AirAsia shouldn’t delay to terminate all its agreements with MAS

It is only fair that AAX should also return its Sydney route to MAS. Pic: 4th from left, YB Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz, the chairman of AAX Sdn Bhd

“Low-cost carrier AirAsia Bhd wants to opt out of all joint-venture agreements with national carrier Malaysia Airlines (MAS), a source says. AirAsia decided at a board meeting last week that it would seek to terminate its agreements with MAS soon, according to the source, in HERE.

The above statement was a joke of the century! AirAsia (AA) is in no position to be so arrogant. It got to where it is today because it was spoon fed by the Badawi’s administration. Within a short span of time, LCCT was built almost exclusively for AirAsia.

From 2002 to 31-3-2008 AA owed MAHB for services and airport tax totaling RM110 million in HERE.

In 2004 LCCT was built by the Badawi’s Government at a cost of about RM87 million and in 2008 LCCT was renovated at a cost of about

  1. Agree AA should immediately terminate all its agreemnts with MAS especially the Re-accommodation agreement to uplift its 35,000 passengers at very low cost fares. Just imagine fare to London cost RM1,111!

    AJ look for a way out to terminate the RA as it is not in the best interest of MAS. MAS is definitely lost money to uplift the 35,000 passengers. Wake up clueless AJ.

    The incompetent and belligerent leadership

    of Mat najib is clearly bursting at the seams

    when we see how MAS is allowed to degenerate

    into a laughing stock ‘zimbabwe-class’ airline.

    Look all the money wasting effort-sponsoring

    a club on the verge of relegation [to the

    coca-cola championship] , helping to undertake

    passengers for profit-making Air Asia at

    a great loss to itself and loosing valuable customers

    at the same time.

    Wow, it does not speak well at all what kampong -minded

    Mat Najib can actually deliver as a chief

    executive of 1- Malaysia!

    And to overpay Mat Jo 0.25 million MYR monthly is a gross

    overpayment of the man’s ablity and competence. I doubt if

    his last salary is within 20 per cent of his current salary.

    It would reasonable to expect that if a man is paid MYR 0.25

    million/mo he would bring in at least 20 times that amount

    of profit to the company/mo !

    It would appear that an effort is made to drive the valuation

    of Mas share to a couple of dimes is made thru the series of

    planned blundering decisions. A belligerent attitude towards

    managing national assets…. The last time the Malaysia leadership

    was deemed belligent , it resulted in the devaluation of the MYR!

    At least that was the comment of Alan Greenspan the Fed chief soon after

    our currency collapsed.

    .

    Is this a national progression of the rot from the top

    that Madey had been saying..

    Dolah Mat Mata layu took for himself the Mas Catering.

    So does these series of belligerent actions mean

    that Najib is taking Mas minus the Catering division?

    A second currency devaluation would be imminent if country

    continues to carry on with these belligerent management style.

    The landed assets had presumably been distributed ..

  3. Alhamdulilah!!!!!! I hope that AA and the Pariah will terminate all the agreements with MAS especially the Re-accommodation agreement charging low low cost fares to fly premier airline. Kalau si Pariah adalah anak jantan, batal RA degan MAS dengan segera.

    The Sleepy AJ please wake up and stop allowing the Pariah to treat MAS like shit. You are the worst CEO MAS ever had. Other previous CEo may not be good but at least they have stood up against the Pariah.

    Look at Idris Jala, he withdrawn all privilege for the Pariah to fly MAS. Only the Sleepy AJ is still allowing the pariah to take advantage of MAS after the share suap was reversed.

    How MAS going to be well when you are a Sleepy CEO and Adviser at the same time. Both are on gaji buta!

  4. Aj why are you waiting for now. Since the pariah wants to terminate the joint venture agreements with MAS. just say yes and at the same time terminate all the other agreements too. Terminate the RA immediately and see whether the big mouth Pariah can still talk. They will get an immediate headache.

    AJ please be the CEO of MAS and not just a kuncu of the pariah. Terminate the RA now. Get rid of the botak Azhari the few left over of the pariah’s kuncu.

  5. Since pariah is calling it a day with MAS then MAS shouldn’t waste more time with them. Throw out the AA remnant in MAS like Azhari Dahlan, Nor Zalida Ahmad.

    Cancel the RA with AAX. Left them go and look for another airline that can give them the extreme low fares like to London cost only Rm1,100.

    Aj you shouldn’t have signed such an agreement in the first place. May be you are too busy travelling to London and back.

