    i agree with Izanee there, but please, don't just replicate someone else's work. it'll be nice if you used that only as a reference and come up with your own one. furthermore, your cover letter doesn't have to be so bombastic. good luck Yohan!

    i think the meal looks expensive when they actually list the price down. usually, when you travel on other carriers and you pay RM800/900 for the ticket, they do not list how much you're paying for your food..

     

    the price is very very cheap...can't wait to see what airasiax can offer now..

    there is absolutely no harm in doing whatsoever test you want. but how many people have been victims to these? history keeps repeating itself without a fullstop anywhere. we're not talking about test robots or something so sophisticated that we don't need the human brain to control them.

     

    i'd say enough is enough. time is moving so fast that there are new inventions coming up daily. we can't still stick to the 50s and 40s technology and sacrifice more lives. i wonder if there were to be a VIP in that copter, what would have been done by now.

    MAS again, overbooked by over 50 people..lets see how far is this going..

    SEPANG: The mood was ugly at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) yesterday.

    Hundreds of passengers were stranded and some, facing delays, were furious when informed that their Malaysia Airlines flights were overbooked.

     

    Perth-bound MAS passenger Darren Woon, 25, was upset when told his flight was full.

     

    He claimed a MAS employee said it was overbooked by 50 people.

     

    "I can understand if it’s just five people ahead of me, but 50?

    "They didn’t even make an effort to contact us. They merely waited for us to turn up, then tell us the bad news.

     

    "This is so unprofessional."

     

    Woon claimed he was supposed to be at work today in Perth.

     

    Foo Ee Lin, 26, who was sending off her 17-year-old sister to Melbourne on a MAS flight, was outraged when told that the flight was overbooked by 60 passengers.

     

    "I’ve been flying to Melbourne for the past six years but this is my worst experience."

     

    She said MAS should have called as her sister’s seat was confirmed. "My sister is having her exam (today), if she misses it, how does MAS plan to compensate?"

     

    Yesterday, the New Straits Times reported that on-time departures had fallen below the airline’s record of above 80 per cent of flights.

     

    Productivity fell as many employees were reportedly unhappy after the management carried out a performance appraisal using a system which they said they were only trying out.

     

    They were also disappointed about their performance bonuses, share options and a recent one-off payment.

     

    MAS human resource senior general manager Effendi Abdul Rahman yesterday issued a statement saying that under the mutual separation scheme last year, 2,622 employees left the company, and not 20,000 as reported.

     

    This year, he said manpower may be reduced by 700.

     

    Sources at the KLIA claimed MAS employees were on a so-called "silent strike". Because of this, they said many international and domestic flights were delayed, including those to Perth, Melbourne, Auckland, Penang, Johor Baru and Kota Kinabalu.

    PUTRAJAYA: Felda youths will take to the skies under an agreement with AirAsia to train them to become pilots.

    Felda will sponsor each youth at a cost of RM180,000 for one-and-a-half years of training, and the airline has agreed to provide guaranteed employment to those who make the cut.

     

    The first batch of five youths have been identified as possible trainees and will be interviewed for admission into the next session of AirAsia’s pilot training programme, to begin next year, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced yesterday.

     

    He said the candidates were all Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) holders and would be required to pass several tests to ensure they met the requirements.

     

    "We will increase the number of candidates in future batches.

    "The investment to train each person is high but they will stand a chance of becoming pilots and will have guaranteed employment by AirAsia if they graduate successfully," Najib told a press conference after launching Felda’s Golden Jubilee celebrations at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre here.

     

    Another 75 will be trained under Syarikat Penerbangan Awam to become aircraft maintenance engineers, at a cost of RM125,000 each.

     

    Both training programmes come under Felda’s allocation to provide skills training to settlers, especially unemployed youths who are still living in the land schemes.

     

    An allocation of RM25 million was spent on skills training in 2004. The amount has been doubled to RM50 million since 2005.

     

    To date, 8,660 people have completed their training in various industries and hold qualifications at the certificate and diploma level.

     

    "Felda youths must not be satisfied with passing their SPM and limit their ambitions to running small shops by the roadside, or becoming mechanics and remain within their settlements. They should have bigger dreams," Najib said in his speech when opening the event.

     

    "Our programmes for Felda youths will be aimed at building professional skills. The first generation of settlers opened up land, the subsequent generations should open their minds."

     

    Najib also announced other goodies for the 317 settlements nationwide:

     

    • RM1.68 million a month to be distributed in the settlements to improve and beautify their surroundings and public amenities. The idea is to turn settlements into "garden communities";

     

    • A RM10,000 grant for each settler home that is old and in poor condition. Najib said there were 3,662 houses in this condition and the total cost to renovate them would be RM36.6 million;

     

    • A maximum loan of RM40,000 for settlers who want to enlarge their houses. The loan is interest- free for 15 years and there have been 5,907 applications; and

     

    • New street lighting in 50 settlements costing RM10.5 million, to be completed by the end of this year.

     

    Najib said Felda was still considering this year’s bonus payout and duit raya allocation.
