May be this is some kind of "book value" loss, its not actual cheda lost..25B is too much to be a loss for the company of that size.

No. Most of it isnt 'book value' loss. Its actual money lost on the overhead as well as fleet costs. Only the unrealised loss of 5b from hedging can be said as 'paper loss'.. Miujiza haya. No wonder DJCK called it bullshit in the media briefing

COOP 255,000 ABP 15.85; IMH 5,000 ABP 35.55; KQ 604,200 ABP 6.96; MTN 23,800 ABP 5.20

How comes that DJCK who we have all crowned to be smart is also getting shafted like everyone else?.... I wonder how much he holds.

1. Fleet expansion without revenue growth is creating a bigger giant with a softer underbelly.

2. KQ makes money for everyone else except the shareholders.

But now even KQ have outdone themselves. I have no more words on KQ.

If you remove the 5B "paper loss" due hedging, we still have 20B loss...how can a company making revenue upwards of 110B and spending 130B expected to survive and recover?

What areas can be done away with or tighten to loosen up some cash?

Can they return say 50% of those bland (yes, bland) new planes, pay the fines and save on rent?

Also may be ask pilots to accelerates the aircraft very fast for the first half of the journey high up then let the bird "free-wheel" to the final destination, this will save much fuel!

He might be bright but the one guy who would have taken KQ places is one Yves Guibert...this fellow would blow you away with his knowledge on the airline industry.

Here is my take if you want to buy KQ shares.

If you have 100,000/- buy a 2 year T-Bond. After 2 years buy KQ shares. I doubt KQ will make significant gains that can beat 12% on bonds.

A colleague just lost his baggage while on KQ flight and is swearing never to fly them again. This airline has just too many problems and would be be left to die naturally and a new airline picks up and starts afresh.

A PR stunt with Sir Charles and Manu is a script from the past, holding nothing for the future.

Going by everything Mbuvi has said since he became CEO and also on all TV networks after the disastrous losses it seems a chapter 11 bankruptcy is in the making and this will wipe all shareholders value.either a reorganization type bankruptcy or the GOK lends them like 40 bill at 2-3% with a 20 plus year loan term then hire a CEO who has been able to turn around a big airline from bankruptcy.
