Engine number 1 inboard reverser unable to stow. Rectified...

To be fair no part of the message makes any sense to me at all. No solution, funny English (wonder who they hire for customer engagement), and to be honest, the first sentence sounds pompous and patronizing, or a really bad attempt at empathy. Looks a lot like passing the buck to me and you end up at a dead end. Telling you to to call the 1 300 number pretty much sends you to oblivion. It's so bad that at the regional lounge the staff there told a foreign pax to call the number and select Bahasa instead of English, as selecting English would channel you to the outsourced call centre way out in the Pacific...

Hahahahaha I heard that too. Thought it was a sticky mic in the cockpit but it wasn't! Let me add... 'without authority of the company'...

Agree. the 1Malaysia logo looks out of place and seems as if we're shouting "We're number one!"...

OK when you booked did your eticket say Business or First? Sorry for the sidetrack again.

Did MH explicitly state anywhere pre-purchase something along the lines of "Pay J fare get F seat on our brand new A350 on our regional flights"? I don't think so. Or is your booking just based on an assumption on the back of availability of the F seats for sale? If I were you I would be happy to get a J seat on the 359 rather than the flight being downgauged to the 738, or worse, the -FF or -ML series 738!

Check out those pitot tubes!

Assuming they took off from runway 21, how can they muck it up as all SIDs for northbound departures for rwy 21 says to turn right once passing NAVEY wypt.

Tempted to put up run of the mill social media-ish pictures from my cellphone but they won't do the new bird justice like those hand cannons the pros use.

It's a world of instant gratification, patience isn't a virtue anymore I think I saw one of you lot on the aircraft...

Absolutely. Every photo there is...

Must be a great pastime of yours! Good for you! Flight Management Building

Why are you on the thread then? Those seats have been in there in the FMB for God knows how long now along with some really lightweight full and half size beverage carts sample units...

For certain flight pairings, yes.

Good thing he stopped short of proposing the world's first tropical island airline hub...

That's an easy fix, just paint some lines Jokes aside I hope the branding is consistent moving forward.

It's not about DCA requirement, it's about how it looks. Well to each his own I suppose. Guess it's not really a flag livery otherwise it would've been like an actual flag on a flagpole. What about the severed wau? They've introduced yet another variant of the wau, now there are three of them. At least now it's consistent with the corporate logo, though inverted Pardon my obsession with the wau inconsistency...

Nothing I could do but shook my head as I heard that, anyway, the flag is flying backwards, and the wau has been cropped. They messed up the wau again.

I think they're both messy, MAB's wau is inconsistent to say the least, the corporate logo wau and the tail logo wau aren't similar, the newest 738 logo looks cropped out and unfinished, and on some ground vehicles the wau appears to fly backward, whose idea is this?

We all can't resist such temptation when we see one, but when one goes just a tad too far it becomes a bit distasteful, caveat notwithstanding. Cheers.

Unveiling on Monday.

I suppose wrong choice of words here by the PIC. Human factor. If I were a passenger with the cabin rattling like that last word I want to hear is "pray". Also at one point he said something along the lines of our survival depends on your cooperation, again, not reassuring at all. Survive what? A one-engine out emergency landing on a proper runway at an airfield? This ain't Cactus 1549.. No doubt he brought the a/c down safely, as would any other sufficiently trained air crew, that's in his job description. No need for a retort in the form of a hypothetical question, if Khalil was the pilot he would have landed it safely as he would have got similar training to the captain to end up in the left seat, wouldn't he? Enough gushing with the credit, let the investigation take its due course before we celebrate our own version of toned down Sully. With the double incident the damage has been done though through no apparent fault of AK. Flying public is going to be wary of AK for now as they were when MH17 and 370 went down.

That's hardly reassuring.

Their bodies have been found. http://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2017/06/15/rmaf-crew-of-missing-hawk-108-killed-in-crash/
