Usman old chap, how about getting some off your facts straight, MAS is the premier airline in the country, the perks and salary at the end of the day is better. The guys who left had no choice, they were on contract ( no seniority number), they didnt want to leave , but our good old pal the general couldnt make up his mind wheater to keep them and hire them on permanent terms or to do away with them. The decision was left to the last minute, and the AAjob came along, so this guys took it. But given the chance they would be back in no time.

If MAS want to survive in the long term it better follow the advice of the Dep. PM to be lean and efficient just like AirAsia.
All this rot of being premier airline have got to go, that was the old days. The big fat pay and some of the perks have got to be trimmed across the board for MAS if it wants to survive.

usman,
your arguement is also talked about in the 'The True About the Big 6 U.S. Airlines?' fourm....but with respect to the us carriers.
we'll maybe see more bailouts if the attack on iraq lasts longer than expected.
Kwaiwai,
ru working with MFA....I have sent an application to join the MAS cadets.
cheers

National Carrier
From a network of local pilots and some ground staff in MAS
Usman my dear friend, let's not bicker about such trivial matters.After all the stats proved that AK have their own niche market & MH has theirs.
What we should realise is that AK managed to get Silk Air's parent company SQ, worried, so much so that they will launch a low cost carrier to compete!Now that's one up for us as a nation!
Malaysia Boleh!
Safe Flying All!

Usman,
Are you related to George Bush Jr., Tony Blair or John Howard?
You are just hell-bent on MAS as much as Bush on Iraq. Don't care whether your fact is right or just full of bull****.

Calm down ...
lesenterbang - could you be any less p.c.? Let's not get personal or you'll wake up Squidy.
PILOST - Yeah, but SIA are masters (or suckers?) for playing one-upmanship across the Straits. They'll be crowing Mahjullah Singapura before you know it

Chill Out!

Where does Air Asis conduct its crew training?
Where do they do the ground school/simulator training
Do they have their own instructors or does another airline/company conduct the training for them?
If they train there own crews, are they looking for instructors?
Thanks

AK do their sim in a simulator building belonging to Boeing.
MAS had since lost most of its assets, sold off to pay its debts.
In fact it is a company with virtually nothing, no planes no engineering buildings no catering, no nothing, only pilots cabin crew and supporting staff.

Usman and Co.
Interesting reading on this thread, Many years ago I used to work for an "outfit" on a Southern Hemisphere Island that an "ars.h...e" asset stripped as you are suggesting has happened to MAS leaving it with nothing but a name and slaves.
It went down the gurgler about 18mths ago leaving 16000 out of work plus all the contractors in the sh.....t!
Is this where MAS is headed or is the Govt. going to pick up the bill?

At the moment the government is picking up all the tabs at taxpayers and public funds expense.
They (the govt.) don't want to rock the boat yet till election time this year or next.
MAS have to pull out from its steep dive and shows its viability. Otherwise after the government win for the next 5 years, the airline will be trimmed down. That mean heads will roll and MAS will land in the gutter.
So MAS can only hope there is no wide scale ressesion, viral attacks worldwide or distruptions due to terrorist attacks as an aftermath of the Iraq war.

MAS Culture of the 3 Monkeys
MAS : Say nothing (don't talk politics), See Nothing (even though the big boss is ripping the airline) and Hear Nothing as long as I'm getting paid from the Tax-payers and Public Trust Funds.
I wonder the pilots there had any concience.
