OD had jet services to JB from KLIA. However it was cancelled
-
Is MAS still a 5 Star Airline?
-
Looks like it will be seats taken from other retired 777?
-
Ok that explains the strange flight no to Abu Dhabi.
-
saw the MAS B747-400 reg 9M-MPP at Gate H6 this evening 8.40 pm. Apparently on flight to Abu Dhabi as MH8704. Any ideas why they are using the 747?
-
I'm sure that lots of people chose MAS because of the 34" pitch
-
You are right. B1 is the new temp lounge. Used it on last Thursday. Nothing much to say but disappointment. Hopefully the domestic lounge will be ready soon
-
You are talking long haul on the 777. If I'm sitting for 2-3 hours, it's acceptable. But I'll definitely avoid MAS with 30" pitch for 12 hour flights.
-
If MAS goes 10 abreast or reduce their seat pitch I'm afraid they are forgetting the main core of their product. 5 Star Airline. They would just be another 3 star airline.
I remember MAS once won the award for best economy class with their 34" pitch seats. A shame really

I'll miss Seats 14A and F
Was on the 737-400 on MH1058 from JHB to KUL on the 13 June
Now let's hope MAS will return the leased 737-800 with BSI.
I prefer the old 737-400 compared to them.
Even the seat pitch on the 737-400 is better than the current 737-800 with and without BSI.
-
The could also use 737-900 series?
-
That's Malaysia. Enforcement is non existent

What i have understood so far is,
1. To take over mas majority share, you have to be a Malaysian company.
Etihad and Petron are not.
2. The government will not help out MAS financially.
3. Any reboot with government inteference will fail.
4. AirAsia was booted out by the unions earlier, so, no chance here.
5. Sell off MRO is not liked by unions. And they have a say, see above.
6. The unions are there to stay. Whomever takes over has to work with them. You can not wind back that clock.
As we now know that the PM has said that MAS can not be saved in its present form, we will see a different form being introduced soon.
Ctrl.alt.del and reformat hard disk is easier said than done, therefore i would not be surpised if te government chooses to apply a strong anti virus and malware program. This to be brought in by an independant Malaysian investor company who is able and willing to put their money were their mouht is. Their own money that is and with the intention that they want to earn it back. They have to bring in qualified aviation management and have constructive talks with the unions.
The government can then wash their hands from it and step aside.
Far fetched, yes, you bet it is. Impossible, No. if i was a betting man i would start buying shares now.
You can not compare Malaysia and its culture with Japan. Bankruptcy will not happen. Privatisation will.
It's the only chance and the government knows it. They just have to choose the right anti virus software.
Off topic question, why is there an acting minister of transport and not a full time real one?

From what I heard MAS will be taken over by the same person who brought us Petron
-
We must go on. I am on MH714 and MH850 tomorrow, both 772 operated. To me it's in a way a statement of my confidence in our carrier, and in Boeing. It may well be foolish, but then I've never been known to be the sharpest tool in the shed anyway.
I'm on MH73 from HKG to KUL later today. It's a B777-200. My confidence to MAS and Boeing
-
BBC News have already reported on the Malaysian Airlines missing
-
Losing 5 stars. I think it is almost a certainty. Just look at the facts:
On board catering - worse
Inflight service - worse
Seat pitch of new aircrafts compared to old aircraft - worse
-
It just show that MAS is no longer a 5 star airline
-
I guess it's all about the money
-
We'll definitely not 5 Star Airline with 5 Star Meals! Maybe need to re-evaluate MAS 5 star rating?
5 Star Airline with 1 Star inflight Meals?
-
LCC type Meals : Yes
-
MAS 30" pitch is just horrible. That's why I still prefer their older 737-400 which have better seat pitch
-
The fares on MAS website seems to be back to normal
-
MH Mobile is cheaper compared to the website
Potentially being misled by MH's cheap deals?

I think there's a bug in the website. I tried doing the same booking using the desktop interface and mobile interface and found the mobile interface giving the higher price
