He promises PAIN, FEAR and MISS-INVOLVED.

Obviously a very smart and brainy guy (if not he won't be speaking in Judge, University of Cambridge). But he needs 5 years. Good luck. To the uninformed, Christoph Mueller is the new CEO of Malaysia Airlines. The first non Bumiputera in the history of mankind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted March 5, 2015 Mind divulging more on why your ex colleagues are ex colleagues after meeting Mueller if they had positive first impression? Are they not listed by the New Co? Or they are ex colleagues because you left the sinking ship? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To resurrect mh involve a new fleet mix and new aircraft order need over 5 years to complete delivery, Mueller will need over 5 years to complete his task but according to some rumour his contract at mh is unlikely to be renewed for the 3rd term.

Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted March 6, 2015 I received an alert from MH's top management to correct an info in this thread. Christoph Mueller is not the first non-Bumiputera to hold the position. The airline's first General Manager (which was in effect a CEO then) held the position for 10 years and he was Tan Sri Saw Huat Lye, a Malaysian Chinese. So that makes Christoph Mueller the first non Malaysian CEO of Malaysia Airlines in the history of mankind. Told you I'm fabulous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S V Choong 4 Report post Posted March 8, 2015 Chris, please reduce the number of MH liveries to just one. Many customers are either confused or wonder where the consistency is. Please also get rid of the ridiculous half cropped Wau logo of the hybrid Swoosh / A380 blue livery... and please bring back the full Wau logo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leon t 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2015 first thing although very "minbor" to him and not even notice it - is to wash and clean up MH planes esp the 330s and 777s - their fuselage is often dirty esp towards the back section and around the tail section. just saw another dirtied 330 last fri. it doesn't give passengers a good feeling to see its planes like haven't been wash and cleaned for a long time - although it is not a safety issue.

Since Malev has shut down - can MAB request the MA code from IATA? Edited March 21, 2015 by Mohd Suhaimi Fariz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S V Choong 4 Report post Posted March 22, 2015 Since Malev has shut down - can MAB request the MA code from IATA? Why would you want to do that though? I think MSA's previous IATA code was ML and now it is used by Midway Airlines Inc. VA was used by other airlines and then it was taken by V Australia. (Virgin Blue's IATA code was DJ). Since the amalgamation of several virgin brands down under into Virgin Airlines, only the VA code has been used by extensively by them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Bandit 0 Report post Posted March 22, 2015 "MH" had been synonym with those veterans and aviation enthusiasts in Malaysia land. Just because of two major disaster, airline code need to be changed. I hope it will maintains though. MH is not just airline code, it is Malaysian Hospitality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having three liveries show that its branding and marketing strategy is somewhat confused... If we take how the "wau" is painted on the tail, the colour of the all blue coloured wau on the A380, and the colour of the wordings "Malaysia Airlines" (some red and blue, some all bule), it does seem like MH is having an identity crisis.

Cheng Long 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2015 Most people wouldn't know airline code. It's something they don't bother about. They know Malaysia Airlines as Malaysia Airlines. Changing airline code is unnecessary. Might be better to change the slogan Malaysian hospitality to something else and campaign from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought MAS already changed the slogan to "Journeys are made by the people you travel with"? Hardly can find the slogan "MH is Malaysian Hospitality" nowadays..

JuliusWong 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2015 I would think they should part ways from any previous marketing tagline and create a totally brand new marketing campaign. Previously it was done very well, maybe not the last one......as we move on to new chapter, we should leave whatever had happened behind.... Malaysia Airlines......a new beginning takes flight.
