A couple of flights were cancelled more than 500 pax had to be accommodated just because of 1 wedding... I actually prefer that the pilots do call in sick even on short notice because most get extremely high at 1824 et al.. and some end up in an unfit condition to fly the birds, especially Saturday and Sunday morning flights.. Bora uhai!

What's KQ's profit? Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

And I guess some people expect nationalization to 'ease' such a situation. Mutaona maajabu.. Roles will be served even to clueless outsiders! Heri sasa hivi wanaangalia internal staff. What I like about the exposes, is that it gives management a fighting chance to drain the swamp

Isn't this similar to when you come home and your kid runs to you and tells you that the maid is a liar? If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky that would be like the splendour of the mighty one.

I rem posting here how Weston got that contract... The Manager Transfer and Karibu Team then was away on sick leave... Strict person that one... Then when she came back after like 1 month she was surprised to find passengers being taken to Weston.... Very little she could do.... It takes roughly 6 months for a new hotel to be given a contract by KQ... So many checks are done by the security team before it happens... Place like Tamarind just got contracts the other day while others like Hill Park and Nairobi Upper hill have theirs terminated because of incidents... For those who know the owner of Hill Park you can imagine with all that influence JBW has the contract was terminated.... No. 2 sio mchezo interesting bit is Weston quotes the lowest price if I am not wrong 4500 per pax... So def they will get volumes.... possunt quia posse videntur

So educate me, if you are KQ management would you go to expensive hotels when weston is charging peanuts. Their strength is pricing and thats how they got the tender i guess Life is an endless adventure
