@VVS at sub-2 bob I would simply be buying for souvenir...to keep and compare one day that the share was once hitting 140 shillings but now selling at sub 2 shillings.

It is actually KQ that does not want to let go of the 777 pilots. Mainly 2 reasons.

1. They do not have funds to pay them off now. Some of those pilots have worked 30 years and will need send of package of approximately 20 million. For the total number of 28 Captains that is approximately 560 million bob.

2. The Turkish sublease agreement for the (3) 777-300 and the Oman Air (3)787 is for 3 years after which KQ may get the aircrafts back. That means they may need those captains 3 years down the road. With the current high experience pilot shortage globally they have to be smart or they may end up like Emirates currently grounding aircrafts coz of nil pilots.

So they cant retrench them coz they will need them at some point and they also cant maintain them on payroll coz of the costs. That is why the Ethiopian deal makes sense. Most of the pilots however want to resign get their money and go home but it is difficult seeing that KQ has blocked voluntary early retirement to all staff. There is where the conflict lies.

Where is @cde? I miss his insults re: my stance on KQ.

Africans need to eat vvs in comparison to the other countries. .I find it foolish and selfish. Former finance boss wants to come back to kq because he was fired unfairly and he was behind all the kq problems. It's foolish man

Atleast your mum doesnt think of me in that way
