flee 5 Report post Posted January 2, 2013 Now if we could just get the 'Malaysia Airlines' branding and logo sorted out....... The branding issues are well known - there are people still refer to it as Malaysian Airways! So the "confused puppy" thingy is still very much in need of sorting out. Hopefully, oneworld will help a bit for MH to build its brand identity and focus on being able to distinguish itself from the competition, both domestic and international.

KK Lee 5 Report post Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) After QR join OW by early next year, it will be tough for MH to attract Qantas frequent flyer to Europe. If MH remain uncompetitive, there is a possibility that more Enrich members (except those tickets paid by GLC or gomen) travel to Europe on QR than MH.

Izanee 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2013 Not really KK, QR only serves two points in Australia - for now. MH serves 5 points in Australia. I doubt passengers will want to change planes twice to get to Europe... But I agree that MH will need to be very competitive and offer a very good product in order to stay in the game. They can't afford to slack off. Cutting back on inflight services instead of getting rid of redundant or unproductive staff will not solve anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lock SH 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2013 'Jabatan Penerbangan Malaysia' or MAS will not fire any of its staff unless it is disciplinary reasons. The govt has to fulfill its social obligation to employ people and keep them employed as long as possible. In fact, last saturday, MAS advertised job vacancies in The Star, instead of retrenching, MAS continue recruiting. One has to remember, one of the main reasons MAS is in red is not because of the number of people employed but due to lobsided contracts awarded to cronies.

Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted January 11, 2013 The continuation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmjmdfiXV1A Quite a full F class. Hopefully all are revenue pax, or at least from redemption channel. I think the kid's tour is a brilliant idea. Hopefully it is being consistently carried out on ALL flights.

Raymund Yeoh 1 Report post Posted January 17, 2013 So on 1st February, there will be an MH plane painted in special OW livery? I dont think so......most likely a ceremony to unveil the compulsory tiny OW logo (found at the front of the fuselage) on maybe a MH Dugong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted January 18, 2013 During the rather unwarranted premature expose' of the B738 retro livery, it has been leaked that the same group of senior forum members are bidding to do the coverage of the special oneworld livery to be painted on the albino 9M-MND too. The question is, whether MH plans to unveil it on 1 February 2013 or later. A spy from the MH Rumour Department leaked that the will be a meeting between the MH Social Media Team (hint hint hint) and the senior members of MW tomorrow (19 January 2013) about this matter. So I guess I will try not to ruin the party unlike last time, unless any leakages voluntarily reach me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Josh T 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Hm...note how both defunct OneWorld airlines start with the letter 'M'...and the newest airline to join also start with 'M'...
