Below H5 are which categories of employees.

@maka, Allan does not have the necessary aviation experience. The sudden change in the salaries shows he made a mistake at the first place as I previously stated here when you broke the news.

He cannot see the big picture required to run an Airline. There is massive work out there especially with charters and cargo. If you cut salaries of managers who should be helping him grab the business opportunities then the competitors will seize them very quickly. Aviation sector is very competitive. At this period even the salaries for engineers and mechanics should not be slashed since they are busy i.e. opportunities to generate revenue by servicing planes from other carriers exist.

Let's watch how the situation will unfold. Meanwhile, Emirates is coming in with a twice weekly B777F since there is massive business out of JKIA. The managers employed by Emirates, Ethiopian can see the opportunities available while KQ Managers are sitting at home with salaries shaved. They don't care at all!

My friends....It was either that or they lay off people....Look at how ET approached it....Look at SAA now they are terminating all employees contracts...It's always easy talking from outside in...

To the best of my knowledge ALL suppliers were handed letters to request for waivers and even at some point a 100% write off... I doubt any up to now has agreed to such....

Rem I also said that KQ is probably charged some of the lowest GH fees in most of their routes because of cost cutting measures...

Qatar has also done a 50% cut...

People not required should have gone home and can come back gradually as business recovers and that way you avoid demoralising people who should be generating business.

Poor strategy was taken by Allan. It is very clear to me. Slashing salaries of top people driving the organisation is telling the market you are shutting down totally and what follows is the share price hitting zero.

Qatar approach is the best. Retain people required to get the job done and use the opportunity to get rid of unnecessary headcount. Mind you, Qatar CEO has extensive aviation experience spanning almost 25 years. He used to run Gulf Air in 1990s.

I hope the dream liners wont be stinking like wakulima market after ferrying all these mbogas to europe on seats. I also hope all crew are quarantined for 14 days after returning from europe.

Bailout funds from the govt should cater for the final dues to staff.

Allan is just prolonging a problem. Even with resumptions of flights post-covid-19, not all employees will come back at once since it will take time for air travel to pick up again. Is he going to continue paying them yet they wont be working? Where will the funds come from to pay them?

Poor decision making at its best!Just watch this space. This will come up in the next few months.

I know! Allan should have narrowed the headcount. He has lost a golden chance to make things right
