….or they could just send a few officers who’d otherwise be at the ferry terminal.

6 daily to SIN? I doubt it…

Following LH’s lead, perhaps? Like how they “won” an award for a J product 6 or 7 years before it had entered service. And even today it’s only on one aircraft or so. Goes to show how meaningless Skytrax is

MH seems to be taking its role as a flag carrier very literally these days…

Funny, 9V-SWB famously had an engine fire after landing back in 2016, but it's still very much in service today. Are 77Ws exempt from this taboo?

You don’t know the cause of death so please stop spreading unverified info. People don’t just drop dead from fatigue. It’s one thing to go on a rant about MH management (even if it’s based on emotion rather than facts), but wildly speculating on someone’s death to back up your point is just poor form.

Like how the last hundred or so VM campaigns brought about significant and tangible improvements…?

Singapore requires all travellers arriving by air (not just Changi) to complete the SGAC, along with visitors by land. The SGAC is not a registration. A new submission is needed for each entry.

I wonder if she knows what they're serving for coffee in J. Nescafe Gold Blend is a joke..

Leasing planes isn’t quite the same as walking into a used car dealership and driving off with a Myvi. First they’d have to find a 738 with same or compatible flight deck configurations. Even converting from imperial to metric is a very expensive and complex move. Securing financing is a tad more complicated than opening your purse. Then there’s the tiny issue of regulatory approvals which make going to JPJ seem like a walk in the park. If they’re going to repaint it, that’s another set of hoops to jump through to secure a slot. Depending on its maintenance history there may also be a great deal of that to do before it can enter service. Even with everything expedited it’ll take several months at the very least. But hey, I don’t have some of the expertise or wisdom that some folks around here have, so maybe it is as simple as throwing money at a problem

Would be useful if this was in a language we all speak.

It's not uncommon for airlines to have one-off or seemingly random cancellations in advance. Could be due to many reasons -- low demand, maintenance scheduling, crew/aircraft shortage, etc. These changes aren't usually communicated to frontliners though.

In-town offices are increasingly obsolete. Back in the day it was necessary to have a physical presence to deal with customers and travel agents, but the there’s much less of a need for that these days. I was under the impression that MH being responsible with its money is a good thing.

Better get the lawyers ready in case of any seat swaps 😉

They seriously need to revamp the road leading to SZB. And that rusting pedestrian bridge just before T2 is an absolute eyesore.
