wasnt pre-2005 they get so many flak for loses year after year, but that with all the talents in the world stay with MAS? obviously need to strike a balance. I know the typical response will be upper management eat a lot, which is typical corporate greed anywhere.

MAS have been profitable recently

And the profits are massive, in the region of hundreds of millions, mind you

Their ticket prices haven't increased exponentially

It's not really hard to work out where the profit came from

Or should I say which aspect of the operation contributed 'more'

In short, a possibility of cost cutting in certain operational aspect for the airline.

Although the profitability increment can be attributed to ~50% increase in FY23/22, you can see that the on time performance dropped significantly from 84% > 72%; while profits are up hundreds of millions compared to a loss back in FY22.

On time performance can also be an indicator of flight delays attributable to maintenance issues.

Therefore would then suggest maintenance may have not been done on time or properly.

Which subsequently will highlight associated parallel consequences in TS's first post.

Now its operating mainly for profit to payback the invested shareholders rather than flying as a flag carrier

Look at the international flights and the IFE, aircraft and service provided

Along with the deterioration of Enrich values

One can tell, MAS is getting really sucky in terms of services

To add with such concerns, I won't be surprised if anything like that happens

Was considering about it too for the Enrich

Then I asked myself a bigger question

Would I want to sit MAS most of the time or not?

And my conclusion is only for a segment that I am interested in but haven't had the chance to try it out - One World Alliance

For its mainly - Qatar, Japan Airlines and Qantas only for their transfer points, but doesn't seem like its worth it also

Maybe I will ask in Enrich group instead as well
