Glad to see they have their priorities right at such a slack period.

If rich fat cats,officials and their doxy's could get free rides on decent Airlines like Singapore the whole company would be allowed to sink without trace AA does a fine job at the budget end.

Hard to imagine many queueing up to use them otherwise,the bomoh magician the conflicting statements.Even if the maker Viet ATC or terror was the flaw MH handling of the crisis has been awful.Times like this you realize SRT,KRAPO,NSA do better spin with policy wonks who can really polish turds.The MAestro being TAT.

Of course it is reassuring in a compassionate realm ruled by publc service and selfless attention to duty ,whatever the sacrifice of low salary and no fringe benefits,to know that such practices and incompetence could never happen here.
