Did LH Technik Get Paid?
The Dud Check's to the NCAA cover story is brilliant - I take it that means in the last 4 years of Op's this is the first time W3 have paid so the NCAA didn't know what the procedure was
LOL!
The biggest mistake made by VK was pulling off London - why?
I'll tell you.. 1) when the decision was made oil was USD147 a barrel, by the time they pulled off oil was below USD70 a barrel and falling = route covering it's costs and more. But by then UBA were calling the shots and they were convinced (alledgely)that Virgin were using the route as a method to get the money out of VK = wrong!
2) Within weeks of them pulling off London the CBN effectively shut down the Forex system in Nigeria. VK's access to hard international currency to pay international suppliers -which all airlines need - was effectively cut off. UBA didn't see that coming as they were too busy saving their own skin from the impending CBN clampdown on banks.
3) Everyone at VK HQ was convinced that the Nigerian Domestic Routes are profitable - hmm how many Nigerian airlines will still claim that is true?
Just think what VK could have achieved if they had access to the W3 A340 Long Haul product rather than 2 very worn out unreliable B767.
NYC/LON are not set up to make money for W3, it's obvious, Arik Air pay HiFly who pay Arik Air International = a great way to move funds out of Nigeria, A very patriotic airline as advertised in This Day.
Another patriotic question... why do the top jobs at W3 only get advertised overseas and not on their website under careers?
