KQ expansion is mostly in Africa especially Lusophone (Mozambique, Angola) & Francophone (chunks of West Africa, Burundi) countries. KQ needs staff who speak Portuguese & French.

I have heard that KQ wants to expand further into China (Beijing or Shanghai) thus there is the need to hire 'Chinese' (Han, Mandarin & Cantonese) speakers among the crew.

Instead of Naikuni placing a whole page advert on SN pleading with unionized workers not to strike he should SACK a few of them and employ new graduates who are looking for jobs.

Damn straight! Seems there is a fight amongst the union members as well... Let those who want to work work. Protect them. Fire those who go on strike...

there is more to employees than just hiring and firing. U think those will not unionise and we are back to the same prob?
I think the cost of training those graduates may be the same as back-dating as well!

KQ needs 'new' blood all the time as it grows. The issue is the stupidity of going on strike all the time.

I maintain that you are NOT forced to work for the private or public sector... If you feel underpaid or under-appreciated then QUIT...

As a shareholder I do not care if an employee quits unless I can't replace him/her. Everybody is replaceable...

kenyatta thought he was the 'one'... he died & was replaced by moi... who claimed Kenya would be in big shit if he left... kibaki came in... who wanted a 2nd term thinking Kenya needs him... well, he will be gone in 2013...
