Many LowCost Oper8rs, have bought the Airbus "line". Quick profit for the management and owners. Delays, inconvenience and increased risk for the PAX.
Air Asia (Malaysia) has the largest feet of NEW A320's going..... on my LAST (and I DO mean LAST) Air Asia flight ex KL, I caught a glimpse of the flt deck on boarding one of theiir NEW A320s and was amazed by the sea of orange DMI stickers on the panels. I thought they had changed the Airbus cockpit colour scheme...
My family does NOT fly Air Asia or Adam Air any more. Neither do I ! Flights with MAS only accepted if it's on a Boeing.
Thanks for the info Podunk, shocking but it's nothing new. However, we're here
not to discuss about the conditions of an AirAsia A320s, nor why SilkAir opted to revamp their whole fleet from B737 to A320 after the crash. The talks about Adam's plan to buy A320 is not relevant either. Why you opted to fly with MAS and that's ONLY on Boeing is way below anybody's tolerance who happen to be on the airbus! I do sense some irregularities so lets not start the "Boeing VS Airbus" issue here.
and stick to the actual thread please....!
