lj, agree with you. we pilots tend to be big headed and think the world about ourselves but seldom realise we had the rug pulled from under our feet until too late. the management types with lousy maths and science score normally do the law, commerce or admin courses. it doesn't matter if the barely passed but with our ketuanan policies in place they breeze into management position and screw everything up. their screw ups are easily overlooked by their patrons as long as they keep the techies ( pilots, lames, etc ) in line with their f**k up terms and conditions, policies, industrial practices and so on and so forth.

Reflecting on the recent MAS/Air Asia farce of a merger, I fear what the 2 dfos will do to " streamline " operations. Will pilots again be the sacrificial lambs? Will commonsense be toss out the window? Waht will the management pilots do to please those turds who are their patrons?

Brings to mind what was on post #26 :


I remember telling him that he should seek to be in the management, he replied that he feared that he would be made a tool by the management to screw fellow pilots
Small wonder why a lot of good, sensible blokes refuse to be management types!

Excuse me Gentlemen, may I do a question why is MAS looking for expat pilots both Captains and F/O? Sounds very estrange...

Thanks in advance!

Very true, heard from an old timer that this had been the case ever since hassan ahmad took over as dfo from jack byrd. This is a real malaise that afflicts all aspects of Malaysian life:{

What to do.....the system is such. The good guys understand that the flight ops management is a circus and to get involved in it will drag them down the abyss. So you only have fruitcakes like the camel, the pigmy/toady and the likes aspiring to be the top dog.

During my time at MAS in the early 90s, I met with quite a number of very capable, even exceptional pilots. Sadly most are of the non native stock and they were sidelined except for a few toadies. Subsequently I heard a lot of them left for CAL, KAL and the sandpit. With this talent drain, it's small wonder MAS flight ops sank in terms of credibility and competence. I met a Chinese Malaysian pilot, a muslim convert who aspired for great things but had such dodgy understanding of basic performance that I shuddered at what he could have messed up if he ever got to head the flt ops tech services. This was an example of the type of toadies who remained in MAS.

MAS dfos
 
In my time there I have never seen a greater fruitcake like the camel abu baker. Prior to that we had some dato who was clueless but the camel was a real piece of doo-doo. I hope you guys have better ones since I left.:ok:

Kal Niranjan 13th Sep 2011 02:47

Dato' K was clueless because he fell under the spell of some low life know as gstring! This piece of work got the dfo to help him set up an audit empire, sly enough though in getting some lost turk to helm it but he was milking the dept.

Vel Paar 15th Sep 2011 22:29

I joined MAS during dato k's time and he was indeed pathetic with his retinue of hanger ons. That's the time the rat, the ex mapa prez guru singh, zero zero 1, zul, and a whole bunch of clowns ran riot with their turf grabbing, throwing caution to the wind. Little did they realise that the camel was collecting ammunitions to blast them out later leading to 2 years of utter darkness.

mokham 23rd Sep 2011 00:30

I heard the fruitcake camel was denied a contract by the pigmy but zuraidi offered him one after he took over. The low life you guys gripe about is in air asia x; now has anybody got dirt on this scum?

That must be " more-ham-on-his-head-to-go"! Another pia ; I remember he and his team of bankstown trained fruitcakes trying to make a name for themselves as they ventured into MAS misadventures into Myanmar and Cambodia where they connived to screw their seniors' flying hours so that they can leapfrog over them onto the B777. What a bunch of a***holes!

His argument to the DCA inspector, my captain had used real Jeppesen charts for the " approach briefing " and " primary reference ". The hand drawn chart was only an " aid de memoire ". So the DCA inspector accepted the pass after a lengthy argument. I was indeed very grateful that the " cinapek " stood his ground eventhough THAT WAS HIS own TRE CHECK SIMULATOR SESSION! Thinking back it was amazing but at that point I was mighty glad it was all over and we passed. I was sure my captain must had been very relieved; however he never really show anything.
Hassan, was your fellow checkee skipper hamidi by any chance? I heard of that incident over 16 years ago when the DCA examiner had already joined flying for MAS in MYY!

DCA examiner......could it have been capt. syed zainal?
Last edited by MMBenar; 11th May 2011 at 22:30.
I finally met a MAS vet who had some recollection of this matter....the checkee was hamidi, the DCA Examiner was Capt. Razali. Capt Zul Noah was somehow involved in some capacity; it's a long time ago and it seems that it wasn't that dramatic.

What ever happened to the only non pilot, a Dr Don, who was DFO for a number of years in the 1990s? I thought he did the heroic thing of taking the former chairman Tajuddin to court for corruption. What ever happened to that legal case?

MT article/cooments about something on this thread?
 
I had a fleeting glimpse of something connected to this thread on MT a few days ago but when I return to it later today I couldn't find it. Maybe someone might have seen it and able to retrieve the article or comments; a little bit internet challenged to be able to do it myself!:O:O:O

Sampan Angkasa 26th Oct 2011 05:38

Diwali Mubarak Ho!

I think you are referring to some comments made on an MT article; here is the link which I reckon you are looking for :


Not talking about the budget

Kal Niranjan 27th Oct 2011 09:43

Aacha young man, dhanyavad! Did you have to retrieve it from the archives? Just trying to figure it out:O

MMBenar 30th Oct 2011 21:09

Looking at the dearth of replies, the cojoneless ones are wont to have anything to do with MT. Most of the fellas are jibby clones in many ways!

Those bankstown bunch must have been consisted of the one who nearly put the landing gears through the wings on an OZ B777 in BKK some years ago; not forgetting the other lunatic who gave hell to some of his former f/os with police reports after police reports with insane claims of terrorism. There must be mercury spillage from some silver water plants having seeped into the drinking water in bankstown to produce pieces of work like those!
