| Summary: | The study of human resource development programme in the current crisis of the
increasing number of pilots leaving Malaysia Airlines Systems (MAS) is to determine the
problems and factors which contribute to this issue. This study focus on the causes of
why 174 pilots left MAS for other airlines since November 2004 until March 2006. The
number of pilots left MAS which contributes to the exodus and shortage of the pilots
since year 2004 will in no doubt, jeopardise flight safety and influence the morale among
other pilots. MAS pilots are not comfortable and not satisfied with the present situation
which leads to foreign airlines absorbing those talented and experienced technical crew.
Several issues which were brought up by the Malaysia Airlines Pilot Association
(MAPA) to MAS are still under negotiation and is still pending to be solved since 3 years
ago. The approach of this study starts from analysing the human resource management
which includes human resource development and compensation. There are many areas
whereby improvements can be made; for instance the MAPA is seeking a comprehensive
retention package so that the country's vital human capital can be retained. Without
sufficient numbers of pilots, the national airline will be gravely affected in its operations.
This study strongly believes that the push factors needs to be seriously addressed. The
pull factors have always been there. It is the push factors that are causing our pilots to
look for the pull factors. MAS cannot afford to take the risk of losing even one more pilot
to other competitors. (Author's abstract) |
