But then, nothing like this happened on my flights.<BR/><BR/>I agree that the 25% discount thingy is insulting and ridiculous! I'd like to see how their PR machine try to parlay this into something positive! Good luck to them.<BR/><BR/>But the reality of this is scary: is this how they would react to real danger as well? What if this guy were voilent? Or had a weapon? Would they still have shunted out the attack-ee and smiled at him??!<BR/><BR/>Oi, Idris, time to send your lientenants undercover on flights and see what is realling happening 'on the ground/air?'!!<BR/><BR/>PatPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795820209657289652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880642673087161290.post-234920496127355832009-01-25T19:05:00.000+08:002009-01-25T19:05:00.000+08:00Mana Ada Sistem Airlines should be ashamed of itse...Mana Ada Sistem Airlines should be ashamed of itself and the conduct of its staff.<BR/><BR/>This is what happens when meritocracy is abandoned and substituted with doctrinaire employment policies.<BR/><BR/>Surely the person who insulted Radhika Iyer was a Malaysian Muslim. The failure to arrest and charge him in court for his threatening and racist behaviour is yet another sign of the double standards practised in our glorious nation!!<BR/>http://donplaypuks.blogspot.comDonplaypuks®https://www.blogger.com/profile/14885751307558636916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880642673087161290.post-79996179373994072422009-01-25T07:29:00.000+08:002009-01-25T07:29:00.000+08:00Mr Bojangles, I was quite shocked that they would ...Mr Bojangles, I was quite shocked that they would offer a measley 25% discount. It's quite presumptuous of them to think she'd want to fly MAS again.<BR/><BR/>If monetary compensation could make up for some of the trauma she went through, they should have offered to pay for her entire trip back on business class.<BR/><BR/>Idris can take the circus to town. But if his team is miserably pathetic as evidenced, who'd want to patronise MAS??<BR/><BR/>Mesti Ada Style is getting old.Cranksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466770053258278747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8880642673087161290.post-23863310385316801912009-01-25T07:26:00.000+08:002009-01-25T07:26:00.000+08:00Thanks Antares, but why?

Try saying "boobs" in, around,near an airport, much less a plane, and see the whole tone-deaf US Airborne Division get the chance to act out their movie fantasies.<BR/><BR/>No 2: in situations where one party is obviously disadvantaged: elderly, sick, female, the crew should automatically favor them not the stronger.<BR/><BR/>So, on both counts our Great Malaysian Hospitality failed. And to add insult to injury, they offer, in typical Malaysian fashion, monetary compensation and a paltry amount to boot. "Have a problem? Here, take this money, go buy yourself an ice cream and don't bother us anymore."<BR/><BR/>And so, while Idris is going great guns at the corporate level, his foot soldiers have obviously let him down. <BR/><BR/>False smiles, sexy uniforms, perfectly coiffured hair mean nothing when you fail the crunch test. Or to put it another way, Mesti Ada Style is no longer the only way to go.
