The flight, scheduled to leave at 10 pm, finally took off at 4.15 am on Monday. MAS staff on duty said that the delay was in getting the flight officer from Kuching to Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Passenger William Pothier of the United States said the passengers were already on board Flight MH7167 when they were told to disembark. 'We were told that the captain was on his way from Kuching.' He said that, about 9 pm, they were told the flight would be delayed until 11 pm when the flight officer from Kuching was expected to arrive. About 10.40 pm, there was another announcement that the flight would be delayed until 11.20 pm to allow the captain to transfer to their gate. At 11.15 pm, the passengers were told the captain had arrived and the flight would leave at 11.40 pm. However, at 11.55 pm they were informed that the flight would be delayed further because the captain could not be located. Mr Pothier claimed that many passengers had missed their international connections. A spokesman for MAS apologised and said there would be an investigation. 'Initial reports received by us showed there was a mix-up in the duty roster. 'Our ground staff did everything they could to ensure that all passengers were put on the next available flight.' --The Star/Asia News Network ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ( Melanggan ?
