If it was Etihad/Qatar - I'd be okay with that as they have much better products than MAS. Obviously Qatar is the worst option as they treat their staff poorly - but Etihad does it better and they have much better products - it seems to have started working out better for Jet Airways in India.
I wonder if Emirates would ever consider diversifying their portfolio...

On this, I have dropped Enrich for MAS, as their devaluation of their FF was ridiculous. However, their flights out of KL on Business are actually really decent within Asia (ie: India) - definitely the better option in terms of pricing, not the hard product though.
