Johan Z 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2013 Maybe MH should give away all of the headphones that have been heavily used on the widebodies. Although they worked fine but mostly nearly fell apart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its hybrid LCC... same goes to AK which have FFP, pseudo first class, red carpet, etc Don't quite agree that AK is a hybrid because they still charge extra for the "luxuries". Malindo is because they include luggage, food and aerobridge boarding in the ticket price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike P 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2013 You probably can find a 1 pin converter somewhere. Actually you can use your own normal one pin headset to connect, no issue. MH headset socket is 3 pins, unlike OD, it's one big head pin so passenger has to buy and rent by MYR 15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then I'm not very sure but somehow I seem to remember it being 2 pins... On MAS 777 it is 3 pins but 2 pins headphone is used. unlike OD, it's one big head pin so passenger has to buy and rent by MYR 15. One big head pin ? I thought it's the small head PIN ? 'Cause my friend said on FB that he was able to listen to the IFE using his Apple Earpod. After awhile, frequent passengers will just leave it at their seats. One is enough especially when you can't us it anywhere else. I will always take it home with me. But then that's just me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They could have thought about printing the airline logos ala KLM, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radzi 2 Report post Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Heard some rumors regarding OD. Of the few pioneer members, one has resigned (confirmed), one is about to resign and another one is no longer in management. I wonder how true those rumors are.

Isaac 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2013 Mind to share where is the zero fares?? Zero fare + airport tax + fuel surcharge. Air Asia only offered real zero fare to select few destinations in Peninsular Malaysia in the past two - three years. But they have started to offer real zero fare between Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia again after Malindo Air started service. There was a zero fare promotion like a month or two back.

Lock SH 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2013 Heard from the horse's mouth last week, Lion Air will be receiving 36 x B737 in 2014, 12-14 are destined to Malindo, the rest will be distributed between Lion Air and Thai Lion Air. Malindo also will be receiving another 4-5 x B737 by end of 2013 and a few more ATRs (could not remember the figs). Good for consumers but not to Firefly and MasWings as they started losing quite a number of captains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Believe FY contribute quite substantially to MH's bottom line, expect MH next year P&L will be hard pressed. Instead of ATR-72-600, FY should have ordered CRJ or ERJ to gain an advantage over OD's ATR-72. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
