  1. Perhaps you have not spent long enough in the duty free shops prior to the baggage collection as per MAB's intention ?
  2. At least she has found a new home, not going to the graveyard or being scrapped 😊
  3. I believe when the order was made, the existence of ME3 in particular on Kangaroo route was not as strong as of today's and MH thought they will be able to fill the dugongs on those Kangaroo routes
  4. The flight no will need to be changed to RN29 now
  5. That report was for 2nd quarter ended in 30 June 2015. MYR has further weakened since then. Interestingly QF has reported a AUD975 million pretax profit for financial year 2014-15 (1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015). AUD has dropped 20% against USD while MYR dropped 15% during this period.
  6. Do you know which new airline are you flying with yet ?
  7. Air Asia X Indonesia starts flying SYD-DPS from 17 Oct 2015
  8. So Guan Eng is asking the Federal to donate one runway ?
  9. Something that can fly in Malaysia, mmmm...how about the logo of 'RM' ? Coz money in Malaysia can fly too ! Sorry, can't resist ......
  10. An Australian plane passenger, who claims he suffered back pain after being seated next to an overweight man, is suing Etihad Airways. James Bassos says he had to contort his body to avoid contact with his fellow passenger during a 14-hour flight from the United Arab Emirates to Sydney. He said the journey resulted in a back injury and is claiming $227,000 (£106,000) in damages. Etihad insisted it would continue to oppose the case. "Mr Bassos will finally face a medical assessment in December 2015," the company said in a statement. "We believe that the matter will proceed to an early conclusion." continue reading at : Australian sues Etihad over obese passenger
  11. Perhaps RN, Rosmah Najib and the flagship route will be RN26
  12. Ex-mining land (slime) or ex-oil palm plantation land (peat soil) are soft and it would require extensive ground treatments. The existence of thick soft marine clay along the coastal does not help either. Settlement is a result of soil consolidation process, a process for the soil to decrease its water content under static load hence reduce (shrink) in its volume. The settlement rate is greater at the beginning of the process and gradually tapering off towards the end of the process. Without any treatment, the process could take for a very long period of time until it becomes stable. There are many types of ground treatment, depending on its suitability, efficiency, time and of course, cost. For example piled foundation, soil replacement, temporary surcharging & vertical drains (to expedite the soil consolidation process) among many others. IMO, any ground can be treated. The issue is the cost and is the cost spend commercially viable. Normally engineers would design any structure that goes on soft soil to settle within tolerable settlements. When the settlement is uniform, ie every structure will settle at the same rate hence the problem is not that obvious. However this is not always the case. More often we are facing with differential settlements and they need to be treated appropriately. One good example is as Suzanne has pointed out, Elite Highway. I remember the pavement settles until some bridge pilecaps in the highway median which were originally under the pavement level exposed and can be seen. This is due to the pavement settles at a higher rate than the piled bridge structure. Similarly in the case of KLIA2, we may see one day a A380 can go pass under the skybridge which is on pile if the apron settles great enough to make the necessary clearance
  13. KLIA has the theme 'airport in the forest, forest in the airport' Of course there is a theme for KLIA2 too, 'airport in the pond, pond in the airport'
  14. How could you miss out one of our PM's name ? I mean ........Tun Abdullah Thanks for sharing the nose shots, nose bleeds !
  15. Hong Kong Rejects Jetstar HK in Victory for Cathay Pacific
  16. If B738 has the range MH will send them to LHR too !
  17. It is just like so many political parties in Malaysia
  18. If Indonesian Government can consider to abolish the visa requirements for Australian passport holders, or at least offers transit visas like what China does, that would help GA to tap into Kangaroo routes and Oz-Far East routes as well as stimulate the tourism industry from transit pax.
  19. So each pax is allowed to carry only two oranges onboard while Business Class and Platinum / Emerald paxes can carry additional two apples ?
  20. Next the airlines may limit the size of infant on lap. Giant size babies may need to purchase a seat
  21. Is MH the only operator who has B777s in 2-5-2 configuration in Y ?
  22. IIRC, MH used to fly B744 on KUL-PVG route....
