AirAsia paid Mas for uplift or bailout?

Freedom Come Freedom Go

When was it paid? If the RA was signed only yesterday, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?

MP Wee Choo Keong had highlighted a free ride for Air Asia issue and provided with a screenshot.

I have highlighted the date. The MAS statement says "AAX tickets issued before Jan 13 on the four routes would be transferred for travel on MAS between March 28 and Oct 27" and the screenshot shows 3 March 2012.

Is MAS telling the truth? My comment earlier asking when was the prepayment received is important because it would determine YB Wee's allegation.
...

From a limited understanding, re-accommodation is a normal practice but due to cancellations of flights for various reasons and not for cancelled routes altogether.

...

Is it really a Re-accommodation Agreement or a bailout?
