They're replacing old fleets with the new one's thus the need as they need more captains. “The beauty of success is that it doesn’t matter how many times you have failed, you only have to be right once and then everyone can tell you how lucky you are.” - Mark Cuban

It's not a rumour it's totally true there is even an impending go slow from the pilots as 11 have been told they will be retired 2 years early...as for the planes they are being leased out. possunt quia posse videntur

There are no routes in the forseable future to sustain the -300 which had been ordered. There may be space for the existing -200, but its crew is quite expensive to maintain. Take a 777 which does nbo-dubai-hongkong. You need a set of crew to take it to Dubai, a second set to take it to Hong Kong, another set to return it to Dubai and the set in Dubai to bring it back to nbo. You also need a fourth set as relief. That's four sets to run a single plane. At its basic level you need four sets, but with clever crew management one can get away with three. A 777 captain takes home1.5 metres before allowances. Because of type approval issues, 777 crew can't be deployed say to 787 or 737 or even embraers (haha)

Why? And KCAA should ignore the TCAA. After all, let KQ make a private/economic decision. Of course, this is Tanzania we are talking about. They are all about the double-speak. They were against the Northern Corridor (Coalition of the Willing) but now they attend the meetings though I remain suspicious. I think they plan to sabotage the Northern Corridor.

Is it halving number of flights or number of seats? If flights, KQ should just replace embaer with 787, if flights......

I still see 18K in his signature so I presume he is seated on Simba money. Time is money, so money is time. Money saved is time gained in reverse! Money stores your life’s energy. You expend your energy, get paid money, and store that money for a future purchase made in a currency.
