Kuching ........learnt to treat it with a great deal of respect , either hot , humid and turbulent , or pouring with rain onto a bumpy disintegrating runway covered in rubber . Where the weather changed from one to the other very fast , magenta always on the radar ...........
Low cost airline , crew always under pressure to maintain schedule , almost always impossible with 20 minute turnrounds ( I kid you not ) so the slightest hold-off causes 'lates' all day , no way to catch up, lots of stupid questions , form filling ad nauseam ,all the ingredients for press-on-itis , very common in SE Asia .
Kuching 2011 , Kinabalu 2004/5 ( 737 )
At least noone hurt , even the iPad .
