Oops Captains having issues... A letter doing rounds where they are complaining how KLM gets the most of the top management positions at the airline yet there are many experienced Kenyans who have worked for years.... They have listed profitable routes (one of them being Mumbai) that were sabotaged by some guy called Marko seconded to KQ by KLM...

Kenya airways to hire 100 pilots a year as fleet expands

He is slowly losing it... I still stick to the idea that he wont stick for long....

Is this the guy who was in charge of the network?

I remember the Mumbai Flight timing was changed when this guy took over. New Delhi also terminated at the same time then KLM took over the slot left by KQ.

It is very true KLM is controlling KQ to their own advantage and that of the other foreign carriers.

I hope Mikosz address this issues or else it will still be hard for KQ to turn a profit.

It is true there are people in KQ who knows very well the genesis of the issues / detrimental interventions that have been done by KLM people who doesn’t necessarily understand Africa. They behave as if they know everything.

In aviation, if you are smart enough then there are some decisions which you can see the positive/ negative effects through analysis of the performance e.g. passengers numbers.

Remember the guy who leaked out the McKinsey payouts. This was a smart person, actually smarter than Ngunze and Alex. It was obvious to him that the payouts being made does not match the benefits being realised.

Unless all these underlying issues are addressed by Mikosz then KQ is likely to slide deep into negative equity and this is the worry that among the pilots who are very smart.

You remember we were even able to point out bad decisions executed by Ngunze? What about the pilots who have inside information about KQ? They talk to people in the commercial department who are aware of these missteps. They can easily see the reason why Ethiopian is now able to upload more passengers than KQ in some key routes compared to 2007. Actually this information is leaked by Commercial to the pilots since they are vocal enough.

You remember Gichinga in the press conference highlighting issues in repatriation of funds which were later picked up by the forensic audit.

These KLM guys should just go.I hope the Commercial position does not go to anyone from KLM.

Vincent Coste recent exit also had issues to deal with KLM https://www.businessdail...448388-gc0xuy/index.html

There is a massive attempt

True.. But this time it's GoK funded and not via rights issues or high interest rated bank debt

But MJ says profitability isn't key for KQ
