their feet,just like butcher houses.
Also those who never regain conciousness and die due to blood clot or likes whill then be discarded in a special grave dedicated to all capsule deaths. Those who fail to get or regain concoiusness immediately upon arrival will be then place in a ware house until they regain counciousness and aready to collect their bags, A fee will be charged for ware housing,
My point is that all this will never happen.
AirAsia Skidded Off Runway in Kuching - 11 January 2011

I guess the removal off the slides does not impede any evidence as the cause of the crash as the slides were deployed after the accident.As the plane and the engine is intact, all the evidence is there for investigators.Also interview with the pilots and
The CVR and FDR will hold all the clues.
If in the event the evacuation that was carried out was not succesful and as a result many were injured, or resulted in loss of life, then maybe it would have been necessary to see whether all slides were deployed and how was the evacuation done.
