agree.
additionally, profit maximization always shortlived… go for wealth instead. And wealth comes in many forms, as you said, quality, reliability, image and so on, which I m sure those experts can provide you with. Long ago, I used to hear someone said.. “those products that you see advertised are always the ones that are not selling.. compared to some, few low profile, now and then advertised”. Maybe it true in a way.
p/s: Im not sure, maybe it’s me.. but I see that the cabin crews, most of them, are not like how they used to be i.e drop dead gorgeous :)

Singapore Airlines now has two low cost carriers one for regional and the other is for international to tap profits from low cost travelers. MAS should act fast to turn Firefly into into low cost carrier to put at same level of competition with Air Asia..

Question are:

Why national contracts that by right and should be enjoyed by MAS has gone to Air Asia lately? such as PBB / Malcom to transport soldiers to troubled countries.

Why Visa issued by Immigration mentioned Air Asia X is one of the carriers besides MAS and airline of the migrant worker countries are allowed to carry the workers into Malaysia. Air Asia X is a Sdn Bhd belonged to individuals.

Have we forgotten during the initial establishment of Air Asia they took over the Sabah / Sarawak rural services under the name of Fly Asian Express (FAX) now Air Asia X.. After they got the firm footing on other domestic routes they abandoned the social obligation / contract to the interior people of Sabah / Sarawak and handed the rural services back to the Government with the ten units of Fokker 50′s in bad shape and not airworthy. MAS was forced to take back and clean the shit left over by Air Asia and spent RM40 Million to bring back the aircraft to the sky.

There are other hidden agendas yet to come to surface that caused MAS to loss millions in revenue. Who is / are culprits responsible to all these sabotages they should brought to face the music for treasoning the national carrier.

Layman on the street simply throw negative remarks to MAS over the loses because they do not know the real scenario. Some people suggested MAS should learn from Air Asia. Now here what can MAS learn from Air Asia? if MAS is a low cost carrier then may be. The prove is MAS was making profits before the existence of Air Asia and Khazanah Nasional.

In order to achieve high profit Air Asia has created a lot of problems to MAB on the KLIA-2.

Let us join hand to bring back MAS to its glorious day.

If you didn’t force both MH and FY the cabin crews to Golden Lounge, you wouldn’t have this shortage at all. Go and save your cost, screw the crews, and see who’s hurting in the end.

Ayo let them do their job. Is MAS the only issue in town. What about low salaries, high costs of housing, high cost of food , cars. education,children bashing,beggars on the streets, dirty streets,rude drivers, etc etc. Ayo lok at tese issues lah…MAS die also will not affect the country,just make anothr airline. Solve the basic issues first.

Roti Jala:

By your argument that MAS has been poorly managed for the past 15 years, then why does Idris Jala still has a job spinning stories for the gomen ? Why does Tengku Azmil still have a job as ED of Khazanah ? What about the succession of chairmen of MAS like Md Nor Idrus and others ? They are getting into more and more senior positions, when they should be cold-storaged.

What the point of having the Slumber Jack as the sleeping Advisor of MAS? What a waste of good money to maintain the Slumber Jack! With so many things happening in MAS after the share suap and the nonsense done by the Pariah, there was not even a word from the Slumber Jack.

Another liability/Panamera Deadwood in MAS.

Obsession to some, social obligation to many.
The public money wasted could be better spent on the poor.

“This is the fourth in a decade after WAU, Business Turnaround 1 and Business Transformation 2. The same people who crafted WAU are back hammering out a share swap without proper due diligence and based merely on “judgment call” instead.

Had they put in place a long-term plan then, would MAS be in this state? The new team “has taken a short-term view of MAS when they should have engaged with the experts from within to get to the root of the problem as the 2012 Business Plan does not address that.
MAS’ poor showing can be attributed to three factors; lack of good leadership management, people management and cost management in the last 15 years.”
