I've flown Malaysia airlines before, this year we flew them from Kuala Lumpur to Manila and back. The flight to Manila was 90 minutes late, the flight back to Kuala Lumpur was 2 hours late. Airlines have scheduling problems and things happen that aren't within their control, it happens to all airlines.
But my recent flight from Manila to KL was perhaps the worst flight I've ever been on. Stuck on the tarmac, screaming children directly behind me, the person behind me had long legs and we all had confining seats so he kicked me in the ass for a half hour. A dirty look made that stop. Eleanor had a talk about proper mothering with the fat Filipina with the screaming child, that worked for only a few minutes
The 737-800 was in poor shape. My seat pocket was bent out of shape, broken and ripped. The carpeting on the main aisle down the airplane was worn and unraveling. My seat belt was worn out. It was so old and worn out that I could stick my finger through the webbing and that's a safety hazard (see below). If the seat belt in my car was this worn out I would've replaced it before it got as bad as I saw tonight. I've flown Air Asia before and while the terminals was bargain basement the flights were better than Malaysia Airlines and the planes in better shape.
I showed the holey seat belt to the steward when he asked me to buckle up. He thanked me to bringing it to his attention, assured me that the seat belt was absolutely safe and said that he'd let someone know about it just as soon as we got to Kuala Lumpur. Assuming that he did that it'll be great for the next butt to sit in that seat but it only convinced me that Malaysia Airlines is either too poor to fly safely (they've been losing money) or they don't care about their customers and employees. Either way I won't fly them again, a blatant safety problem such as the seat belt below makes me suspect that the safety neglect could be deeper and I'd rather not fly such an airline.
