‘Top heavy’ MAS faces uphill task

Interestingly, MAS’ staff strength has gone to 20,000 from 19,094 in FY08 despite its efforts to cut routes and frequencies to certain parts of the world.

Across the causeway, Singapore Airlines Ltd (SIA) had 22,282 employees with available passenger capacity of 108 billion seats per km, against MAS’ capacity of just 50.8 billion seats per km.

SIA’s revenue per employee was S$660,308 (RM1.6 million) and cost per employee stood at S$99,560 for FY11 ended March 31.

I really hope Mas would take the lead in doing what is right for the business. No more wastage of public fund please.
