MAS was and still is a wonderful place to work in, notwithstanding the management and MAPA creeps whose shennenigans had been covered at length in previous posts and other related threads. Jakals is right; ignore the ****, play round the rotten system and be happy FOR YOUR OWN SANITY!
Generally management blokes and ambitious fly boys can't see beyond their own arses except for short term gains and cheap thrills of " wowing " neighbours and friends on their " positions/status ". Remember years ago some newspaper articles bout MAS " Boeing test pilots " on the B777 taking the old mamak to Aswan Dam? Well that was an example of cheap thrills that delight those " jaguh kampungs ".
If you can ignore those pathetic manoevres of equally pathetic " big league ' wannabes and the general malaise, get on your job and be happy with fairly decent gaji then MAS is indeed a nice place!
