flee 5 Report post Posted June 25, 2009 Already there are grumbling noises from the national sport teams on the relevence of D7's sponsorship of the Raiders. Why not sponsor Malaysian teams, they asked. Malaysian sports suffer from this disease - the more money you pump in, the worse the results will be. So it is better not to sponsor them. They just waste the money! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radzi 2 Report post Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Well, I knew the rules from playing Madden NFL. Don't ask why I play the game when I think American Football is boring. I just play... But check out today's Malay Mail. Already there are grumbling noises from the national sport teams on the relevence of D7's sponsorship of the Raiders. Why not sponsor Malaysian teams, they asked. Could it be that the Raiders paid money to D7 to have their team depicted on the aeroplane? Could it be that the Raiders are sponsoring D7 instead? Because if that is the case then the local politicians (well, they are the one running the national sport teams) can just shut up. Off topic: I suggest you guys read up the basic NFL rule and then watch a full game from the start. It is not just the execution of the game, but also very much on the strategy and anticipation.

flee 5 Report post Posted June 25, 2009 how about BKI ar? Apparently, D7 lent the plane to AK to help them out because one of their planes was down and this way, AK did not have to cancel KCH flights. Also helped D7 to get more pilots checked off for the A340. 9M-XAC actually starts full-time operations to STN this Saturday 27 Jun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted June 25, 2009 I think D7 currently has a problem - it does not have enough planes yet. I am sure they will look into it once their fleet is of sufficient size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted June 26, 2009 That is only important if D7 intends to carry cargo, like on its STN flights. If it only carries pax and baggage, it will almost never reach MTOW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
