Ok not 500 a/c ..now only 375 .
Probably that was what he wanted, 500 a/c ( ego talk..typical of TF , and that was his stunt ). So actually only 375 a/c inclusive of the first 175.lah . He wanted to beat South West by the a/c numbers.( That was his ego)
MAS of course was living in the golden era of the yester years when were run differently. It was like a govt department before now maybe semi govt. With almost all top politicians having a fair share of Air Asia today
thing look very rosy for Air Asia today and maybe tomoro. It is a double bladed sword.
History has taught us that for the last 10 years God has sent us different ball games for the aviation., something that you could never think of or give a thought that it haunts the airlines. From sept 11, SARS , continuing escalation in the Middle East which affect the fuel price, volcanic ash, earthquake tsunami.
So what s else coming up? We will never know probably asteriod striking the earth, may be E colli bacteria mutations creating epidermics.
My arguement is ( for the sake of argueing.. that s what the forum for anyway )
1. Is the number too big to fit into his south east asian operation.
2.TF thinks he is the only person who can order big numbers and belittled the other operators.
3. His famous word ' we created the others imitate' or something amounting to that.
4. It is just a matter of time when the others will catch up.
5. All airlines have had their ups and downs. When you are small the impact is less and when you are just too big god knows.
Lastly Mr greenpeace98 when your last nightstop at scandicstar Sollentuna?
