And he pulls a similar stunt yet again, not too long ago.

Here's the official press release.

http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/mas-losses-soar-to-rm2.5b/ PETALING JAYA, Feb 29 — Malaysia Airlines recorded a stunning net loss of RM2.52 billion for 2011 due to high expenses, the national flag carrier said today. The airline reported a massive net loss of RM1.28 billion in the fourth quarter, which was about as much as the first three quarters combined. Malaysia Airlines CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said that there was a 25 per cent increase in fuel expenses and a 50 per cent increase in non-fuel expenses. “Obviously, this was a large loss,” said Ahmad.

First two destinations should be bookable from tomorrow onwards! Ops will begin on the 28th of March 2012.

Flight number CSA77E, ATR42-500. The ATC recording is available here: http://archive-server.liveatc.net/lkpr/LKPR-App-Feb-15-2012-1030Z.mp3 Scroll to 17.00 minutes.

And the Engineering man is also an ex-MH employee prior to joining TH and then to AK.

For the A320, it takes a little reading of the safety card to understand how to open the emergency exits. These exits are always armed no matter in-flight or on ground. And BC you're right, it takes more than just pressing a button to open these doors. On the A321, they have 4 full sized doors at the wing exits which act only as an emergency exit. These doors are never used for service at any time and they are also in the armed position all the time. These doors are a little easier to open as they are opened the same way as the other entry doors in the a/c and. And this too, is more than just pressing a button! Have to salute the student (and the other Vietnamese people who managed to get them opened despite it being their first flight!) for getting the doors opened. He must have been studying the safety card inside out throughout the flight. And it is true that the repacking of the slides cost the most.

Azhari was AK's regional director of engineering until 31st January 2012.

This is the official press statement which arrived in my mailbox. It should be available in the WWW later today.

This is a leased bird from Air Berlin. Interior and the A320 config is the same as of AB including the cockpit, galley & seats. This bird comes with a drop down LCD screen for every few seats but this option was disabled.

Taken up or given up, I see it as the same since they've classified this whole thing as a "collaboration" where both are projected to help each other grow. Makes sense for D7 to drop the route such not to compete with MH on the LHR/CDG run as suggested by flee. As I said, people in the company have been talking about this for the past few weeks so it is not a final decision yet.

There is some strong rumours going on that ORY & LGW will be handed over to MH, while the Kangaroo routes will be taken up by D7. How true, I guess I am just like you; have to wait and see it for myself to believe it.

Nice catch Liew . I had a gut feeling you would be there to catch something that anyone else least expects.

Flight EK346 DXB-KUL today will be operated by A6-EDJ. ETA is approx at 1440. Happy spotting to those out there waiting to catch her arrival. Hoping for good weather to last.
