This is a side show by toad and his favourite cohorts to create a smokescreen. These people are harmless and did nothing to threaten the airline, nothing more than the others that are involved in telling people how to be millionaires, selling insurance and unit trust and so on. Their past records and many many years of sevice means nothing, especially black who was a former cp. These 3 hasnt even been paid by Asmara to sit on the board and as far as I know has never made any decision that would be detrimental to MAS. Asmara doesnt even have an AOC yet, they only announced that they intended to get one. This is the toad getting rid of percieved competition.
As said by Gabra1, there is nothing stopping these experienced people from leaving. Asiana's looking for 744 capts and so is Korean soon. Etihad's 744 freighter is in the picture too as is Air Atlanta. There's SIN cargo, CAL and Great Wall out of Shanghai. Many options out there. There is a agent looking for 744 capts for an airline in the far east. Could this airline be MAS?
I put this to you. Maybe toad wants people to leave! Then he can justifiably tell the board that he needs to hire expats. He gets a cut from the agent and laughs all the way to the bank. Say usd 1000 per pilot for say 10 pilots for say 5 years (this being rather conservative).
Lets watch this drama unfold, and while we're at it, will someone call the ACA.
And oh, question for Malaysian expats in the foreign airlines. Would you sign up with this agent (advertising in Flt International, 744 capt position for airline in the far east) so that you can fly for MAS again? Would be nice to fly with toad, gives you an opportunity to thumb your nose at him.
Bubye...
