Keep at it, you'l get your par/pars one day.

Yes, I heard about those rescheduled flights. On one, we had the former DDFO, good ole Joe, on the CM1 seat, and on the CM2 seat was the former DFO, ye ole camel. Nice of them to have rescued the flight considering it was the current SVP that removed them.

Whilst other airlines are expanding, we cant because of this predicament. Going off tangent a bit, recently CAL put on an ad in our local papers trying to recruit pilots. They are looking for FOs, young ones with about 1000 hrs for FO positions on 744. They are also looking for Capts on 744s. For Capts they prefer ex IPs/AEs only to replace some of theirs that are retiring. This is an exception as they have stopped recruiting for captains for 744s. (Local pool sufficient). You begin to wonder why Malaysian local papers.

We may loose more people and more and more flights will be recheduled.

Good luck MAS in your recovery endevours.
