MAS no hope anymore

Posted by kk123 > 2014-01-29 13:35 | Report Abuse

Mas is not too big too fail Like Citibank or merrill lynch or bank of America
In local context it's not maybank , cimb , tenaga , pbbank , or Telekom
Reason : we have airasia , and all the other airlines
So if it banruptcy just let it be ,, gov shldnt rescue it
But I like the hospitality of Mas they are better than any
Airasia is cheap but low on the people factor
I don't get it how Mas can lose money vs airasia unless their expenses or fuel cost is poorly manage

Agreed. I will miss its superb hospitality if it really close shop. None other airlines that I know can serve better than MAS. Its cabin crew hospitality is the best.

Some years ago I read from Edge MAS average employee remuneration is RM100K a year, a heavy burden for MAS to face to compete with airline like Air Asia and Malindo. Some people like low cost travel which Air Asia can offer.

Mas dont have to go that low to compete. Their specialty is in full service long haul airlines. Pelangi should take charge to compete with airasia.

MAS is a public listed company, but behaves like a govt department. MAS is full of dead-wood staff. In MAS, 3 workers doing the job of 1 worker in AirAsia! How to compete?

MAS needs to cut 1/3 to 1/2 its staff to hit the efficiency of AirAsia. But MAS is unable to do it because it operates like a govt dept.

Where gor same flying with Mas and Airasia. One time flying Airasia macam naik bas sangkut sangkut. Orang berebut tempat duduk. We cannot equate Mas with Airasia.

MAS wont die because your tax money used to keep it afloat forever.

Jaya Tiasa has experienced tremendous growth in its FFB production. However, the Oil Extraction Rate (OER) has been unimpressive hovering around 9-10% for the past few years, compared against industry average range of 18-22%. Improvement in OER will surely drive its profitability. Can someone with industry knowledge educate us on why Jaya Tiasa's OER is so low? Is it due to lack of palm oil mills or is it due to the fact that the fruit trees are relatively young?
