Azuddin 1 Report post Posted January 21, 2006 hey guys If you don't mind I'm asking, will MAS put the diagram of 737-800 in Our Fleet page in Going Places Magazine? I saw something interesting while I was on Continental flight. When browsing through the in-flight Magazine, I found that they put a picture of B787 in Continental color in the fleet information page. No detail info on the aircraft such as lenght, weight or others only some words which explains that CO bought them for their fleet. That was early Azuddin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azuddin 1 Report post Posted January 21, 2006 OK, so the A380 will be on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rozhan 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2006 None thus far in Jan 2006 issue. Regarding the A380, I was hoping there will an article on its recent visit to KUL, but apparently none at all. I understand Singapore Airlines has it in their Silver Kris magazine. It would have been a good advertisment in advance of the planes entering the fleet. All we get from MH these days is bad news. Yesterday more price increases, including ticketing charges! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My dad now prefer to travel on CX for flight to LAX. MAS should at least have some article about the A380 visit. There were an article about the A380 in Going Places January 2005. I see that SIA even have the e-mail notification by subcribing it from their website. You get the stories, pictures, and some stream link in your e-mail.

Rozhan 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2006 (edited) About the only times MAS got to me through my email subscription since the launch of its revamped website (was it about 2 years ago already?) was TWICE! One was announcing the Year End specials of Temptations shopping, which highlighted, among others, the Hibiscus model. The other one was a few weeks ago requesting to participate in Enrich's survey. One of the questions asked was if Blue Enrich members are willing to pay cash to upgrade to Gold status. MAS looks very desparate to get cash in every possible way. I wouldn't be surprised if MAS starts selling its timetable books and Golden Holidays travel brochures next. Edited January 21, 2006 by Rozhan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sanjay Thaker 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 guys..this may sound a little contradictary but...lets not critisize the airline so much in times when it is trying its best to return to the black or green..idris jala is doin a good job so far..and the increase is something they would have looked into way more professionally then we know.....support the national carrier while it needs us..

Adrian M 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 (edited) I think when they think about A380 they must having mind-splitting migraine coz one of the bleeding reason involves A380. SQ is different, they are proud and amazingly gracing their XL-Jumbo. Edited January 22, 2006 by Adrian M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 MAS looks very desparate to get cash in every possible way. Exactly why the relationship with KLM turned sour...they're really "overdoing" it, putting everything at stake, and even chasing customers away... Don't they (MH) realize, that when this code-share will be abolished, another profitable route to/from Europe is "for graps" (not to think of all the traffic into/from AU and NZ) ???

Sing Yew 1 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 thats pretty much the last thing u want with your competitor's product being deemed better than yours mate 26033[/snapback] And not to mention some of MH's competitor's airfares are priced lower than MH. At least for ADL's case SQ is most of the time a couple of hundred bucks cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izanee 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 do you mean that KLM is gonna stop its codeshare with MH?? i hope not....that's the last thing we need. I think MH is acting like a 'spoilt child' and i'm not surprised when nobody wants them in their alliance. MH had a deal with NW in the 80s....but screwed them over...so NW stopped flying to KL. they also had problems with BA, AF, QF and now KL. the senior management are a bunch of money grabbing dimwits who are only there to line their own pockets. sack the lot of them...save more money that way. its the same with the National Health System in the UK.....abuse your staff...take away water privileges, coffee/tea, bread; impose car parking charges; cut your salary; make u work longer hours for less....and then employ more stupid and useless managers who earn at least 60-70k/annum..... its the same everywhere i suppose!

Azuddin 1 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 I do heard from some of my friend that MH want to join the Skyteam. But i didn't heard anything about it anymore. is this true? I'm really hoping that MH and KL codeshare will continue. I also think that if the codeshare gone, it could leave some efect on Enrich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rozhan 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 Happy flying I've flown a number of times on MH's A332, but 9M-MKT seems to be very elusive. I can never hope to fly on all the B734s, but 9M-MMH has been 'loyal' to me. At least 3 times on it already in the past 12 months. On the B777, I booked seat 14A twice, and both times flew on 9M-MRO.

Rozhan 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 Fai, will the B738 be returned very soon? I couldn't get to fly on it last 9 Jan as I realized it was Hari Raya Haji the next day, but got to meet some very nice colleagues of yours on a B734 on the 10th. Very warm and friendly as ever, especially the pax load was just about 40+ people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M N Fairizuan 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 (edited) I think, I will miss MMT for a while. On 19 January, one of MAS B734 (most probably) Mike Mike Tango AOG in Penang. Hit by ground support vehicle. Our LGK flight (and many other flights), delayed for 2 hours (my flight only) while waiting for MMN to arrive. Scheduled to work with MMT again that day, but she never arrived. Rozhan, As for 73Q/738, I think we can expect more flights from her next month as all LAN (B73Q) rated crew has completed their training/received our SEP license. My "I think" based purely from our/LAN rated crew roster for next month... rostered for many B73Q flights. But don't take my words la.
