An airline going nowhere

It never ceases to amaze me that there is still all this talk about airbuses going to HKA.

Even after the president gave his propaganda speech (before the new bedwetter tried to sell his bullsh*t pay scheme), he specifically said that Hainan airlines buys aircraft under the HKA umbrella to avoid tax issues and the red tape of getting approval from Chinese Government, exactly the same reason why it looks like HKA had 30 737's on order but they only have 7. What happened to the one aircraft per month from 2008?
The president even said, that HKA have to prove they can operate the airbus IF they arrive.........

HKA is no longer getting anymore aircraft, because Hainan are disappointed with HKA Management. They are useless.


With the current Manager of Ground operations in charge, you can see why the airline is falling apart. OTP is ridiculously low(despite the new bedwetter trying to blame the reason on flight crew), they cancel flights with low loads. They get all pi$$ed off and hang up the phone on Flight crew managers after pilots refuse to operate into freezing rain conditions?? And then go crying to managers arguing "we must be seen to be trying"........
What idiot gave him a managers job? He obviously has no idea about anything to do with flying operations. So how can he handle 50 Airbus? And this is only one example of how this ******** f&$ks up.

And now these new idiots coming in from AHK blowing their own trumpets are going to add to the mismanagement. The new bedwetter has already made a fool of himself by pretending to be an experienced pilot, and by being "proud" of his new pay scheme. He wonders why everyone laughed when he presented it. The way of the future? What an idiot.
So because of this new bedwetter, lots of guys are leaving..... Meaning lots of new training required for new entrants, meaning more expenditure.
Its a matter of time before Hainan asks why they are spending so much on training, especially since alot of retraining will be involved(not to mention the bedwetters retraining since he didn't meet the standard in Korea, and the no shows of 8 new Captains in Korea).

Another reason why no new aircraft will be going to HKA.

Who cares if the new management can have a better rapport with CAD. They can all wet their beds together, but it doesn't change the fact that it is going to be run into the ground.
