Jambo Jet
Any rumour on K.A. subsidiary Jambo Jet ?
Jetlink is awakening and might tie with FastJet which will gang up on Kenya Airways' market share and with the downturn in Kenya's economy likely after recent events, J.A. was K.A.'s armour to fend off LCC competition. Will it also awaken the roaring Lion?
This should translate into a windfall of employment opportunities for unemployed Kenyan Pilots let us hope it is true!
Will applicants apply via standard direct entry K.A. scheme? Will jambo host its own career website?
An ex KLM Dutch Mr.Willem...has already been given the Mandate for the post of CEO by "Dr" Naikuni.
Initially they were to operate K.A. E-jets but now due to capacity limitations K.A. will lend them their old 737-300 -good move to escape rising costs on K.A. by trimming its old fat but not a good move for Jambo if high utilization and dispatch reliability is factored in as it should for an LCC carrier in my opinion.
Likely they will seek rated and experienced pilots.Likely they will get from their PW stock too...and help alleviate PW's current plight.
Monitor cabin crew recruitment at Jambo to provide further leads!
