Changes at Air Niugini

I love this quote (from the news release): “The combined experience and qualifications of Sir Kostas and Mr Jepson, and of the other current directors of the board of Air Niugini will help us turn Air Niugini around easily, provide better services, and finally pay real dividends to the shareholders who are the people of Papua New Guinea,” Mr Duma said.

Might as well add "In other news, we have discovered golden unicorns in the Bosavi area wich we plan to begin harvesting shortly..."

Hmmm. One of those is certainly well versed in the art of graft and corruption....

Information to hand is that PX never paid for them in full. Just a deposit which they lost.

This deal was originally brokered by the current CEO.

Even better Business

I have been asked to post the following opinion with regards to the post above - Government makes amend - so the original author cannot be identified:

déjà vu all over again and again…and yet again..

This article could have been written practically word for word about half a dozen times over the last mmmm…let’s say ohh 30 odd years. I only go back to 1980s-- beyond that I can’t comment.

Only changes here are a few names –and one notable (read level 2 alert flashing light) returnee to a position that allows access to the honey pot that is Kumul Holdings -and thus PX-

Ask yourself the question after reading this article-“what is going to change at PX” or “what will be done differently at PX?. As far as the tech crew are concerned, the answer is quite obvious--nothing. Zero. Nada.

The status quo will officially remain—perhaps because it has served certain interests so well for so long. The same people with the same management abilities and attitudes towards their tech staff will still be in control , regardless of whose name is on the paperwork or office door.

Not much of interest in the article, but my eye was particularly drawn to this statement: -

The combined experience and qualifications of Sir Kostas and Mr Jepson, and of the other current directors of the board of Air Niugini will help us turn Air Niugini around easily

What is touching or pathetic or simply interesting in the Chinese sense, is the certainty that there will be dramatic changes in outcomes after changing nothing. That’s a definition of something .

I assume from this official notification that Einstein will be finally proved wrong by the towering intellect residing in and around ANGH. Who knew?

Nothing will change and nothing will make it change—no, not even “that.”

The ejection seat was a good idea, I always thought.

As for the CEO, yes but I have been asked not to post anything just yet.

For the others, no but live in hope.
There have been more departures since 2015. 130 in total.

Now I know why.

How many 100's of thousands in training, and the lost revenue due to cancelled flights caused by "Low Stock Flight Crew" did the last cost cutting to Flt Ops cost, ............and the one before that!!!

Here they go AGAIN!!!!!

Management take note........ "Low Stock Flight Crew" (and "Low Stock Engineers") is a lot different to "Nil Stock Toilet Tissue, Soap, Blankets etc etc."

Now..... "Nil Stock current Management" might be a start to recovery!!!

"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
