Hahahahahahaha, at first I though MAS are serious.
Until I see the fokker 50. It is not about the technology, but the total seats available.

If AirAsia doing the same in Day 1, Tony Fernandes will never make the fuel and passenger turnover. No matter how cheap the price of buying Fokker 50, it can never compete with the average cost per passenger.

And not to forget, when AirAsia 130-150 seating plane on the air, they get twice the income, by having 50% less airplane than firefly.

IMHO, this firefly is no different than typical MAS operating mindset.

I still think if MAS run by Tony Fernandes, it will make MAS better.

Hi Moo_T or is it Moorthy?
LOL...
Think again. Tony Fernandes
not Tony Bin Fernandes....
Will never be able to head NATIONAL AIRLINE.

I am proposing a takeover of a company, mired in RM2million debt....and their first question?
If the parties behind you are [ DELETED -- racist remarks ], we are not interested!

How lah to boleh?

instead of competing with other global big boys they go after airasia...very funny decision.

it is either they really losing money to airasia or they have no idea of how to compete with big boys.

tak sekolah punya budak buat decision

When MAS was operating the domestic routes they were making losses. Now making some money and before MAS financial position is stable... Now the nonsense FIREFLY... Another bailout in the near future????.... Why don't they stick to the "core" business instead of going into something which is so competitive... In low cost airlines, we talk about efficiency and productivity... Can FIREFLY do that... If they can, the management of MAS should apply them in MAS instead of wasting their time on two miserable Foker

Hah. I thought they wanted to clean up their act? What is the difference between firefly and the old way?

Budget airline needs people with do-or-die attitude. Not people who are so comfy with bailouts!

Talking about Fokkers, here's an old story:

A German and an American found themselves shipwrecked and sitting on a makeshift raft in the middle of the ocean. Just then an airplane flew by, and the German exclaimed, "Hey, that's a Fokker Friendship."

The American growled, "We ain't interested in your f**king friendship, we just wanna be f**king rescued!!!"

the comapny is known as Firefly

but oddly enough the official website is known as - http://www.fireflyz.com.my/

with a Z

z - usually signifies sleeping

even the website is NOT properly named

The introduction of turboprop aircraft to service smaller market segments/smaller towns is long overdue.
There should be similar service for Ipoh to KLIA and Senai, Kuantan to KLIA and senai. Firefly's idea to fly from Penang to all the major tourist spots in southern Thailand is brilliant but they have left out Krabi and bandar Aceh(a superb surfing paradise before the tsunami) and Lake Toba.
Licenses to operate airlines and other businesses such as radio stations/buses should be given to local businessmen in these smaller towns/cities instead of the big guys living in KL. Centralisation is bad for local businesses and efficiency. Indonesia is an example of centralisation that has failed as all major development is concentrated in just one city-jakarta.(same with thailand)
