There sure are plenty of them going around.
The sad thing is, they would look like geniuses compared to the previous MAS management and even quite a few politicians there

Quoting lijnden (Reply 24): The MH tripple-7's are done. There is no after market for them and they will be scrapped. |
They won't be the youngest to get scrapped also.
Quoting bill142 (Reply 26): Quoting factsonly (Reply 25):
They're currently flight a route similar to KUL-DXB-LXR-LHR but that only adds about 750 miles. Seems pretty drastic. I think there's a security threat and they're trying not to cause alarm given recent events. |
Drastic indeed if they are pushing the aircraft to the limits to that extent.
Maybe they should weigh pax (a 120kg human without luggage weighs the plane down more than a 60kg human with even 30kgs of luggage), or, block off rows of seats but still allow pax to bring their usual baggage entitlement?
Perhaps some regulars will go elsewhere if their luggage will be an issue?
And how will the luggage arrive later - on what flight?
They are probably just being extra cautious after MH17.
Quoting TC957 (Reply 27): It would soon get out on social media, and then quite likely the lovely Daily Mail ( NOT ) that airline xxx is flying " old MH planes that disappear ". |
One did indeed disappear - coming up to two year ago... Still missing...
FWIW the search for MH370 is expected to end in June 2016.
Quoting UA444 (Reply 28): There is nothing inherently wrong with ex-MH planes |
Something *could* have been wrong with 9M-
MRO but that one won't be on the market.
