Filion,
An unusually scathing response to the 'rumour network' from you. Anyone who's been at EK more than 8 yrs knows the significant changes to working conditions endured by pilots. They would also know, regardless of their 'knowledge of management ', that EK is in downward spiral. We all know the basic product and advertising is for the most part still amazing. Work conditions are increasingly appalling and only ever getting worst. Mueller, if he were to actually come to EK will have his hands full. He is on record for saying that talking to those on the 'floor' almost always provides true insight into a company's true position. Restructuring also cannot be accomplished with the same management. If he shows up here, he will either fail spectacularly, quit, or hopefully, disrupt a seriously defective cadre of local management. His effectiveness, or lack thereof, will be a true measure of how serious the govt of Dubai is to run a truly world leading airline. Let's see! Let's hope M does show up here. It'll be interesting.
