All Generals a.k.a. Goondoos
Almost true, take the wait and see approach...
Aku ex-MAStake, thought I left the nonsence... but its the same here in Sing and Tell land... "Nepotism and cronyism truely part of Asia".
Gomen dunno where to put these end of the line people who don't know their a*se from their elbow ppl.
Agreed that there are people far more capable, but they are not as good as "brown-nosing" as these individuals.

777 way to go!

New wawa, bang, bang, roadshow was a hoot - not!. Nothing new, same nepotism, same, same, same. Can you plan a future at MESS, yes, but dont get married, have children, or do anything that might improve your lot in life; we may need to kacau you later for something - nothing! Snake oil is cheap, and easy to sell when the customer got nothing else to buy.
When you management care to listen to your people, you will here the discontent, the lack of direction and decision making by you, that is having a slow but devastating effect on the company. Your inspiration for improving moral is pathetic, and is no different from before. You are the same people as before, but different name.

Well it looked like the ''Shortie General'' had even come under the spell of the 'nasi kangkang' baited to him by the Talibans.
Well at least most all the old Taliban management pilots had been removed since the 911 incident. But there are one or two new one still at large in the high tower.
The Taliban latest strategy nowadays is to infiltrate the training department as instructors on the B744 and later to the rest of the fleet (some of them are already there on the lower fleet). As it is only here they can knock out the rest of the top regular guys with one of their kind.
Once the training department is in their hand the management pilots will be under their thumb.
The 'General' is still in a state of stupor after daily doses of the Taliban brew.
*Nota: 'Nasi Kangkang' is a magic portion of rice given by wives to their husband to make him listen to whatever she says. Basically she have to stand naked over a bowl of rice with incense burning whilst the 'bomoh' the black witch doctor reads the incarnations.
As for me I always wear my 'tangkai' a talisman to protect me from all these Talibans who is using black magic in the name of religion to achieve their 'ambition' as Masters of MAS.

Same sh!t in diferent form.
Dont worry. While MAS has religious freaks and nutcases out to screw the place for personal gain, atheists here have to put up with "Oficial Party Members" who are so close in methods and extremism to your moronic Taliban. The only diference being another similar ideology is used as the vehicle.

Word I got the other day, this is bigger than the taliban, with a small 't'. The DPM is not happy with this circus, and wants a few more clowns changed, and the circus operations increased dramatically. A funny little red & white outfit are proving that there is loads of loads out there, and margins to be made, but the stupified clowns of past and present are not moving with the the music. No one listens to the old TUNE now, so now the new TUNE takes hold, you need to change you're clowns...again, to keep up with the TUNE.

MAS had been CHEATING public by 100%
From The Star, Malaysia

AirAsia wants level playing field to compete with MAS
By CLARENCE CHUA
PETALING JAYA: AirAsia, which started its no-frills flights last year,
wants a “level playing field” to compete with Malaysia Airlines in the domestic market.
The airline is concerned that MAS, which slashed its fares for
jet-powered flights to local destinations, would eat into its profits
and cripple its operations.
“They are well-supported by the Government – their financial source is almost a bottomless pit.
“On the other hand, we in AirAsia are self-financed; some of us had to mortgage our homes to acquire the investments,” said its chief executive officer Tony Fernandes.
He added that for AirAsia to even start its flights to Miri in Sarawak was a “big thing” compared to MAS considering it just another destination.
The airline currently operates four Boeing 737-300s to seven
destinations that include Labuan, Penang, Kuching, and Kota Kinabalu from KLIA. A one-way ticket is priced from RM88 for all destinations except Labuan.
AirAsia uses Kota Kinabalu as its regional hub and MAS, said
Fernandes, was also trying to coax the Sabah government to allow it to use the city as its hub.
“They (MAS) have 14,000 seats, we have only 3,000 seats available. They have 18 flights a day to Kuching, we have four planes,” he told The Star.
The national carrier recently introduced a SuperSaver scheme which provides 50% discounts to travellers on all domestic economy-class fares – with the frills.
“It is ironic that MAS was previously pushing for higher fares. Would they have slashed their fares if AirAsia did not introduce the no-frills flights?” asked Fernandes, adding that since MAS started its low-cost fares, bookings on AirAsia had dropped by 40%.
AirAsia does not serve free refreshments and tickets are issued on a first come first served basis.
“If MAS wants to provide free seats, no problem. But it has to be on level playing terms. This means their funding has to be right.
“They stated that they are losing RM300mil to RM400mil on domestic services a year. Who is funding them? If we go out of business, they become a monopoly. Is that good for competition? Would they revert to higher fares or will their fares remain?” he asked.
Fernandes said that AirAsia officials would meet Ministry of Transport officials to seek clarification on the MAS programme as it looked like it was designed to wipe out AirAsia.
MAS officials, when contacted, declined to comment.

Con Ni Chiwa...
I dont understand MAS. Few months ago asked the government for the rights to increase fares. Got the OK and increased the fares, much to the displeasure of the travelling public. Then AAsia came in with the low fares thing..wonderful for the travelling public, especially those flying to SSB..good for national integration..and so on. With their little fleet, AAsia was doing well. MAS felt threatened (in effect MAS neednt worry as AAsia's too small) and reacted accordingly by slashing fares by some 50%, negating the fare increase that they sought not so long ago. I think MAS has bigger worries (their own management) than AAsia and also by doing this has jeopardised the rice bowl of its own staff and the company's own well being. MAS is bullying and is using unfair pratices to stamp out competition (in this case AAsia isnt even considered competition). MAS, if you want to be the sole provider of the service, be good, be fair.
Hmm..we do we go from now??......Sayonara.

MAS confusing the Public
Yes there is a lot of confusion in the MAS saga. That is the idea of the power that be.
Last 1st quarter they lost 800 over millions and after the re-restructuring they claim to have lost only 300 plus million. It looks like even their accountant cannot count anymore.
Just read about it in ''Airline Airport and Routes'' in Ground Operation Forum.
