Well Bonieo Weak Man, think you probably had a few beers too many when you posted your last? Would have been fun to fly with you, however I do prefer to go with professionals!!
I do agree with you that there are lots of great guys left in RBA, its just sad that there are weak individuals in positions of power and authority that constantly drive these great people out. For a small flying club its is certainly well known out in the void of real airlines, unfortunately for all the wrong reasons.
Glad to hear you can still get beer, however it will be like all the other nice little things in the abode of peace, it will gradually be taken away.

Apa boleh buat-lah?
Yes, definately arriving next week! That was four weeks ago. 
Wanchai, is that like Kuala Lurah, without Ebineeza's?
Isn't it about time someone wrote an MOR about SN
working all day in the office and then flying long haul in the evening. "Ahhh, you see, (last name spoken with contempt!), I have company interest at heart, maybe you can be model effoh, do same and you get command or 777 course. So you tell me who doing what?" blink blink.
Did anyone ever hear the result of his recent "How to be nice to people management course?" He was sent on one apparently, but the report card is not in.
Just a quick jem of wisdom to share:
It's always a good idea to fly past the Tower to check if your wheels are down & locked when you have gear problems, especially at night

Tiger to Brunei
I see that Tiger Airways of Singapore have been given authority to start services between Singapore and Brunei. This route is one of RBA's busiest. I don't know how lucrative this route is, especially since it is also a code shares with SQ, but this must or SHOULD make RBA's management sit up and think
The up-side is there will be more choice for the customer.

Chaos Rules
Leave cancelled by SN (no disscussion, no do you have any hols booked and paid for, would you mind)
A visit to the office takes place to find what scrapes are left, ah that 4 days to take the family to Oz looks good.
What does this guy do, run down a mate or two, disclosing private and personal details with a clear view of intimidating me like he has no doubt done to them.
I feel a sharp decline in respect for this fleet manager and have sympathy for those of us that for one reason or another feel it best to stay here-for now.

RBA woes
It is sad that RBA has come to this; however for many with the East India Company type of mentality, it is the end of the buffet wagon. The filthy good days are gone, the loot are mostly gone and the fear is that the fortress may crumble as the foundations are rocked.

Foundations
The foundations are not being rocked, quite the opposite. The foundations are crumbling due to neglect and inaction by those in management ,who, with a little bit of intestinal fortitude, could make a big difference. The basic product is sound and with a thorough update could become world class again, or at least relevant.

Unfortunately the truth of the matter is that Brunei, with it's tiny population and it's very limited tourist attractions, cannot reasonably justify anything more than a few A320s/737s for local connections, as it was a few years ago. No-one will bite that particular bullet, so the outfit flounders around with the clueless management continually bleating 'must cut costs', whilst it is haemorrhaging cash at every turn. 3 separate fleets!!! [perhaps, if the 777s ever materialise]. Any competition nearby? Only SQ and Tiger amongst many others!!
What does Brunei want? A first class long haul flag waver/employment scheme which doesn't come cheap, or an airline with the correct critical mass that might just break even? Unfortunately at the moment it has neither to nobody's credit.

New CEO or another puppet
Mr Sayer??? Who’s he?
Another lamb to the slaughter or just there to collect a big lump of money when he beats his retreat from this foolish company run by incompetents.
Hope he's got a good crash helmet on, as he will be beating his head against a brick wall with this lot, perhaps he should read what customers think of this circus.
