Sounds like jumping from Frying pan into the fire !!!!

After the incompetence shown in managing Ocean into the ground this proposal beggars belief !!!!!

master, I see that your comments are always very negative on the subject. Probably bcse you have befired from him? According to me, he jumped on Ocean when the Company, unfortunately, was already spolied, and he had the courage to put his face on this.

For info I was not fired by him or have anything to do with him.
However from what I know he was CEO when airline went bankrupt so he cannot turn around and say he had nothiing to do with its closure.

master, your comments from a very generic and basic point of view, are fully acceptable, but, without taking the part of the former CEO of Ocean Airlines, in the industry is absolutely well-known what happened and which were the real causes.

The CEO jumped on a very distressed situation, changed all the management team, but could not perform as per expectations, for reasons that were not directly related to his and his team intentions.

Anyway, this is part of history now......

If this was reason or reasons why Ocean failed why did he not say it when airline closed down instead of using the excuse of economic slowdown and high fuel prices.
He shoule have been honest to himself at least

master, this is the difference between a man with balls and a man without balls.
Too easy to put finges in front of people.
But this is just my opinion, man, no more than this

hi masterawb
As you know I was in Ocean, and I knew the CEO (not very well but I had the possibility to talk personally with him a couple of times).
I remember he had some meeting with all the employees and he always told us the truth regarding the status of the Company (probably going against the instructions of the owners of the Airline)
Than, probably, his position forced him to looks always positive even if the reality was different and maybe this was his big mistake, but at least he did not told "big" lies to the employees.
But now it's history.
So good luck for his new idea.

Its a great pity that it was not made public that that the real reason for the downfall of Ocean lay with the Chairman...... Who knows what port of the world he now resides in .......

You may not know what port he resides in but be rest assured he will have sufficient money to live a good life :ok:

[masterairwaybill]

Why wouldnt he have since most of it was hived away illegally from Ocean to line his and his Austrian,Russian and American colleagues.

If there is any justice (which I doubt) his day will come...
