JuliusWong 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2015 Was driving along Jalan Pekeliling yesterday and saw six 777s at, in and around hangar 5. three of them are headed out country i think - they had their titles removed, no more wau on their tails. Cant see the regs tho. Only six B772ER will remain: 9M-MRA 9M-MRE 9M-MRL 9M-MRM 9M-MRP 9M-MRQ The reminder seven are currently being decommissioned. The three B772ER without title and logo could any of seven: 9M-MRB, 9M-MRC, 9M-MRF, 9M-MRG, 9M-MRH, 9M-MRI, 9M-MRN. Insider news. AK no salary raise many pilots are hopping away. I bought kch kul dps return tix in May 2016 Tot would be able to take the b772 flt but downgraded to b738 Not surprised. Some of my friends working in AK have moved on to EK and QR recently. Huge pay, and some upgraded to A380. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S V Choong 4 Report post Posted September 21, 2015 9M-MRI has been stored elsewhere since April 2013. Should be 9M-MRJ then. If I read correctly, 9M-MRI (and -MRK) has been scrapped...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes Shahid, thanks for the correction. 9M-MRI has been scrapped at Tel Aviv by GA Telesis. 9M-MRJ is one of the seven currently stored. Yes, SV Choong, 9M-MRI and 9M-MRK are now Coke cans...

flee 5 Report post Posted September 22, 2015 Wouldn't be surprised if this materializes. The 738s won't be young forever. Hope MH doesn't wait till they become flying dinosaurs before thinking of a replacement, as they did with the 734... Right now, replacing the B738s and A333s are the least of their problems. With low oil prices and high prices for new planes, many airlines are hanging on to their old hardware - these are paid off and all they have to do is keep up the maintenance checks. That is, unless you don't own your aircraft. MH can place orders for delivery post 2020 as their B738s and A333s will then be over 10 years old after 2020. Their current problem (after getting rid of excess aircraft) is to replace the long haul fleet. I think the 4 A359s were ordered to replace the A380s for the LHR service. CDG and AMS routes are currently on trial - if they are not profitable between now and their next D-day for decisions, those routes will go with the B772s. If the routes redeem themselves, MH might order more A359s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alif A. F. 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2015 Interesting that you found it on the Boeing website. Were they trying to sell the B77X to MH? Or could be that Boeing lists the current operators of 777. I saw similar page in Boeing website that lists out the operators of 777 along with 3D aircraft model and livery, though MH was represented in current livery.

jani 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2015 That's not the 77X though? Whatever it is, for sure Boeing would be marketing it to MH.. Whether or not they buy is the question. Seeing as they went with the A350.. Highly unlikely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Najib Ramli 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) MH19 today (Oct 4th) had just been cancelled.. initially delayed from 11:45 to 13:00 due to bad fog at Schiphol (that didn't go away until way past noon),afterward delayed to 18:00 and subsequently cancelled due to technical problem I would have to say, this is really not helping the image of MAB. Less than a week ago it was delayed for 7 hours. lt seems that the positive things we hear from the new management about a new transformed airline doesn't even translate to real world performance. If things keep on happening this way I'll probably jump over to SkyTeam with KLM and Garuda Edited October 4, 2015 by Najib Ramli Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
