I hope the same patriotism will be directed the guys at mobius, ama its selective.

KQ staff. Number please? Your boss needs to know that you can comfortably replace the pr manager

First, do not compare KQ with Ethiopian Airways at all. In Ethiopia its almost illegal to complain of harsh working conditions regardless of what, so even the air hostesses and all crew members have not the best working environments but its just amust to conform. Once you are a pilot with Ethiopian Airlines, resigning to work for another company is almost considered as a 'terrorist activity'. So their employees undergo 'forced instilled patriotism'.

KQ could be headed for worse times. My friends who came back from flight schools in SA have not yet undergone conversion classes in Amsterdam for their respective planes, and they are not the most hopeful lot. I do not like some KQ staff, at times the air hostesses wamekunja sura directing you with hands like you are a group of sheep. Some are just so frightening in fact if you have a question to ask utaogopa kuuliza. And one day last week from Nairobi to Dar, this air hostess stood at the door greeting all the passengers as we entered the plane. How do u exchange germs by shaking hands with more than 100 passengers!!!! What about if the first passenger had ebola!!! I refused to shake her hand and she frowned!!! After that i even doubted the hygiene of their food, I could not order anything!! The pilots are typical Kenyans but try to speak in some fake American tweng!! This dint irritate me but got me laughing coz how do you fake an American accent and you havent even been there!! Selling alcohol kwa ndege should also be restricted in some way, i dont do booze at all and the seat mate drinks Tusker and starts silly conversations with me, harufu ya Tusker almost makes me puke!!

All the top management in KQ should have their salaries slashed as they are being paid outrageous amounts. They should sell some of the big old fleets that are not so profitable and invest in mid sized planes like the Dash-800 for regional flights, easy to maintain and cheaper to run even with fewer passengers. Bundling people into that bus at the terminal is also a no no, what about the disabled?

@Gordon,
1. I never meant old as in very old but, the fleets that they have had for more than 10 years like the 737s that ply Addis, Entebbe, Kampala, Dar and Kilimanjaro Airport, instead of going with the plane half full, it would be much easier to go with full Dash, though that will mean additional travel time.

2. In this case we have mostly been referring to passenger flights, not cargo. I have no knowledge about how they handle cargo so i have no comment. Dashes are not meant for cargo in most cases.

KQ has the youngest fleet in Africa younger than American Delta Emirates Qatar name it. KQ Might have a few challenges like other airlines due to schedule intergrity but mostly caused by Tech issues which means they wont operate a flight with a problem good safety.
Its the only carrier departing from Terminal 1A jkia as good as Bangkok Dubai better than Heathrow and JNB. KQ on board service is great its just facing a few challenges that will come and pass. The airport closure affects all airlines not just KQ. its beating BA hands down on the London-Nairobi route with the iconic 787dreamliner. They have new 737-800 NG with moodlighting Personal Wide DVDs mostly on Lagos AND joburg route. KQ is Africas best a few haters with little info about the aviation world spoiling its nane
