One whole month of a 787 flying such short trips considering its fuel efficiency, is not a good idea at all.. They should have attached the pilots to KQ or FlyET if it's experience they seek

@maka, this bulldozer is better than most of us including Naikuni. He is visionary but his people are letting him down. His people are same as our people. You remember Ngunze and William were leasing old Q400 leading to breakdowns and loss of revenue, inconveniencing pax and so many other things. JPM bought brand new Q400s and that’s when William and Ngunze woke up and placed orders. I mentioned it here.
Naikuni used to buy old 767 direct from Mojave desert. This led to high maintenance costs, breakdowns every now and then, loss of customers and other enormous opportunity costs to the Airline. The same thing with the 737- 300 purchased from KLM.
Even when our B787 were delivered, they were not meant to replace the B777s but due to lack of planning they ended up replacing them and even the last two with Oman Air had nowhere at all to be deployed to due to mismanaged Project Mawingu.
JPM has a good intention but the people in charge of Air Tanzania are the biggest dick heads including our own e.g. Naikuni and Co.
