The ad hominem attacks. For all the insults that @Obiero can throw at me... I am glad he has been exposed as a conniving charlatan. Integrity. This remains key. For anyone who uses "winda" beware of the conman who will screw you over. Enough said.

And not even the person he is at odds with but his mother. Most African vernaculars included addressing our peers' mothers as our own mothers. But @vvs, pat yourself on the back for avoiding a pissing match of such quality. While most men look at mothers of peers with some level of respect, "deadly" Obiero wants to sleep with them. And I fail to see the cause of retaliation -- Obiero announced here on the forum that he is a conman and even those of us who were inclined to think he was just misguided sometimes, now know that he may or may not be misguided, but he is definitely a conman.
So, is that much talked about "spirit of Wazua" that I have come across often since I joined just an ideal like world peace?

. KQ despite turbulent times remains
a bold and treasured brand, voted as African Airline of The Year, Leading Business Class in Africa 2015, delivering 160 landing/takeoffs with uplift of over 10,000 passengers daily covering 54 global destinations. Operation Pride now at 25% of implementation, has achieved 113 improvement activities effected out of a total of 447 specific initiatives. Overall impact being 32% increase on recurrent annual income

10+ reasons to believe in operation pride atKQ:
1. End of hedging policy - Until end of 2016, some up to 2017
But welcome move with some of its stock priced at KES 88 against current price of KES 35
2. Cut off on HOTAC and other operational expenses - Operational issues still there leading to cancellations
OTP currently at 85 with cancellation being managed
3. Rightsizing of the workforce - New hires required in the long run. Only a short term measure
Lower staff costs even in the interim is welcome. We will hire more once we are well
4. Fuel efficient planes- Fuel expense still a major cost for an airline
More reason as to why the fuel costs must be tight via newer craft. KQ now has the 5th youngest fleet in aviation, globally
5. Route optimization - Few options within African continent/ Fierce competition
Shedding off on non viable or low revenue routes was mandatory
6. Category 1 status at main hub - KQ not ready to take advantage of it. Huge working capital outlay required to get the fleet back.
Increased safety for travel cannot be overstated. Even without direct US flights
7. GoK guaranteed debt at reduced pay out - Repayment need to be done in the long run
Agreed but isn't it better to pay GoK 4% than banks at 16%
8. Sale of non critical assets - Leads to reduced capacity/ Increase in operational costs e.g. lease of landing slot
The land at Embakasi, obsolete craft that depreciated by the hour. These had to go. The landing slot was not a key asset
9. Global reduction in fuel costs - Inefficiencies in fuel procurement will hinder full benefits KQ has set up a transformational office that manages procurement by way of committe
10. Revival in KE tourism - A plus but KQ flies to a few source markets KQ shall not fly to each and every country. We shall focus on sweating the assets on revenue generating targets
11. Budget carrier for booming middle-class - Expansion required going forward/ Entry of Fasjet Jambojet marketshare in Kenya is currently 90% for the 3 major routes. We can ceed market share to Fastjet, Easyjet and the others but still survive
12. Cleaned-up board and management - More needs to be done e.g. CEO need to be axed, substantive Finance head need to be appointed Only the CEO remains. Ngunze is a cerified CPA K with Harvard training.. He can double up as the CFO for now
13. Debt tenor restructure by main bankers - Longer tenure leads to higher interest cost Higher interest in the long run but we aim to retire the debt by way of principal repayments once profitability resumes by H1 2016-2017
14. Financial revamp by transaction advisers- Leads to dilution of sharesPJT aim to look at a mix of finance initiatives including but not limited to KLM pumping in additional funds to steady the turbulence. Will KLM lend at high interest rates to itself. That is unlikely

Glass half empty or half full.. Perception and conjecture theories.. Time will tell

I have officially stopped the purchase of further KQ shares and now await the ride of a lifetime. The stars are lined up, perfectly.. Thank me later

well done. that's paves way for @spikes target of 2bob to materialise. hoping u won't play ppt on this one. @maka, gives us more tidings of the forthcoming bombshell. will it be tears of joy or tears of blood. I can smell blood a mile away and blood it is.
