Was initially excited by the new livery, but can't help thinking the "modern" pattern looks abit similar to Garuda (??) Expected something classier from Hibiscus/ Heliconia livery. The majority of white would seem rather out of place on a wide body (A380)

Another thing is , all 3 are engineers !

Was on MH389 (Shanghai - KUL)this week , and the Capt there managed to calculate the break fast time to 6.27pm (accurate to the minute!). After which the Cabin Crew began to serve meals to the Muslim passenger , approx 1 hour after we had ours

just wondering, do any flight schools operate out of / use subang ? (RMAF discounted)

hey guys , sorry for digging up an old thread & this is going to be OT but .. does anyone have all the callsigns of aircraft that leave subang ? incld private aircraft ? many thanks in advance !

Was guessing there were putting me on a wild goose chase too Talked to the headmaster and Captain something something last time. Not very convincing .. but still looking to get my PPL though. too bad flight schools in M'sia only give lessons in batches.

does the bintulu flight school offer a PTL license now ? i tried a year ago (june 2009) but was told this would only be available later since "there was a batch of china southern crew in training" at the time , and was told to try again next year.

i'd agree fare price in borneo are much much higher for inter-city connection. (not to west malaysia) but i guess this is just to off set the cost of operating aircraft there. I use to fly to BTU-MYY once a month and the aircraft was always 1/4 full !

wow ! thats really close for planes traveling close to 300kmh !

hmmm ... i'm more interested in their salary. is the RM 27k inclusive of bonuses ? I would expect the most senior of pilots to earn more.

i would say consistency lacks on MH. sometime i'll get a whole can , sometimes i'll get half a cup ... but having flown on MH for 4 years long haul (KUL-LHR) & (KUL-BTU) i'd say MH economy is pretty decent. their beef steak on international routes is absolutely tender , i've seen pax asking for seconds even ! and satay on domestic is much welcomed over their snackbox will be travelling again on those routes in a week , and hopefully the service will be the same

wish i could pay economy and fly 1st

wow, they have a Asia category, then China, India & South East Asia and why does Thai have the best 1st class lounge ? anybody have pictures to see how it compares to the rest ?

if it's so hard for D7 , why can't they register themselves as a s'pore/thai/brunei entity ? obviously AK will stay malaysian so it can get the domestic slots. I would think brunei is a good one, since they have the facilities and low traffic / closer to aust & china,japan,taiwan etc (in terms of flight corridors) they can have a secondary hub wherever they decide to offload passenger and then connect them to KUL.

superb news ! skipping straight to the big picture, this could mean our armed forces would eventually be fully equipped with Russian know how. of course the Russians havent really been known for transparency or fairness either

hahaha ... i just visted the website. not only are most of the links dead, even the Follow Us on icons don't lead anywhere. I think they hired someone's kid to do this ? from the level of work, probably a 12 year old with wordpress. makes me wonder how they would handle flight ops, hiring proficient crew, customer service .. the list goes on. Sure you may "links" in Perak, but when you fly into other places how do you expect to support your operation ? what I'm guessing is a gullible owner. Even if I had no experience in a particular field, I would still boost confidence in my staff INSTEAD of telling them "it's alright, we're all new to this, we're expected to make mistakes" which is the feeling i'm getting here. either way, there are many more airlines flying into Riau and Silverfly will be at the very bottom of my list, if at all.

whoaaaa .... any info of the people living in there ? Aviation lovers ? or just too "resourceful" ? i see lights on the belly as well , wished I could have one of those on my lawn !

i think the "lost" here refers to irreparable damage ? [joke] but hey, if these really were "stolen" again ... anybody know who i should call for a couple of nuri's for my house? [/joke]

No offense but , I've found presenting your Enrich card during Check In solves the problem of "missing miles" . I now show it with my IC , and no problems thus far (3 years and counting) Silver and above are entitled to board anytime they wish, It's all in the Welcome letter.

any chance of buying their old Fokker 50 or B734 sims ? imagine sharing one between Mwings members

possible to post up larger versions ? would make very nice wallpapers

you sound very eager to create a heated debate. I'm curious how you came to find "metal fatigue" on AK planes. Perhaps a quick rainflow analysis & coherent optical cross correlation process summarized by miners rule was done before you uploaded your "facts" ? the most important thing to know is how little you know. After all, a little knowledge is a deadly thing.

no joke. i'm lucky enough to have one of my lectures who was the chief engineer for the olympus engines on the Concord as well as BA's Chief engineer for this legendary bird. the Brits & French took turns to host technical meetings regarding the plane. When in Britain, english was used ... but when meetings were held in France ... French was the compulsory language.

if you're able to wait, i'm on a flight back in dec so hopefully everything will be up and running by then current golden lounge in LHR is very poor for one of MH's cash routes. Normal toilets, no hand towels, no amenities, and the bar is always staffed by a lone bartender. Been there 3 times this year, same person. Not only that, drink and food selection is even worst than domestic lounges in Malaysia. No milk, weird food, very obvious pre-packed sushi, probably about 8 beverage types and no cocktails but the food selection does change, havent had the same thing twice. A bit of clarification on "weird food" : they used diluted peanut butter as satay sauce

don't think MH will be affected much. After all C & Y fares on MH are meant for people with $$ to splash out on. Those same people won't be switching to AirAsia just to get a better deal, considering the lack of lounge facility,privileged check-in, express lanes, food and luggage allowance. but D7's new Premium seats will allow alot more people to travel long haul in comfort
