#MH370: @AirAsia CUBA SABOTAJ @MAS KERANA DAHAGAKAN PUBLISITI SEBELUM INI? GILA!

Pelik betul dengan Syarikat Penerbangan Air Asia ini, sudahlah baru-baru ini juruterbangnya dah buat hal (SINI), ditambah pula apabila pihak Air Asia seolah 'mengugut' tidak mahu berganjak dari Terminal Tambang Rendah (LCCT), sekarang isu MH370 pula 'diugut'!!

Pada pandangan peribadi saya, sememangnya ini adalah tindakan yang agak 'kurang ajar' dan tidak matang oleh syarikat penerbangan yang bertaraf antarabangsa seperti Air Asia ini.

Sepatutnya pihak Air Asia iklankan ucapan takziah kepada 239 penumpang dan krew yang terlibat dalam tragedi pesawat Malaysia Airlines (MAS) MH370, tapi ini adalah sebaliknya? Apakah itu................??

Tengok ini:

“Pilot training in AirAsia is continuous and very thorough. Rest assured that your captain is well prepared to ensure your plane will never get lost.” - AIR ASIA MAGAZINE

Adakah ini adalah kerana populariti Air Asia tenggelam rentetan 'publisiti durian runtuh' yang MAS dapat melalui tragedi MH370? Jawapan saya adalah 80% ialah YA dan 20% lagi ialah MUNGKIN.

Seperti yang diketahui, Air Asia agak popular sebelum ini kerana dikatakan memberikan servis yang baik dan memiliki tambang yang murah. Manakala, MAS pula adalah sebuah syarikat penerbangan kerajaan yang telah rugi berbillion (SINI) dan kini akan bertambah rugi disebabkan musibah tragedi MH370!! 

CEO Air Asia, Tony Fernandes harus lebih 'alert' dengan bahan pengiklanan dan promosi oleh stafnya. Info terkini, dia sudah pun membuat permohonan maaf diatas kebodohan ini seperti yang dilaporkan di laman akhbar/berita dan laman-laman blog. Sambung, baca dibawah:

AirAsia today apologised and removed its latest in-flight magazine from all its aircraft after an article was criticised for being sarcastic towards the missing MH370

• AirAsia has apologised over an article published on its in-flight travel magazine travel 3sixty April edition, which appeared to be sarcastic towards the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 flight. - thestar.com.my
• In a statement here, AirAsia executive chairman and Travel 3Sixty’s publisher Datuk Kamarudin Meranun apologised for the slight and said that copies of the magazine have been removed from all AirAsia flights. -  astroawani.com

TINDAKAN DISIPLIN AKAN DIAMBIL 

Timbalan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Kumpulan AirAsia, Kamarudin Meranun telah umumkan bahawa Air Asia akan laksanakan tindakan disiplin/tatatertib terhadap 'editorial team' yang terlibat. Ini bagus, tapi harap jangan "Indah Khabar Dari Rupa" sudah lah. Apa-apa pun sila SEGERAKAN, pastikan dalam masa tidak sampai 24 jam ada timbul berita baru berkenaan tindakan ini.
Berikut adalah kenyataan oleh Kamarudin:

• "With deep regret and remorse I would like to sincerely apologise for any offense caused by the Pilot's Perspective article in the latest issue of Travel 3Sixty magazine. The section is a monthly column on aviation written by Capt Lim Khoy Hing, a retired pilot who formally worked with AirAsia as well as Malaysia Airlines and has written books on aviation industry. As a monthly contributor, Capt Lim prepares all of his articles months in advance before the magazine goes to print. Unintentionally and regrettably, the current issue carries an article that discusses GPS and Radar, which was printed a month before its issue date." - themalaymailonline.com
• "We’ve addressed the issue and have improved our editorial approval process to ensure this does not happen in future and ensure that all contents in the magazine are consistent with our brand values. Disciplinary action will be taken against the editorial team as well. We are removing the magazine from all of our flights on all AirAsia aircraft immediately. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the family and friends of the recent aviation incident." -  astroawani.com
• "This is a truly difficult time for the nation and words cannot describe how I personally feel about this incident. It truly saddens me that this article was released at such an inopportune moment. Again, I repeatedly offer my sincere apologies for any discomfort this may have caused." -  themalaymailonline.com

CEO Air Asia, Tony Fernandes telah menyatakan permohonan maaf melalui laman Twitternya:

TONY FERNANDES DIDAKWA TELAH DELETE TWEET???

• On the day the plane went missing, Fernandes said on Twitter that the aircraft’s radio had failed and that all were safe, but later deleted the tweet. -  indianexpress.com

Ini pula respon awal/kritikan oleh penggiat media sosial berkaitan dengan berita yang dilaporkan sebelum ini:

Ramai yang beranggapan bahawa ini adalah tidak sesuai dengan situasi dan biadap kerana sekarang seluruh dunia sedang dalam kesedihan menunggu berita tragedi MH370. Selain itu, ianya seolah-olah tidak menjaga sensitiviti keluarga penumpang dan krew.

Respon artis Hanis Zalikha

• The issue first came to light when a passenger flying aboard an AirAsia flight photographed the page and posted it on the microblogging site yesterday, before accusing the airline of being managed by “arrogant douchebags”. -  malaysia-chronicle.com 

• Airline pulls magazine boasting its pilots 'would never lose a plane' -  breakingnews.ie
