There are some real staffing questions I have:

Where they are going to get the 737 Capts to fly the left seat for Malindo? There are more than enough CPL holders out there to fill all of the right seats, but where are the experienced Capts going to come from?

Are there enough Malaysian ATPL holders flying elsewhere who will come home for LCC pay? I would think anyone who has the license and hours is already flying for Air Asia. Or will they have to (once again) reverse course and have to allow expats to come in temporarily to fly?
