The Roots of Boeing’s 737 Max Crisis: A Regulator Relaxes Its Oversight SEATTLE — In the days after the first crash of Boeing’s 737 Max, engineers at the Federal Aviation Administration came to a troubling realization: They didn’t fully understand the automated system that helped send the plane into a nose-dive, killing everyone on board. Engineers at the agency scoured their files for information about the system designed to help avoid stalls. They didn’t find much. Regulators had never independently assessed the risks of the dangerous software known as MCAS when they approved the plane in 2017. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/27/business/boeing-737-max-faa.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage

If airlines have regional jet range from 35 pax; it could provide daily service without incurring loss and upgrade seasonally.

If demand is not there, shouldn't fly. With 4x weekly, how many people remember unless others are fully booked.

Why bother with 4x weekly? If can't have once daily, shouldn't even consider.

As U.S. government test pilots ran through dozens of flight scenarios on the Boeing Co. 737 Max in recent weeks, a potential failure got their attention. The planes flight computer tried to push the aircrafts nose down repeatedly during a simulator run, prompted by a stream of erroneous flight data. The Federal Aviation Administration pilot concluded commercial pilots might not have time to react and avoid a tragedy in a real plane. That flaw -- the latest discovered on the family of jets involved in two fatal crashes since October triggered by a different failure that pushed their noses down -- was revealed by FAA last month. It threw new uncertainty on the return to flight of the Chicago-based companys best-selling model and sent its engineers scrambling for a fix. However, the newly discovered problem wasnt triggered by MCAS, said one of the people. It was prompted instead by multiple erroneous data streams in a flight computer that occurred simultaneously, the person said. It was simulated in tests even though it has never been documented to have occurred during flight, the people said. Anticipating every possible outcome of even the most unlikely failures is part of how safety assessments are conducted during certification. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-07-27/latest-737-max-fault-that-alarmed-test-pilots-rooted-in-software?srnd=premium-asia fly by wire may be is the solution to mitigate all these issues.

Likely a threat on job loss, pressure on governments.

More gates could be added but could arrival immigration cope?

The main issue with klia2 design is whole building is centered on skybridge.

Without mahb wasteful design, airport terminal could be built at cheaper price. Tf could sell the airport terminal to reit like many shopping mall developers did.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 : The Kuala Lumpur High Court has ordered low-cost carrier AirAsia to pay RM40.73 million in unpaid passenger service charges (PSC) which the airline refused to collect for six months last year. http://www.frontdesk.com.my/index.php/2019/07/18/court-orders-airasia-to-pay-rm40-73-mln-to-ma-sepang/ PSC collection alone is RM80m a year is a financially feasible project. Unless cost over run substantially, otherwise anyone with funding and financial discipline could complete the project.

klia2 was built to be inferior to t1.

Recent incident over attire highlights the ambiguity in airline dress codes Add rompers to the list of clothes that can potentially get you yanked from a flight. That garment joins baggy pants, short skirts, low-cut blouses, sheer skirts, leggings and crop tops — to name a few — in the catalog of items that have been flagged as problematic by airline employees who either forced passengers to cover up or get off a plane in recent years. Tisha Rowe, a Houston doctor, found herself at this intersection of unclear policy and overzealous enforcement during an American Airlines flight from Jamaica to Miami late last month, when she said a flight attendant told her she couldn’t fly without covering her one-piece shorts-and-strapless-top set. Without a jacket handy, she said, she was ultimately forced to put a blanket over her outfit so she could take the flight with her 8-year-old son, who was in tears after the interaction; she has retained an attorney. The airline apologized this week and said it issued a refund of her fare, though Rowe says she has yet to receive it. How can passengers avoid these predicaments? Are there clear dress codes provided by airlines upfront? In most cases, the answer is: absolutely not. https://www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2019/07/11/recent-incident-over-attire-highlights-ambiguity-airline-dress-codes/?utm_term=.0193f3582780 Airlines could become a fashion police.

Should also compare gross and disposable income.

Before btp, mh routes and network planning was defying what business school would teach. For reasons, mh has been bleeding cash for years. When mh started kul-dxb-ewr, it was bleeding rm18m per quarter from the beginning due to load limitations, and this route never make a single cent. Before ak as we know now, mh kul-bki ticket could be more expensive than kul-bkk. Mh began to crumble when domestic routes was liberalized. If you believe mh domestic routes was subsidized by international routes, you should also believe Harry Potter is a genuine person. There is no doubt, there is a large o&d traffic between sin and cgk. But number of ex-cgk pax transit thru sin is substantial also.

How much more tax do we need to pay?

Another MH favourite story was domestic routes was subsidized by international routes.

The more connection SIN has, the stronger the hub will be and harder to challenge. It is SQ, TR and MI objective to serve as many feasible destinations as possible. If not because political sensitivity, MI could have bought regional jets to render KUL and CGK irreverent as international hub. That was the story the previous gomen like people to believe. The fact is national pride was the reason. That's why before AFC, almost everything MH was comparing with SQ.
