  1. In my personal opinion, i still think expansion is best served by utilising LTCP space opposite MTB and build another MTB (Terminal 3, assuming KLIA2 is Terminal 2). But that space is gone now that they are building KL ATCC.

     

    Talking about maximising available space.

     

    But i am nobody


  2.  

    Think of it as helping the government reducing its debt. Way better for DCA/CAAM to fund themselves than depending on government funding.

     

    And definitely way better than contributing to that Tabung they just opened.

    I have no qualms paying to the current ruling government but it was the previous one that made me feel bitter.

     

    Not helped when they were not consistent with their working hours as well. Try dealing with them on Friday.

     

    One colleague made his frustration public, then director responded they would investigate. Nothing heard ever since.


  3. Believe me crew pass/fail rate does not influence decision to buy certain make.

     

    Its a question of perception. An experienced Boeing pilot will learn how to fly the Airbus given proper training. And likewise.

     

    With regards of high failure rate (unverified at this time to my knowledge), its all known A330 fleet training/checking culture in MAB has been toxic for the past few years.

     

    Yet it wont influence any decision making process to procure 787/A330neo or A350.

     

    For pilots, life goes on. If the boss say go fly a kite, they will fly a kite.

     

    MAB values seniority like other legacy airlines. Recruitment of outsiders for widebody fleet which considered to be an upgrade for everyone, will be kept to minimum.

    No, I don't think it is the "lack of a maintenance culture" that seems to be always associated with anything Malaysian. I don't believe that thing is meant to run almost forever like locomotives. It's old - and there's only so much one can do in maintaining old stuff that is used everyday and almost all day. If maintenance means replacing major parts, they might as well just a new one - which is long overdue. Any examples where this model is used well in excess of 2 decades, and happily chugging along everyday, all day?

    This is no excuse as ive ridden in Metro in germany where some of the rolling stocks were build in the 80s and still functioning great running alongside the newer ones.

     

    If really preventive maintenance was no issue what are they gonna do about it? Its just less than 2km long. Whats taking them so long to actually start thinking whats gonna happen when it breaks down? Might as well just rip the track apart and start using the bus to ferry passengers intra terminal, which in 3 years when buses start falling apart, age is to blame.

     

    And i thought our country is going big on rail infrastructure?