  6. As I have stated in an earlier posting regarding the depature of Danny, again it is time for a gentle reminder for MAS staff not to be overly “celebratory” if it is true that AA wants to end all “collaborations” with us. Let us pause to ponder what has happened these 11 months. Let us evaluate objectively what the last 11 months have done to us. At the risk of sounding dramatic, it is reasonable to believe that , now, more than any other time in our history, MAS is extremely vulnerable , fragile and weak. Our former collaborators are now our competitors again, but this time, with a very HUGE and potentially fatal (to MAS) difference – AA had access to, and was privy to, all MAS’s trade secrets , practices and strategies, even the pre-booking status for all sectors for at least 300 days ahead , its pricing strategies, and through PlaneConsult and the other consultants swarming around, all operational information as well. It is safe to state that they know all our strengths and all our weaknesses. We are laid bare. Unless AJ and team, even the BoD, have new ideas and strategies to play the new game in a totally new playing field, we are dead in the water. From our observations of recent developments , from the change of flight slots to Beijing and HongKong, and even with the rather over-hyped but under-delivered introduction of the A380, we are left with the distinct impression that it is all very stale. The much touted “game changers” in the Business Plan remain hypotheses that have yet to be translated into workable, realistic action plans. There still is no organisation structure in place that is designed to drive the Business Plan (which btw is stale as well, but what the heck). As for the “foundations” to drive the Business Plan, termed “Winning Organisation” , based on the development of the people, the continuous improvement initiatives, talent identification and development etc, all people related, what have we seen so far? The HC division, tasked with spearheading this, is busy with their own internal “reorganising” which of course will result in more promotions for its own people, and the sustained in-breeding, will undoubtedly assure us of one thing which will result – NOTHING. The total exit of AA is merely the end of an “infection”, but the internal cancer remains rampant, prevalent throughout the organsation, and unless major curative treatment options are quickly adopted, MAS will meet its inevitable end.

  7. Legal minefield laid within all the collaboration agreements!

    YB,

    I believe there are very real issues affecting the process of terminating all the collaborative agreements that will cost MH dearly without swift intervention by the government. The architects to these agreements must be brought back to unwind the relevent clauses failing which the full force of the law must be brought to bear on them. The MH & Tune Air BODs, Khazanah & the MOT must be held responsible.

    If not, its going to take an eternity & that would spell doom for MH.

  8. what the hell is happening with mas. i’m leaving the company but i hate to see mas in such a sorry state . i’ve known a lot of good and honest people working their ass up in mas . although i hate tony but on the positive side i wish our CEO is more like him , aggressively defending his company. come on aj , you should be aggressively and passionately defending MAS against airasia , i really hate to see mas being push around by airasia and bloggers as it was just too embarrassing. Nowadays mas had been a laughing stock in the aviation industry . mas really need a stronger leader to pilot it away from the storm.

  9. AJ is either too blind or too short to see all this….or maybe he is just too stupid for anything!!

  10. MAS does not need any AA croonies to sit in as MAS BOD. So now the Pariah TF is talking, shud have got all your arse out of MAS long time ago. AJ, it’s time that you and all the rest of Pariah TF croonies leaves MAS. The longer you a.se holes stay in MAS the more money MAS will loose.

  11. Aj is not only short. He is short sighted. He couldn’t see anything except his mentor, the pariah. Just ask around, no CEO of any other airline would sign the RA to uplift the 35000 AAX passengers with such low cost fares. MAS was made to relieve the burden of AAX and then rewarded the Pariah with he Sydney route.

    Now the Pariah can talk big. AJ, how could you be so stupid or you pretended to be stupid to look after the Pariah. NEVER SEEN A THICK SKIN GUY LIKE AJ IN MY LIFE.

  12. AJ, examine the RA with AAX. Find way and mean to terminate it as it is not in the best interest of MAS to proceed as it will cause MAS to uplift AAX passengers with such low cost fares unheard of in the market.

    Only the clueless idiot will agree to sign such a RA. Wake up AJ you are CEO of MAS not AAX. Don’t pretend to be stupid.

    Please answer what GE Man has said in his comments regarding the proceedings in the Tender Board of a few days ago.

    What an idiot.

  13. I cannot understand what are the unions doing ?
    |Scare of those suckers. Use the people force to get rid of those who made your life miserable.
    Actions actions speaks louder then words.
    MAS bleeding but male cabin crew already changed to new uniform ?
    Those suckers will suck MAS dried before they got kicked out .

  14. Ahmad Judi

    This is the mentality of our topLESS Management. Their shallow mentality is: changing logo, changing uniform, new organisational charts and more Business Plans will turn around MAS. This was how they have been doing things in MAS.

    Further, that clueless idiot also thought that by giving away profitable routes to Bandung, Sydney and Haneda on a silver platter to the Pariah, was part of his turning around plan. How stupid can one be.

    I don’t mind being paid RM250k a month for doing all these stupid things and the same times be little the graded staffs of being of low productivity.

    Mr Clueless, you are one of the major deadwood in MAS.
