Not sure if relevant but the past few days I've frequented klia2 and there's now announcements that advise international passengers to clear immigration ASAP after checking in.

Alamak....

Wood panelling looks beautiful.

Wow, this is amazing news! Hopefully it generates enough energy to justify its installation!

What an unfortunate incident that I didn't even know of until today. May he rest in peace.

Larger profit* (If all variables remain the same). It won't necessarily increase revenue. I don't think the best run company is about capital over labour, but rather about using resources to the maximum efficiency. In Western nations such as the UK and Australia, labour is ridiculously (relative to Asia) expensive and the efficiency to cost ratio of having machinery far outweighs the efficiency to cost ratio as well as the perceived welfare and "premium human touch" importance of employing labour resources. However, in Asia, this may not translate fully where labour can be dirt-cheap. In AK's case, it probably makes sense to use machinery as the "premium human touch" is irrelevant to their main objective of providing cheap fares. However in MH's case, the case of employing labour resources can be argued strongly as it is a government business (employment interests) and a full fledged legacy airline ("premium human touch"). I think the case in Malaysia/Asia is not the cost advantage of employing capital resources over labour resources as I would believe there would be not much difference is costs, but rather the efficiency of employing capital resources over labour resources. Malaysians in general are not efficient workers, especially public sector workers. Therefore I think having the least staff and leanest staff is not the best formula to run a successful company if the staff are an efficient bunch - in which case, MH's isn't.

This must be a huge joke.

It is irrelevant how the crew member spoke - whoever used violence first is wrong. The crew member, according to reports, was not trying to provoke anything but instead just simply enforcing regulations. The passenger, regardless of status or situation, should have obeyed. Even if he thought it was necessary to call his family at that immediate point in time (forgetting that moving from a runway to a terminal usually takes no more than 10 minuts), he could've explained this to the crew member. Instead, he used a fist. This is the problem with status-holders in Indonesia (and to an extent, all Asian countries). They are power-abusers and think that they are above everyone and the law. Unfortunately, they often ARE above the law due to behind-the-scene bureaucracy.

Good. Coming from a 16 year old, I say good. They need to learn how to act civilised and listen to authority when it is essential (when it can risk the safety of others).

Sorry, I should've translated it. "A saying/idiom all Malaysians should learn: Blackout in Malaysia. Meaning: Describes a mystical magical occurence Origin: During vote-counting in Malaysia's election, there was a sudden blackout. After electricity was reinstated, the current government suddenly experienced an extraordinary increase in votes, thus winning the 2013 Malaysian General Elections. Example in use: Xiao Ming participated in a 1500m race, and was consistently last. Suddenly, like a blackout in Malaysia, he unexpectedly seized victory."

Made me think of this: It's so obvious that the withheld this announcement as an election tactic. Malu.

Am I the only one thinking, "No, no, no!" ?

I guess its MH management's response to the thousands of complaints of MH not being innovative enough. I personally find it a nice touch. Even though the headrests provided are of the flexible type, I often find I still need some sort of pillowing for my neck and I have to sacrifice my lumbar support for my neck support. But now, bam! Both lumbar support AND neck support. I appreciate MH's special touch. Next stop: Toothbrush and toothpaste. I personally have morning breath, and let me tell you, it isn't pleasant.

Excuse me while I hang myself.

Start watching Korean dramas. I was at Incheon Airport in 2008, and it was a great airport. Spacious, well designed, well facilitated, and most of all... Well maintained.

I guess Point 3 is the only thing to be worried about... LOL.

I think I misphrased my sentence, but your answer is still applicable anyway. So it is not necessary to quote your Enrich m'ship no. during booking? Thank you!

I was just wondering if it is possible to add in/earn Enrich miles after booking a flight?

Meanwhile in Malaysia, MH can barely keep up with 17 Boeing 772ERs. Congratulations Emirates anyway, I will be flying one of them soon, hopefully!

Hey, at least they have PTVs to distract you from the fact that your overweight neighbour is taking half of your seat.

Looking at is like looking at a really sexy body, just ignore that unattractive face. Or in this case, a really beautiful face, just don't look at the patched up fat body.

Hahaha ku pun mahu! Really makes you wonder if the whole MAS board is blind or something. Why can't they come up with classier liveries that are still lightweight? They compromised too much.

Looks almost hideous.

Still no news on cabin? TG already has their vid, and they're getting their A380 later. Cmon MAS! But probably with all the action in the management, might take a while, no?

Why is it that my brain is straying off to somewhere? Yay! Less than 12 months till MH receives the A380.
