KQ and kk made the major losses in the same year, kk was quick to react KQ is yet to. The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

I was one of those that said it wasn't feasible. If a non expert in the airline industry, non accountant like me can see a fault in a companys strategy that a whole board goes ahead and persues, kq was in very bad hands. And don't think that much has changed. which right minded investor would pour 18 billion to a financially mismanaged loss making firm? Unless its the chinco gov. or an airline buying out most of Gov's stake. That was the only way out for them... Focusing on actionables, KQ doesn't need a equity partner to raise 18B. The going rate for a new 787 is USD180-200M. Now, KQ has 5 of it's older fleet up for sale. Reportedly a 767 and 4 777-200s. The issue is how soon they can be sold. Will help clear debt, but would result to more losses ^ pombe? bangi? please explain how selling of fuel guzzling planes leads to more losses Write down losses. “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

The major shareholders in KQ have 'political' appointees. All this boils down to ownership. KK didn't go for an ill-advised expansion plan nor a Rights Issue to hide its underlying problems.

This demonstrates how important management is in investing The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

Can't ignore this bear shetani hovering around. Although the wod 'likely' has been used by the reporter on the resuming of flights, I would like to assume it's a step in the right direction KQ to resume flights to West Africa African parents don't know how to say sorry.. the closest you will get to a sorry is a 'have you eaten'
