Covering its losses at the expense of consumers by increasing their fares is not fair to consumers or selling their building is not going to end their financial problems. Actual is...I believe that there is no strict and proper control on internal spending and that there is no proper budget planning in the beginning. MAS spends lavishly, internal and external. It doesn't need a CEO to see it.  They should begin with cutting down their internal costs. Go down the very end line and work their way up. Carry out cost down on unnecessary overtimes, manpower, transport, staff overseas expenses, catering, stationeries and especially management expenses such as entertainment and travelling. Review suppliers and sub-contractors, change if necessary. Re-evaluate or reshuffle non performing staff and reorganise the function of HR. The new MD Idris Jala should not stop at reading reports (they don't always give the truth) but do a proper inquiry at each and every section. Invite external auditor to audit the accounts. Though these might not be able to cover the losses but there is huge savings there. Overcoming the losses in millions does not come overnight. It might take a few years. Its a matter of putting MAS back on the right track. There are many many areas in MAS that needs to be corrected.  Areas which have gone unnoticed..unintentionally or intentionally. There would be a drastic change in the working culture of MAS but it needs to be done to save MAS. I travel at least twice in a year with my family. But with the recent added fuel surcharge, doubled in airport taxes and the increase in fares, I may not afford to travel on MAS anymore.
