these is serious, can someone with inside information feed us because it seems these is a permanent gost for KQ.or is it a the price it is paying for having a strong workers union?

Fire all the pilots + crew + janitors.
Return the leased planes or re-lease them.
Cancel all new orders or 'sell' the orders.
Sell off the remaining planes.
Sell off the Properties.
Sell off Pride Center to a university.
Put all the cash in a bank account.
Settle all bills/creditors.
Fire the Management.
Send VVS a hefty dividend or capital 'payback' cheque.
The remainder of KQ can lease routes/rights to other airlines for an annual fee. Residual income.

I guarantee the net payment will be much higher than 33/-.

Rather than distribute, they should re-brand to Pride Capital, buy out Centum & TC - lots more exciting

Holding this share has got to be one of the scariest investments at the NSE. If you are not worrying about a plane crash somewhere in West Africa, u r worying about a possible strike by employees. And then other things, more recent like the ash cloud in Europe.
I boarded this plane in early 2006 at 100bob and landed safely at destination 133.
But boarding it again in 2010 at 47 seemed good until issues of strike, ash cloud and a depessed market which made me disembark at destination 45 prematurely!
I have since been flying Financials and Investmemt companies!

Such is the nature of airlines and their business. Most airlines escpecially European carriers are faced with strikes/strike threats almost consistently.

The issue here is that there is a real shortage of pilots/aeronautical engineers.

The ultimate solution for KQ/Kenya government is to DISBAND the unions escpecially KALPA.

This then means that the airline MUST stop operations for a few months, ask all employees to re-apply for their jobs and they be hired on contract basis.

Titus and Kibaki,decide!!

Joining a trade union is a constitutional right and banning it is easily challegeable in court...kq makes a blunder to employ tycoons kids who are mostly lazy,indisplined and expect too much to match their parents standards,
