can't blame them since almost all corporate material now has the slogan , "MH is for Malaysian Hospitality" followed by "MH more than just an airline code"

out of curiosity, would there be any compensation offered when such a directive is given? (grounding) either for this case or any other type ie: DC10, A310's etc

if it does happen in KUL, I will finally be able to join after 6 years on this site my flight (MH1/3 ?) back will be arriving evening of 25/6 from Heathrow

I'm still doing an undergrad in engineering , but I believe the issues you are referring to are confined in the manufacturing process ? can't quite imagine changes - however minor - being put onto a finalized design. The amount of paperwork of even adding a screw feature must be humongous !

I like the "no time frame because we will do a good job" , begging the question ... Did no one take notes while building KLIA 1 ? They are after all building on the SAME plot AGAIN.

just wondering, with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong attending the British Royal wedding today ... which airport would DiRaja 1 use in M'sia ?

pressurization is a constant process, so such a small hole + low attitude (below 10k feet) would not cause the rapid decompression seen in movies. the stray bullet seems plausible but then the hole is on the top of the plane ? a falling bullet would not have enough velocity to penetrate the fuselage, let alone a shotgun slug !

Personally I'm neutral with this livery. Just not something I'd point out to someone while waiting at the airport. Anybody knows the interior of this aircraft ?

probably the most cost effective plane of its class ... but where will Lotus be flying to with this ?

seems the RMAF birds have yet to complete their mission ?

A quick google search places the complete set at $106k Canadian. Seems like a very reasonable price for a fix based sim, about the price of a Audi A4 in Malaysia. I will definitely pay for a go !!

NST very disturbing news and RIP to the victim but isn't all crew accommodation sharing ? so this leaves only a short time for the incident to happen.

this is becoming much more than coincidence or "bad luck" for Qantas. Anybody knows why their mishaps are always much more graphic than the average failure ?

Only found the souvenirs missing , apart from that all the rest were available on KUL/LHR leg last week (including the sandwich ) A complain would be the cabin crew did not know any other combination of cocktail apart from the generic few already on the menu ...

thanks for this ! Wonder why MH placed the reg so far back , till it looks slanted due to the fuselage curvature.

just wondering, why is everyone leaving their shirts untucked ?? I don't want to sound like a school teacher, but certainly it's courtesy for the public to dress appropriately ?

When MH were in charge of the Rural Air Services (RAS) in Sarawak & Sabah, how did they choose the pilots for this ? I'm quite sure not many ambitious pilots would take to flying the Fokker 50 or Twin Otters. And being from the area, I've had to use the F27's & F50's for 20 years now so just curious about how thing worked before (and maybe now with the ATR ? ) The Fokker captains were usually at least 40+ and not mainly Malaysians (Japanese,Philippines,Dutch etc) but First Officers were always young Malaysians. Not quite sure about the Otters though since I'm seldom on them ...

something just came to mind ... since this a380 sim is new (june/july) but has the old livery and 9M-MXA , the 738 was painted in Nov. Can it be inferred that this livery change was more of a rush job than part of a long term strategy ?

I'm intrigued why MH isn't going for a unifying theme between their (new)planes and lounges ? Certainly the cabin of those 738 don't not have that tropical feel.

Those who are rich, won't be free enough. And those who are free, won't be rich enough I'm certain there are a couple of people in KCH willing to do this, but will it be enough to sustain the club & maintain your planes ?

Close to none. Just quote someone an hour rental, fuel price and landing fee ... I think they'll be comparing how much kampua/laksa they're able to get with that money ! And if there are people rich/free enough to go for a private PPL , they could get GGIFA from Bintulu to come everyweek or so and pick them up Or rather, they will already have licenses from Aust/NZ which I heard is a hotspot for M'sians to do their lessons.

great shot guys ! too bad MH didn't take the chance to set a new standard though. I see the "simplicity" aka cheapness in the new livery now, blue in front and red at the back to match the cabin and those seat dividers in C looks like they came from a 90's Mercedes. Plain bulkheads, unchanged toilet ... why couldn't they keep with the old batik/floral style that fits in with the Malaysian identity ?

thanks for the video ! but I couldn't see any damange, let alone a "broken" right wheel

I agree, Firefly even has them on the storage bins ! Thankfully MasWings dosen't have this, and the drop down screens only have Tourism Malaysia videos giving a hint of gov intervention (yet still classy ) Hopefully MH dosen't try to emulate AK's strategy this time ....

I think it would have been much nicer if the blue & red bands were thicker. From the video, the plane doesn't stand out as much as the previous livery. Also, why did they have to change "malaysia" to malaysiaairlines ? the new 2 tone title seems pretty cheap imho.
