A slip-up lead to a front page of an advertising section of the most widely read English newspaper in Malaysia? Sounds like a practical joke to me. And who is going to pay for it?
In my opinion, like it or not, AirAsia should be an option for senior FOs in MH. Money is less for now but jet hours as command could get them to other places. For those patriotic about MAS being a national airline, AirAsia has been accorded that status as well so why not help raise standards in AirAsia on to be par? I am not saying standards are low but I would love to see AirAsia being one of the best managed LCCs in the world being piloted by the best pilots in the world.
Yea I know that would be hard because most 'best pilots' are in it for the money.
