My last day at Malaysia Airlines

24th October 2011 was my last day at Malaysia Airlines.

I joined the airline on 3rd May 2010 and I thought that I would stay there until I retire. Or at least until I can become Area Manager UK. But it appeared that I'm destined to work somewhere else after 1 year 5 months in MH.

Actually my official last day is 3 November 2011 but since I had to clear my annual leave, my last day became much earlier.

My farewell notes goes like this:

I want to take a moment to let you know that today is my last day at Malaysia Airlines.

I have enjoyed my tenure here and I appreciate having had the opportunity to work with everyone in this department. Thank you for the support, guidance, and encouragement all of you have provided me during my time in RMD. Even though I've only been here for about 1 year 5 months, I've had the opportunity to work in 2 different areas within Revenue Management: Operations Research & Systems and Route Revenue. I've gained valuable knowledge pertaining to the airline industry. The training provided during my tenure here has also shaped me into a better, stronger person.

Oh, and thank you very much for the lovely farewell gift. Love it! I will be wearing the necklace and charm bracelet all the time from now, in remembrance of everyone here in RMD.

I will miss all of you, but I am also looking forward to this new challenge in the new phase of my career.

Please keep in touch, I can be reached at my personal email address:

Thanks again for everything.

Part of the note is Googled, part of it was inspired from others' farewell notes and part of it came from my heart :-)

At around 5.30pm, I walked around the office to say goodbye to everyone and took photos with some of them.

Since Fazilah is going to become a Flight Analyst, I gave her one last briefing/handover. There's not much I can teach her though, because our work processes are different because I was handling ASEAN routes while she'll be handling Domestic routes. But I hope whatever knowledge I had shared with her will be beneficial when she starts her new task next week!

After we're done with the short handover, we went out for dinner at Citta Mall. Fazilah helped to carry my things to my car. We ate and talked and then we went home. Before we went back, we said goodbye (even though I refused) and it was a very emotional moment for both of us. We hugged and promised to still keep in touch. Fazilah was the last person to be with me on my last day at Malaysia Airlines.

OMG, I am SO gonna miss having the authority to confirm/reject bookings & quoting the fare classes!
