EK new president?

Has anybody heard anything new about TC leaving and being replaced by an ex- Lufthansa man?
Heard some crew talking about a German flying over to Dubai, telling them he was going to take over from TC and about what he hoped to do at EK - the usual stuff, get more crew so we don't have to work so many hours etc etc.
Any updates?

So its TC's fault oil prices are up just as its my fault when a local hits my parked car because if I weren't in the country, the mishap would have never happened...completely logical thinking from the locals

Don't quite know where that reply came from or what it has to do with my question, however back to the thread - there have been rumours (and remember this is a rumour forum) of TC leaving. Maybe he is just retiring, maybe its a health reason, maybe something else, maybe it is just another rumour and he is staying like MF until he gets carried out in a wood box! So anybody have any other updates to add - answers preferably along the lines of the thread would be appreciated!

Heard the same rumour on my last trip, but in this version he is Austrian (could tie-in with the ex-LH status).

But we will not know until the powers that be announce it. They are tighter than a nun's bum when it comes to giving out information generally, and it will be even tighter with this level of change.

Of course, that will not stop the stories, there are more rumours here than fleas on a farm dog!

Some protagonists say, (a rumor again!) TC will leave before his 380 megalomania starts hitting the profits.

He wants to leave a glorified memory.

The decision to halt the too many orders will be the welcome gift for his successor.

The guy you are refering to, is already with us...
His name is Thierry Antinory and he might be replacing TC.... He was long time a Manager with LH and then was appointed CEO of Austrian Airlines. He quit the day he was expected to start in Vienna and joined EK.....

Let's see what really will happen... you've gotta love the rumors in our company..

Ok, did some googling and apparently this Thierry Antinori is the Emirates Executive Vice President Passenger Sales World Wide. You have to wonder why he would give up the CEO position at Austrian Airlines to come to EK unless of course he knew either Austrian was going bust or there was a better job at EK or maybe both!!!

Even if he does take over who is to say anything will happen as the head hombre still has the final word!
