Air Mauritius under the projectors by the new government
The scandals of the last minute A350 purchase before the elections is under investigation. The new government is already having information of the corrupt and unfair decisions the board and CEO took to approve the deal. Seems money and commissions are involved under the table. Heads should come down.
Also, the Lufthansa consultancies for outsourcing local pilot recruitment is highly questionable. Complaints made by Mauritian pilots were made to the EOC (Equal Opportunity Commission) and the previous government managed to delay the issue. Now, things are coming out and there will be consequences.
Air Mauritius is still a biased institution when it comes to fair and equal opportunities for employment of crew.
There are rumors that the actual CEO is having a secret hiring company to recruit pilots, mostly foreign first officers. There are rumors that commissions are paid to him for each new recruit coming to the airline.
The figures speak for themselves when expat and local recruitment are verified. Local pilots are soon making a move to denounce this unfair practice.
If he is now doing a no show, it's not new considering the scandals coming up.
