It's sad to say that the ones that have left and about to leave are so called the "cream of the crop" in MAS. Some have endured a painful memory and struggled with the airline during tough times and what do they get in return..? To live in M'sia comfortably and feel content is pretty easy but most of us JUST STARTED to realise that we're just selling ourself completely and utterly short here! It's just an Asian culture where some of us just want to stay put merely because we're too pampered with convenience as well as other personal matters which have obscured our vision. It's not easy to live and being an expat ( esp. an Asian expat!!! ) in an organisation run by others on a foreign land but I believe that with a proper system, we're all the same or maybe even better. True, this time the movement is more compared to 1998...even the FO's are leaving this time around and if that doesn't send any message across to the management, so please help me God that the airline will try it's best to maintain the status of having 95% own nationals as PILOTS/CREW.
No doubt the airline will survive but how...? By paying more to THE OTHERS when the locals can do the same job? Most of the good ones (and lets hope not ALL the good ones....) have left!
Good luck guys and lets hope this will act as an eye opener to those who don't and can't appreciate our good and hardwork contributed all of these years....!
