Nauru Airlines anniversary

[kitchen bench]

Many in Nauru Airlines are rejoicing that one year ago today, Friday 13th 2019, saw the end of what many consider was a regime of inept management, an atmosphere of bullying and an environment where staff morale was driven to an absolute low.

Twelve months ago a new management was installed by the Nauruan government. Had that not happened the airline, in the minds of most people who were still there at the time (aka those who hadn’t been purged) would have folded by now.

Except for the Three Stooges, who says Friday the thirteenth last year was unlucky???

Well, three years since Huey, Dewey and Louie (remember those Disney character ducks) were told to duck off from the airline that was slowly grinding into the ground.


It is now run by a chairman and a board, along with many dedicated and happy staff (unlike in previous times) who believe in the place and work tirelessly to see things continue to get better. Nobody there is interested in their own personal gain to the disadvantage of others. Nobody has lost their their job because a few in power developed a personal dislike of them despite their capabilities. Nobody tells repeated and boring war stories about themselves these days either.


I wonder if there was any accountability where, allegedly, tens of thousands of company $$$$'s was spent trying to find out who some Pprune posters were - a waste of time, hadn't they heard of VPN's? The feeling back then was that they were being pursued out of vindictiveness and a wish to punish. Despite the efforts, it must irk never having found out who Pacific Spy was - and plenty of us would like to know that answer.


Anyway, those there now are hopeful of a continuing bright future which is quite the opposite to what was happening before Friday the13th of September in 2019.


Well, I'm off for a cup of tea (j) and a "marinated" steak although the thought of either makes me want to puke.

Yet another year has passed since the despised management got turfed out. Don’t believe anything where one of them has said, at a recent aviator’s talk, that it was his decision to leave. He seems oblivious to the fact that there will always be some in the audience who know what really happened.

Fitting, too, that it appears that the -800 freighter will be flying before long. This is the one t-Bag spoke of as an urgency to get at a staff meeting after the director’s junket in late 2017/early 2018 at Sanctuary Cove (sorry, meeting – the one where the unknown and yet to be appointed CEO attended – no surprise he was a mate) . It took a current and capable subsequent management to bring that about rather than their (los trios ringbarkus) chasing pie-in-the-sky prospects that, purportedly, were going to benefit the airline.

No-one misses those three, no one!
