Air Namibia update

[freesky]

These are just symptoms…
1) There were flights cancelled because of Staff shortages. (Vic Falls; Maun; Ondangwa etc.)
2) The way Air Namibia OPS is run, you can forget a logical, true and honest answer.
3) The pool's career path is a joke. (If you were not ready for the move when required and somebody below you was; TUFF tickets. Wait until ex-cabin crew start to demand seniority after obtaining a CPL.)
4) Crew scheduling is a total mess: Pilot’s and Cabin Crew alike. (Pilot’s and Cabin Crew unions have to work together to force management to follow international accepted norms.)
5) Cabin Crew Union executive members have been promoted into management positions to shut them up. (Luckily nobody lasts there for more than 3 years).
6) Very loyal Pilots are leaving. (2 have gone in Dec; at least 5 more to follow)
The list goes on and on and on…

The day when Air Namibia will be refused to fly into Europe because the NAMIBIAN DCA is blacklisted is on the horizon. An ex-director prevented a blacklisting in early December 2007 but by the next ICAO ex-co meeting, things in the Namibian DCA must have changed for the better.

THE CEO’S ARE HIGHER CONNECTED THAN THE DCA.
THE FACT IS THAT THE NAMIBIAN DCA HAS BEEN TO WEAK TO DO THE REQUIRED JOB! LETS HOPE THINGS CHANGE NOW THAT A NEW DIRECTOR HAS BEEN APPOINTED.
