Please look at the list of unreasonable charges imposed by AirAsia, hailed by Tan Sri Tony Fernandes as “No Frills Airline”. What a good lobbyist!

MAS Unions to protest against the secret MAS AirAsia share swap deal
PETALING JAYA: Three unions in MALAYSIAN AIRLINE SYSTEM BHD (MAS) representing about 15,000 employees will hold a picket over the national carrier’s share swap exercise with AirAsia.
Cabinet must say “NO” to Tony
Tan Sri Tony Fernandes wanted LCCT for AirAsia. The Tun Abdullah’s Administration built for him costing the nation more than RM200 million. AirAsia was also allowed to owe huge airport tax debts for years under the same Administration. He wanted Rural Air Services (RAS) the same Administration gave him with a reward of about RM65 million subsidy. In less than a year he dumped the RAS to MAS with seven un-airworthy aircrafts plus a bill of RM35 million to MAS. Khazanah Nasional Bhd pretended not to know about it. MAS had to absorb the RM35 million. A year or so ago he wanted to build his own airport in Labu. Sime Darby was very keen under the leadership of Datuk Zubir. Luckily the Government under Datuk Seri Najib said “NO” to him. He wanted the new KLIA-2 without aerobridges, MAHB said “YES SIR”, in HERE.

How many years did Khazanah sleep on the huge debts owed by Alwafeer Air to MAS?
Updated: 02-09-2011 The beneficial owner of the three jumbo jets in question is Khazanah Nasional Bhd. They entrusted to MAS. The silence from Khazanah Nasional Bhd over the Alwafeer Air’s debts and the issues arose from the secret MAS-AirAsia share swap are most deafening.
MAS has leased three jumbo jets to Alwafeer Air, a Jeddah based charter airline, in HERE. It was part of the agreement that MAS seconded our pilots and stewardesses to it. Our Malaysian pilots and stewardesses were having problems in receiving their due salaries. I am told by informed sources that documentation for the leasing of the three aircrafts were incomplete and yet MAS delivered them to Alwafeer Air. Further, the three aircrafts were registered in Jeddah under Syariah law instead of Malaysian law. I am also told that MAS and Khazanah have been officially advised against this deal but it fell on deaf ears.
