Comment on AirAsia did not meet regulatory standard? by Anonymous

Playing chicken with the authorities again. They must be thinking that the DCA would not dare cancel their permit if they did not manage to fix the problems by mar2013. They will use the angry voices to their advantage when the time comes.

In any case, isn’t is typical of them selling think air.

“Maybe Airbus and ST Aerospace Engineering are better qualified to comment authoritatively on these issues than laypeople with their 5 sen worth of instant fame!”

And still, the only thing toni’s cyberpoopers can do here in trying to divert public attention from AirAsia’s AOC certification concerns is by harping MAS-this, MAS-that, over and over again, that too by switching from one pseudonym to another. is this the best measure toni’s cyberpooper can come up with?

kudos Retired Airliner for your thoughts.

AA still selling tickets after March 2013 eventhough they officially have no AOC on that period. Committee on False and Misleading Advertisement under Domestic Trade Ministry are still keeping quiet although the law (Fine of RM5000 and jail up to 3 years) are already in place.

Good show for the new Datuk Bandar for being magnamous is admitting the weaknesses of DBKL. I hope that he will take the necessary actions to redress the problems.

@Adam, Anon 10:55 and Kriskingle,

I think after having spent 36years in the airline engineering does make me a qualified person to comment on airworthiness and safety. I suspect some of the commentators here of are similar to me.

But the issue at hand is not about being a qualified person or not. I do not believe the issue is at all about MH. Nor is it about the financial performance of Air Asia or MH. So lets not detract the discussion by bringing in these side issues. Having followed the discussion, I also do not detect any complaints to warrant the call to buy our own planes.

It is about an airline meeting the safety standards for it to operate.

In this case, the entire air travelling population are all equally qualified to have their opinion on the matter.

When a person buys a product or a service, the minimum expectation is that the product functions or the service meets the specifications promised. That is why we have the competent authorities to determine that these products or services meet the set standards or expectations of the consumer. If they do not meet the specifications, then there are specific remedies available. Lets also remove race and politics out of this discussion.

In an airline, irrespective of whether it is a full service carrier or a low cost carrier, the world accepts that at the minimum a passenger can expect to be safely carried from point A to point B in a reasonable level of comfort.

Yes if an airline does not meet the minimum safety standards, then the AOC would be immediately suspended or even revoked. In simple terms, the airline is no longer safe to fly. When an airline has its AOC only extended for 6 months, the authority must have found lapses in its operations that if remain uncorrected, would cause the airline operations to degrade to a level where the airline is no longer safe to fly.

It is unreasonable for the travelling public to personally audit the airline to determine whether it is safe to fly but it it is reasonable for the travelling public to expect that an airline is safe to fly. So it is reasonable for the travelling public to expect the airline to meet the safety standards and the relevant authorities to police these standards. If the safety endorsement of the local authority is challenged or is not accepted by the other authorities in other countries, then the airline will not be allowed to fly in these countries’ airspace. I think we have seen this happen recently to our neighbour.

I am confident that Air Asia will remedy those lapses in order to regain its AOC.

But the fact that it has come to this stage does concern an aviation safety expert and air travellers alike. I do not believe that an air traveller can expect a lower safety standard from a low cost carrier. The minimum safety standards must be met at all times. But in this age of cost efficiency, the lines of the safety standards are significantly lower then yesteryear. In the old days, the maxim of to err on the side of caution seems to be tha mantra of all those involved. These days of walking the tighrope, a small miscalculation or indiscretion, can have catastrophic consequences.

In the end, it is the travelling public who has to decide whether they are comfortable with the safety standards of Air Asia. But remember it was Tony who said “I know Malaysians, give them low fares, they are willing to risk their lives…..”

Thank you YB. It is so refreshing to know that at last DBKL has found a place for the Pasar Larut Uptown in Danau Kota. We have been suffering for years. What a relief. While we know that it was not YB who brought the Pasar Larut to Danau Kota. We do appreciate the persistence of YB to get the Pasar larut to be relocated. We hope that it will be done as soon as possible. Thank you.

Oh, poop…is that the best argument that you can come up with?

Are you an industry expert on the issues of “safety” and “airworthiness”?

Maybe Airbus and ST Aerospace Engineering are better qualified to comment authoritatively on these issues than laypeople with their 5 sen worth of instant fame!

Ok, if it’s not about race (and I hope it isn’t, despite your protestations), then just how many times has MAS been “whacked” for it’s financial problems and resort to bailouts?

Is MAS somehow “sacrosanct” because it’s a “national carrier”, because it has to do “national service” and because it’s “agenda” is more than pursuing profits?

If it’s purely about safety issues, then why doesn’t DCA be totally transparent and spell out exactly what problems and deficiencies it found in it’s audit of AirAsia’s operations?

I don’t think that there is anything on the DCA website on this subject. Which is strange, given that the topic would be of tremendous interest to the travelling public. Instead, what we have is newspaper reports quoting unnamed DCA officials about problems in AirAsia, resulting in a 6-months AOC extension.
