All my moral support to all NJI employees who lost their job.
This is anyway the "unfortunate end-result" of a lot of airline enterprises, with the vast majority of others struggling to survive even in good times. Except a few examples (Southwest Airlines being the best one), they seem not to be worthy of real emulation from all those "scientists" in the airline business with Phd, very high "ego" levels, "experience" and a lot of "communication skills"....on b......t!!!...as the everyday aviation reports flood us.
These "scientists" would never mention things like... vision..company culture...values and beliefs...family atmosphere... respect...dignity...love...: they might try to use those words, but being miles away from the real meaning.
The only thing they can use are some financial tools and a lot of fooling up with people....this is what we experience everyday.
A very often misjudged aviation quotation says:" The airline business is won and lost at the margins". This is a business where if you apply ONLY financial principles you are heading toward failure.
This is actually what happens in the vast majority of cases.
An organization can be successful if it has a HEART and a SOUL: this is the sine qua non condition!
What we continously see is a lot of "financial tools" based airlines that inevitably produce: CEOs with pockets filled up with money, industrial debris, unhappy people (employees ,customers, shareholders)and lost confidence in this sector!!!
