Introduction This trip came about when I spotted some good airfares from Singapore Airlines thanks to social media.

For now, Firefly is the only airline that operates at this airport but I suspect once Scoot starts operating the ERJ-190 E2, we might see them flying out of this airport, giving Firefly some competition. About Firefly Firefly is a subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines set up in March 2007 and started commercial flights a month later.

Taking the emotion out of the topic is the key to an effective discussion between upper management and airline pilots. The key is to have a dialogue that both crews and management understand by laying out the facts and new theories and innovations that change what we as airline pilots may understand.
