I was sad to hear that the MAS is to go. I had some of the best and funnest times in KUL with a good group of people out my tenure with AAI. MAS was a good contract and made a good revenue during good times for AAI. I doubt that AAI would have let the contract go if it was feasible for them to continue. I sincerely hope that something else comes along for those who still work there would certainly face some hardship.
For what its worth, I hear that Southern Air has underbidded AAI quite considerably. Might the "Kopper-Tool" be re-introduced to KUL
Wether Southern can actually perform with that low of a bid is another matter. I have my doubts that they will.
