Cadet intake put on hold for both MAS and Air Asia until mid next year. MFA busting at present and it will take at least 12 months to clear the current students.
Avaition in Malaysia is finally coming to a close...back to the early 1990's with more pilots then jobs...

Love that Malaysian solid planning... Company going under?
Hey lets start some more cadets! We can train them up then use them as slaves for a few years. If they leave, hell they broke there bond!

Regarding MAS the "jokers"

It seems that all 6 were selected. All these happened in the midst of the retrenchment!My question is why recruit when MAS is retrenching?
In the midst of all these, 2 of the selected guys are malaysians and apparantly they have already started training on F50s! It seems that these 2 guys' dads are captains in MAS!
The rest of the guys are apparantly expats who are fresh pilots just out of MFA for the twin otters FO position. They were also told that they were selected although not in B&W. However, they are not hired yet. The reason from MAS "we are retrenching..... so we don't know abt your situation"!
My question is.... if they are retrenching, why did they do all the selection processes? Then how come MAS hired the locals if they are retrenching?
Another joke is, some of these foreigners were called when they were in their home countries. They had to buy their flight tickets and pay for hotel stay, food, etc here! It has been about 2 and a half months already and they have not got a reply! Poor these fellows....!
News just in!!!! Thoses expat interviewed and selected for FO position for Twin otter/F50, ALL OF THEM WERE KICKED OUT! They awere all apparantly been selected as they were informed over the phone.......Poor fellows..... spent so much of money for their flight tickets, hotel stay. food just to attend these MAS clowns' interview! Wasted 3 months of their precious time!
Reason from MAS: Route rationalisation..... retrenching.
Hot news...... MAS giving up ALL F50s and Twin Otters to some local company........you all know which one! All Sabah and sarawak routes abandoned!
There's more! 2 other locals who appeared for the same interview got in and currently on training in SIM! Apparantly, these 2 clowns' daddys are MAS captains!
All this happening even after Idris Jala took over "mismanagement" from MAS.... to be " mismanaged " again! Wow well done Idris!
I wish my dad was a captain here.... then i can also get hired amidst the retrenchment process and route rationalisation!!!!!
L
one hell of a joke!

It may be a different circus but it's the same bunch of clowns.
Uphill battle all the way for Idris.
Nepotism, irresponsibility, non-accountability, blatant disregard for the future of MAS ...... all these have to be tackled before we can see any return to profitability.
Looks like it's every man for himself.
