You are aware whose interests the Ngunzes take care of, right? Hint, the other Ngunze is at CBA.

@obiero food for thought.

Prof. Abletor Sedofia from University of Ghana has this to say to us:
*"Academic excellence is overrated! I said it. Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you will be at the top of life. You could graduate as the best student in Finance but*
*it doesn't mean you will make more money than everybody else. The best graduating Law student does not necessarily become the best lawyer. The fact is life requires more than the ability to understand a concept,* *memorise it and reproduce it in an exam. School rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their imagination.*
*School rewards caution, life rewards daring. School hails those who live by the rules. Life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones. So do I mean people shouldn't study hard in school? Oh, no, you should.* *But don't sacrifice every other thing on the altar of First Class.*
*Don't limit yourself to the classroom. Do something practical. Take a leadership position. Start a business and fail.* *That's a better Entrepreneurship 101.Join or start a club. Contest an election and lose. It will teach you something Political Science 101 will not teach you.* *Attend a seminar. Read books outside the scope of your course.* *Go on*
*missions and win a soul for eternal rewards... Do something you believe in! Think less of* *becoming an excellent student but think more of becoming an excellent person. Make the world your classroom."*

Yeah, just reflect on it. Sometimes qualifications does not translate to anything. It does not have to confuse you all the time. The HBS short course that he did was even merged long ago with another program and look at who the program target (mid-career executive). See the below link.

Quote:

In 2005, TGMP merged with a closely related program offered by HBS—the Program for Management Development (PMD). The resulting program—the General Management Program (GMP)—launched in September 2006. This program, designed for executives transitioning from functional to general management, provides an ideal leadership development experience for the mid-career executive.

Ngunze remains a manager who is steeped in outdated style of management and nothing more. On your claim that his sponsor is incorruptible - you are very wrong.

Some positives for sure but your list has a serious flaw. Apart from number 5 nothing else touches on the most important aspect of the business THE PRODUCT.

KQ has a terrible product at the moment. Buying a KQ ticket as per the current statistics means either of the following:-

1. There is a 30% probability your bag will be left behind if it is an embraer.
2. 50% probability your flight will be delayed.
3. 10% probabilty your flight will be rescheduled past 6 hours later.
4. 5% probabilty it will be cancelled.

The incoming COO is very decorated on paper and if his stint at Cobalt is anything to go by,he will probably be the "Kq messiah" but only time will tell. Until then the financial moves will only stabilise the company but wont change the prevailing situation.

So only 5 % chance you will enjoy your flight?

How can you-know-who know the pain of flying KQ when he (probably) receives free upgrades...

Yeah, it is evident from the complaints registered via twitter and facebook. Part of the problem can be attributed to other sky team carriers but the main issue is to do with KQ's capacity. Dreamliners are now the main stay fleet for moving cargo and less cargo belly is dedicated to pax baggage. The story with E190 is worse, not much space for Cargo and even pax baggage cannot fit if it is a full flight and hence the baggage left behind.

to announce reduced loss

Is the reduction in loss sustainable?

NO!

This should be countered immediately with increase in revenue streams, othewise even 2 bob will be too expensive to buy...most of these reduction in loss is by way of asset sale and asset lease out (bro @Obiero and sister @maka can confirm)...and the lease term are very short, like 3 years on average...so in 2019 most of the assest leased out will be dumped on their doors.
