We really need someone who can be on top of things at KQ lest we get swallowed yet we have a good product and well trained manpower at our disposal. The vision 2025 mentioned in the article is our 'project mawingu'.

The biggest mistake that could happen right now is to loose the institutional memory of KQ by firing Ngunze who is the last man standing after all other directors were either fired or resigned.. Let the new guys come in and gradually they shall absorb the wealth of knowledge held by Ngunze.. One year shall be enough. Meanwhile, we await the impressive full year results and outstanding Q1 2016-2017


@Obiero On this, at least, I agree with you.


What a Sh*t!?
The institutional memory of KQ is best held by the middle level managers and the normal @wanjiku worker who has no interest to save the name and interest of some gad fada!

3/4 of KQ staff don't know what hedging means or even worse the number of planes the airline owns

[quote=ArrestedDev]The intrigues are still there. Fresh thinking is needed. Ngunze should hang the boots up.

Quote:
Another problem is snowballing. The airline replaced its B777s with the smaller but more fuel efficient 787-8 Dreamliner for its long haul routes. This week a source at the airline told us: “The Boeing 787-8 fleet is stretched to the limits with hardly any time left for servicing the aircraft. Frequent breakdowns have resulted in delays, cancellations and huge hotel bills, as passengers are accommodated after cancellations”.


Read in between the lines in the below articles. Ignore Mbugua's assertions.

http://www.nation.co.ke/.../-/132f52s/-/index.html[/quote]

Obiero that story is a big lie I agree...


@maka Not everything is false. The assertions regarding the two B777s parked at JKIA are true. Even the assertion that the B787 are stretched has some substance in it. 7nos. B787 aircrafts plying 7+ routes - BKK & HKG, AMS, LHR,CAN & HAN, DXB, JNB, CDG & BOM.

As I said read between the lines.



Running those 777s will be one costly affair tht KQ can't handle right now...the planes will only be full at most 1 direction...that would be a disaster on to that add the extra staff needed...HOTAC costs...it's going to be crazy.


You have some iota of truth in one "way full" (but thats seasonal coz what goes around must always come back) but I cant get the disaster in staff since as we know the said staff we are told have been taking paycheck for the last 18 months without blowing a nose....plus if the airplane will be half full, which ghost pax will they be taking to the HATAC?

Teach me tisha.


Yes.Keep wondering too. The HOTAC that @maka is referring to above is related to Deck crew and Cabin crew. The only reasons that I can buy are:

a. The fuel burn rate that those equipment have and since the hedges and the kickbacks cheques are there then it will be expensive to run

b. Currently KQ has no working capital at all such that buying spare parts for the equipment is not feasible.

In overall, KQ need fresh thinking as I have said here.

Really? Where did you gather such information from. The middle level managers who when they put forward suggestions, the so called directors brush them aside. Fresh thinking at the top is required and not a continuation of the old. Let a CEO with a rich aviation experience be at the helm of KQ and you will see wonders. It is evident that Ngunze is not up to the task at hand.

Turns out the former CFO of KQ knew what hedging meant... for his pocket.

But they know who was responsible at the time misappropriation was taken place.

Tell me what you think about this..

Ysterday there was a gallery walk for some of the pilots,basically they were being shown the initiatives being done to save KQ.
One of them said that he was taken for some training at Addis that costthe airline 5 million bob when he came back he was requested to take a 60k paycut the guy refused and was told to go on leave,thats from late last year so he has been earning his pay plus 10 nights out allowance even though he is not flying.Sad thing he is not the only one...
The training he went for has expired yet he hasnt been working.He is going to Addis again...
What would you say about this?What was the Director of Flight Ops the boss thinking....

That is sad. Wasnt it Mwangi who was in Flight Ops at that time. Very decorated executive, but seems wisdom lacked

@maka, You are not clear here. Captain returning to ADD again to do what? He is flying which aircraft type to necessitate training once again? All the old directors in KQ should leave if this Company is going to survive. The remaining should go including Ngunze. Incompetence of the highest order.
