N Azman 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2011 A lot of other airlines are inconsistent too when they are transitioning from an older a/c to a newer one. The other carrier in malaysia included. CX/EK/ even the great SQ were once limited by this as well. We need to understand that MAS is in transition to a better productline, and a more streamlined fleet and onboard product. Now if you're saying a certain route should get a constant aircraft type, youre absolutely right. But right now, when there's only 3 new 738s in operation, they are well limited by rotation of aircraft and optimization of its hours. Nobody gets 35 aircraft (and gets rid of 30 odd old aircraft) all in the same month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) Managed to dig up some upcoming MH deliveries (dunno the delivery dates): 9M-MLJ CN 39319 LN 3564 9M-MLK CN 39320 LN ???? 9M-MXD CN 40131 LN ???? 9M-MXE CN 40132 LN ???? It would appear that the leased aircraft will arrive before the MX series deliveries continue. Edited February 12, 2011 by flee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mind if i ask, the in- flight entertainment system is not meant for short haul route is it? Typical of MH, they dont see the benefit of showcasing the new inflight entertainment system on the domestic flights - that this is the new full-of-frills MH. There are programmes which do not require headsets, which can be used to demonstrate to pax the new MH. The management prob does not think into details, just like the new website fiasco where the flaws are there buried in the details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ikman Ikreza 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) So lucky to me flew on the new B738NG (9M-MXB) MH55 yesterday for domestic route (BKI-KCH), I bought only for RM49 all inclusive. Very impressive me and the IFE system not bad too for 1.5 hours short haul. Speacial for muslim passengers, interactive Quran also available in IFE. Thanks MH. Will update later in TR.

Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Short haul means all domestic route? BKI - KUL is 2.5 hours. I've been on the BKI-KUL route and the IFE was switched off! The crew went into the usual mantra (no headsets, domestic flight yadda yadda) and after a good 15 minute "discussion", the crew finally relented and switched it on! Dont the management realise that a domestic pax that feels good about MH's services & frills will consider flying MH internationally? It doesnt cost MH anything in extra cashflow by showing silent programmes (like those Just for Laughs gags) on short sectors, even if it is a KUL-LGK hop. It is about showcasing what MH is all about, even if one only gets a flavour of it on a short hop to PEN. Not sure if the games are now available on the IFE as they werent the last time I flew on the MX- birds. Edited February 16, 2011 by Mushrif A Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted February 16, 2011 So, what is the seat pitch like on these new planes? Better than the old 734? Not good in Y and not much better in C. I wouldnt fly on this aircraft on those overnight flights to ICN or HND. Anything more than 3hrs will not be comfortable. I suspect the new GA 738s may be more spacious.
