Too many of us try to appear too cool and made it look so easy that a lot of non flying folks who happened to be on the jumpseats think that flying is like a walk in the park! I have some guys making snide remarks that flying is so easy, that's why only a mere MCE/SPM is required for entry into MAS cadetship!

Langkasuka, the source of data used by the guys creating the simulation make for interesting read. I wonder how reliable was the data even allowing for the fact that the tragedy was some 33 years ago. The timeline coordination of FDR with ATC transcript from both Lumpur control and SIN radar printouts almost totally not done. Purely FDR data may not give the full picture.

In slightly over a fortnight, it will be the 33rd anniversary of this tragedy. looking forward to see the cabin crew department lay their wreath at the memorial plague at the training school. Wonder if mapa will be represented at all?

33rd anniversary of this tragedy this week. Back on leave in the vicinity of Mt Ophir and I guess I will make the trip to the crash site to check out the " spooky " stories that surfaced after the accident. I am sure the Malay language tabloids had run many stories about spooky going ons around the crash site.

Ya, prayers of rememberance and best wishes to the families as they move on following such a big tragedy. I am sure all fellow aviators will hold the crew in good memory knowing that the tragedy marked a blot in our history, not only due to the tragic event but also what followed after that.

Sympathies with the victims' families and hope that they will have closure soon. Looks like my impression of MAS people has gone done the drain. What a bunch of yellow bellies and inconsiderates!

Hello bunga, using the perceived insensitive and derogatrory " k " word is biadab! Capt. Ganjoor deserve our respect and goodwill; many of our fellow Malaysians had attested to his fine qualities; so I urge you to refrain from your bigoted and incendiary comments in this thread.

Sadly disappointing
As an occasional reader of the SEA forum, it's indeed disheartening to see the apathy and utter disregard for the memories of the unfortunate crew of this tragic flight. I used to be acquainted with the former MAS Director of Flight Operations Jack Byrd and I do follow MAS affairs with more than passing interest. I wonder what happened to the values of camaraderie and human pilot values when Jack left the scene.

Well you see, it is brainless twits like bunga that has caused the deterioration of standards in the moral, cultural and intellectual expansion of a vibrant country such as Malaysia. Their myopic views and ability to squander the countries resources are the things legends are made off. Kudos Bunga and cohorts. Hope your ancestors enjoy life in their caves in the years to come.
Wooblah.

Call yourself CAPTAIN? Podah, you are CAPTAIN at spreading rumours and lies about Dato Guru and Tony Fernandez!
Didn't your distant ancestors enjoy life in the caves too ? Or are you an alien transplant...sheeesh!

Lies?
I have made my own enquiries into the character you called dato or gstring after coming across this thread; I find that he is indeed a piece of work. It is amazing that he has some apologists and brown nosers amongst your ranks.

Wooby, I guess you had a brain fart writing about bunga's ancestors enjoying life in the caves " in years to come ", so bunga was hitting you on that.
Learnt from some friends that the bai has surrogates trolling the fora; the modus operandi is the same. Get surrogates to sing praises for him, pillory others and threaten those who stood up to him. All bai **** we only know too well!
