hmmmm wonder why "Singapore_Air" complained about "The MH configuration is stupid and is less densely configured than our own ones". In fact the pax esp the EY will like these 2 ex-MH 744s as the seat pitch for EY is 34" compared to our own SQ 744s at 32". And its F and J classes are equipped only recently with very new seats which are better than our 744s too.

I agree Y is better on MH than SQ due to additional legroom.

Originally posted by MAN Flyer View PostI disagree with that. I prefer the SpaceBed and Skysuite, although in fairness I have only tried MH's new F once.

Y as you describe it.

Hmm let's hope I get SQ227 in August on the ex-MH aircraft. I normally avoid 744s in Y because of the cramped cabin but unfortunately schedules are a concern this time. Then again from what I've read so far these aircraft are going to be serving AKL exclusively.All opinions shared are my own, and are not necessarily those of my employer or any other organisation of which I'm affiliated to.

In the interest of brand/corporate image and product integrity, does anyone here seriously think that SQ would keep everything on the MH aircrafts intact? Leasing an aircraft does not mean that they have to accept the aircraft as it is. I believe modifications will be made by SQ, especially getting rid of the prayer room and piling in more seats, and ensuring that no MH logos are visible throughout the cabin.

Originally posted by The High Flyer View PostNot sure if this is the complete story, but MH has been losing money and is in the midst of a business restructuring process. That includes doing away with unprofitable routes and hence redundant aircraft. Oh, have they done anything to those expensive paintings?
They have sold a building they own in central KL but I don't know if they still have those paintings....

Originally posted by MAN Flyer View PostThis is about the size of it. There is far too much politcal interferenece in the way MH is run, hence they still do have a few routes that are losing quite a lot of money but are still going for 'prestige' reasons; KUL-ARN-EWR and that bizarre flight to EZE via South Africa.

The newly registered MH744 (9V-SPR) has started flying on the SIN-AKL route. Also, the seat plan for the MH744 has also been uploaded onto SQ's website. So confirmed no change of seats, aka MH new F/J/Y seats.
