Amirul Mazlan 0 Report post Posted May 4, 2015 So many think tanks, saying this and that, at the end of the day, government who hardly think makes the decision. That's why we are still subsidising our national carrier to this day and many more years to come, without any sound solution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excuse me Datuk Chin, what about Customers? Haven't they done that for many years? Pleasing everyone to the point of near catastrophe? In reality they can't please everyone ... best for them to focus on bringing the blue numbers back. A bit surprising with that statement coming out of the mouth of a member of the Anti-Corruption Commission, as it could be misread easily.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted May 14, 2015 Latest leak by my spies at the MH Rumour Department: MH will reduce B738 service to selected domestic and ASEAN destinations from 1-7 June 2015. As a result some of the services to BKK, CGK, SIN, HKT, PEN, BKI, KCH and LGK will be operated (upgraded) by B772 and A333 throughout the period. Good news for local spotters.

Craig 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2015 What's going on with the 737s that week? Seems like the are consolidating flights (e.g. BKK went from 7 to 4 a day during that week with 2 737s consolidating into 1 777). Also some HKG 737s flights are canceled (from 4 daily to twice daily). Normal schedule the week before and after May 30 to June 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
