V Wong 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) Seeing the flag on aircraft - proud. Reading the political highfalutin accompanying its launch - very sad. Total effect - sad. Edited July 10, 2017 by V Wong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted July 10, 2017 Najib took his opportunity to blame his predecessor for MAS failures during the event They have been under the Umno led BN government since 1972. The current PM has been in that government for many, many years. He is, as a member of the cabinets that he has served in, collectively responsible for the fiascos of the past. Sounds like the current PM does not understand how this country is administered! Very sad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khalil Abd Halim 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2017 upon closer look, the AK Jalur Gemilang livery looks better than this. This's a much toned down/simplified version than the one on the A330 replica previously https://www.nst.com.my/business/2017/07/256043/malaysia-airlines-track-get-five-star-skytrax-status Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daljit Singh 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2017 When will MWD be unveiled? Can't wait to spot her in KCH. Should be anytime soon, but expect slight delay due ATR spare part issues. MWD is currently in KUL undergoing heavy maintenance check. This same aircraft will also spot MASwings new cabin interior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newitt 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2017 DCA no longer requires the flag to fly facing the wind, so it's not really flying backwards. It's not about DCA requirement, it's about how it looks. Well to each his own I suppose. Guess it's not really a flag livery otherwise it would've been like an actual flag on a flagpole. What about the severed wau? They've introduced yet another variant of the wau, now there are three of them. At least now it's consistent with the corporate logo, though inverted Pardon my obsession with the wau inconsistency...

flee 5 Report post Posted July 12, 2017 We are too fixated with the wau... Just get rid of it lah, if it is so difficult to get it right. Afterall, it is already a toxic brand image with the two plane disasters. Use something better, like Bunga Raya (national flower), or the hornbill... Or we can simply just use a stylised national flag like the BA tail... Come to think of it, this negara ku livery with a bunga raya tail would look quite attractive!

Getting a new brand for the airline could backfire. We havent even bring in to Lion Group's messing with batik and malindo. The old OD c/s works well but Lion scared of OD being associated with its OTP and management decided to roll it to Batik's branding but seeing it now it got even worse. Its wearing Batik color but operates like Lion Air dissociating itself from the premium travelers when the 737Max came in. As for MAS Negaraku livery i dun think flag livery would ever work on a fuselage of a plane. Take SQ A380 for example it didnt look nice at all. The flag has to be in different design and not feature stripes or certain colors for it to look good on a plane which unfortunately many country flags will not work.
