This happens when the MD makes promises and does not deliver.Staff has lost their faith in him. He and the whole management team should leave Mas.
Read Malaysia Today. The story is full of facts.

Looks like it's getting worse:
MAS lewat, Zam antara terkandas

PUTRAJAYA 27 Julai – Para penumpang Penerbangan Malaysia (MAS) dari Lapangan Terbang Sultan Mahmud di Kuala Terengganu ke Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa KL (KLIA), Sepang terpaksa menunggu lebih dua jam sebelum dibenarkan menaiki pesawat MAS.

Menteri Penerangan, Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin merupakan antara 139 penumpang MAS yang terkandas di lapangan terbang itu selama dua jam 17 minit berikutan kelewatan pesawat syarikat penerbangan tersebut tiba dari Kuala Lumpur.

Airlines should be making money based on reputation, branding, efficiency and excellent service and not just cutting costs all the time. If cutting cost is a long term strategy, then we might as well let Tony Fernandez run MAS!

My sympathies are with you, Maverick.

MAS = Major Asshole Service.

Sorry to be pedantic, but doesn't being 67% on time only makes MAS a 1 sigma company and not a 3 sigma company?

KUALA LUMPUR 29 Julai – Enam penerbangan domestik dan luar negara Malaysia Airlines System Berhad (MAS) terlewat lagi hari ini. Kelewatan tersebut dikatakan berpunca daripada masalah teknikal yang dihadapi pesawat-pesawat syarikat penerbangan nasional itu.

Tinjauan wartawan Utusan Malaysia, AU YEONG HOW mendapati penerbangan MH1168 yang dijadualkan berlepas dari Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa KL (KLIA) pada pukul 10.10 malam ke Pulau Pinang mengalami kelewatan paling ketara iaitu selama dua jam 50 minit.

Ini diikuti penerbangan MH74 ke Hong Kong yang hanya berlepas pada 8.05 malam sedangkan ia sepatutnya meninggalkan KLIA pada pukul 6.45 petang.

Selain itu, para penumpang bagi penerbangan MH198 ke Hyderabad, India terkandas di KLIA selama lebih sejam ekoran masa berlepas diubah dari 10.25 malam ke 11.40 malam.

Penerbangan MH180 yang dijadualkan bertolak ke Madras, India pada 8.30 malam terjejas sedikit dengan kelewatan selama 15 minit.

Kesemua penerbangan tersebut dijadualkan berlepas dari KLIA ke destinasi masing-masing.

Sementara itu, jadual penerbangan bagi pesawat-pesawat MAS yang tiba di KLIA hari ini turut tidak terkecuali daripada masalah kelewatan.

Mengikut rekod penerbangan KLIA, pesawat MH353 dari Kunming, China sepatutnya tiba di KLIA pada pukul 5.50 petang.

Bagaimanapun, rekod ketibaan pesawat terbabit menunjukkan ia hanya dijadualkan tiba pada 12 tengah malam ini.

Pesawat MH753 dari Ho Chin Minh City, Vietnam pula hanya dijangka tiba di KLIA pada pukul 9.40 malam selepas penerbangan ditangguhkan selama dua jam 35 minit.

So the Senators are calling for Idris to be sacked. I thought someone said he's the best CEO that money could buy?

Another flip-flop by UMNO?

Doc, now I suspect they cancelled the your MH2504 because not enough people on board. And they are packing passenger on board of MH2596.

If I am not mistake, some smart-aleck consultant including IJ himself try to imitate Air Asia "packed flight" to reduce cost, with "their way".

We need some "little bird" to confirm this.

To be a good lenient being is to procure a kind of openness to the mankind, an gift to trusteeship unsure things beyond your own restrain, that can govern you to be shattered in unequivocally exceptional circumstances as which you were not to blame. That says something remarkably outstanding with the prerequisite of the righteous autobiography: that it is based on a trust in the fitful and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a plant than like a jewel, something fairly feeble, but whose extremely item attraction is inseparable from that fragility.
