Talked at length with an old timer at MAS about this MAS debacle. He is afraid that MAS is no longer the flavour of the month for those robbers. MAS has been exposed as a buffet wagon and the Auditor General is secretly collecting evidence to be conveniently used for those cronies who fall by the wayside. With the proposed sky high building sucking in funds, PNB will definitely seek to dig into Petronas's pockets for funding and Petronas will certainly be in no position to rescue MAS from another disaster.
MAPA is certainly a lost cause in any move to reform MAS. The ranks and file in MAS closely mirror malaysian civil service; lots of deadwood and the company is propped up only by the fact that it is the national carrier. The pilot ranks are the same with lots of undeserving people in key positions.
