A question for Air Asia Pilots
Would Air Asia Pilots care to answer why you guys never move up to the holding point line in KL?
Every time I taxi out behind you guys you stop a good 40 feet short of the holding point line and block the taxiway behind you, this might be ok if you were at the full length but it occurs when you use intersection departures and you block the main taxiway.
Please move up to the line, there is no reason not to.
You can stop with your radome 1 inch short of the line and that is OK.
It happens everytime I go through KL and it really annoys me, how's about you start thinking about other people too.
Rant over.

Sad but probably true.
there was a great line in the famous movie "the Battle of Britain" after a novice Pilot tried to land his Spitfire with the gear up.........."you could teach Monkeys to fly better than that"..........
Something about paying peanuts springs to mind too

Ok so not one Air Asia Pilot would care to explain why they do it.
So, effective immediately:
To: All Air Asia crew on the A320 and 737
From: The rest of the aviation community.
You are hereby requested to stop your Aircraft at the holding point line, and not to stop 40 feet behind it.
Thanks

Amen to that bro.
Interesting stuff, Must be something new at KL cos never saw it anywhere else I operate where they also do.
I notice though that recently 2 Thai Air Asia ahead of me seem to start takeoff run while and before the Pilot not Flying had finished reading back the Take Off clearance

I don't seem to bump into Air Asia in any other place but they probably do it everywhere.
I saw a Thai Air Asia in Sing call for Taxi whilst starting number 2 with the ground engineer still connected!! Now that was an interesting minute watching to see if he started to taxi or not
He'll get it wrong one day and run over the poor engineer.

Seen that too now you remind me. I think they are hoping ATC will hold up everyone for them so they get to the holdin point 1st or something

These airasia JACOONS are always blocking the taxiways and forever conducting non standard track shortening within the TMA that they have become a safety hazard to the rest of us. Now the fools in ATC KLIA think that heavies can join a 7 mile final while making a steep turn. NOW WONDER AIRASIA X failed their safty audit at BNE.
Buck up you airasia jackoons and follow the rules.
Wooblah.

bro......thats very far from the truth la. maybe can reconsider la....unless its a joke about the kiasu thing la. But operationally hmmm.
Did they fail the audit in BNE ? ( must be a "non pilot" issue )
Hmmn interesting. How bout the audits back here in KUL ?
But then again....I am pushing the envelope here.( mine at least ). No malice to our brothers at the side of them joysticks.
I am sure we would all find each others company quite good with the "right settings" and after a few sips of good brew!

The line pilots on AAsia is too busy flying,no proper FTL,rest requirements.While on the other hand,AAsia cadets show up at internet cafes in full uniform including epaulettes,wings and ties at the airport town of Nilai usually in a convoy 3~4 cars during lunch break to hit on the online games like "World of Kungfu".It is such a common sight that they draw no attention of the college girls even when 10 or 15 of them walking together.
When they say "Now everyone can fly", they were infact refering to the people in the cockpit!

ACMS, I retract my last about KLIA, Thai Asia did the same to us today at a Major Intl Airport, at least 40 feet. I will leave the rest to you to work out which one 
I allready no this one but who cares to tell me the Min wake sep for a 73 t.off behind a 74/400?

Dear Veloo,
I believe that would be commonly referred to as the royal salute.
And Fair pilot which pound did they let you out off.
I reiterate the point in question. airasia do constantly block taxiways, hence the following posts. And, ATC KUL does have a big problem as the left hand never knows what the right hand is doing. The flow control is atrocious as control, approach Nth/Sth to tower are in the dark. They seem to think that they are in a dense traffic environment when in fact the amount of traffic into KLIA is minimal when compared to FRA/AMS/LHR/JFK etc.
Perhaps instead of Teh Tarik experiments in space the government could better spend taxpayers money on sending the controllers overseas for some training and exposure in the real world !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wooblah
