Ah I think you may be on to something Ya Zi.......
"never made a loss in it's 20 year history"
Pretty easy when you are in such a protected market and given routes by your old enemy (Cathay)
"never made anyone redundant"
2 things:
1. It manages to get rid of anyone who isn't toeing the party line
2. There are many people considered redundant IN KA: they work in management. (rumour has it to get promoted you need 2 alleged overspeeds).
"doubled in size in 3 years"......make it at least 5. And remember KA started in the same year as EK! Look at the size of their fleet compared to KA's.
Aircraft still on order : 3 A330's (with no confirmed destinations to fly) and Freighters that KA Pilots probably won't get to fly if senior management has their way.
YEP....the place to be.......2000m in Haze ...er pollution..er...mist
Has anyone seen that refuel panel....it was here a sec ago!!
