well dear colleagues; the post of nose door shows where the problem is: sounds to me like the typical Lux deskjockey in his overstaffed office being p****d off because he cant´t go on all these wonderful trips. You wouldn´t believe the number of "managers", "heads of", "vice presidents" and "senior VP´s" we have in this company.

They do not seem to understand that they all live off a fleet of 14 A/C that have to be kept going by technicians that work day and night, a good sales team and finally by the crews who frequently exceed theit duty limits to get the job done.

especially interesting is his understanding of aviation:
quote: "its managements job to have a poor relationship with the crews"!!!

That says it all....

BTW nose door when have you been in your office for 16 to 20 hours the last time? Of course before crawling under mummys blanket every night.

your attacks on foreigners working in lux is appaling. They need them - its that simple. Train more burgers and you might be able to send them home and finally live in peace.:cool:

Are you "transmitting your vibes" from the future (?) :8

Are we too busy "learning the org-chart by heart" to know "Who`s Who"?, so that we can't get current fleet status correct, "Mr 4R7F" :E

;)

B.T.W. I think "nose door" got it "spot on" as to "How you are so absolutely correct about justifying your un-happiness" :p "

Well i'm glad if my "morale boosting" post has given you a little hope, and that they're are some of your colleagues who work as hard or harder then you...in a couple of posts time you may even come out and say your happy to be working for a "solid company" that continually puts bread and caviar in your pocket.
But i some how feel that if you were to leave us, then the company would fall into the clutches of bankruptcy, due to the complete miss-management that you are so well informed of....so your noted effort is much appreciated.
I know all about working in an office on the 33rd-39th floor, but instead on moaning 16-20 hours, try reading a comic book might i suggest superman or even the rear pages of flight international for added inspiration:D

Thanks god there are people like you saving us from the greed and lazyness of the crews.

I shall include you in my evening prayers!:ok:

Luxembourg / Washington, January 26, 2005 - AIR TRANSPORT WORLD
MAGAZINE, the monthly magazine covering the global air industry, has named
Luxembourg-based CARGOLUX Airlines International S.A. the “CARGO
AIRLINE OF THE YEAR 2005”. As ATW notes in its press release on the
2005 winners : “Cargolux belongs to the elite group of European network
carriers that have been profitable for the past five years “, adding that Cargolux
“understands that its home market isn’t the Grand-Duchy, nor even Europe, but
rather world trade itself”.
The award ceremony will take place in Washington DC on 22 February 2005.
“We are honoured and very proud to receive this distinction by Air Transport World”,
says CEO and President of Cargolux Uli Ogiermann. “This reward is a recognition of
the efforts delivered daily by our people worldwide and of our commitment to shape
our network and our operations to the specific needs of the markets. I also want to
thank our customers for this award. Their partnership with Cargolux made this
success possible “.
After 35 years of company history, Cargolux has become Europe’s largest all-cargo
carrier and established itself among the top ten cargo airlines worldwide. In 2004,
the company achieved its eleventh profitable year in a row. In 2004 Cargolux also
achieved an outstanding performance, as CEO Ulrich Ogiermann stated in a recent
interview with ATW : “It’s quite a substantial jump when you reach the 1 billion
USD revenue gap; it is the barrier that divides the smaller companies from the more
advanced companies. To remain profitable is a great achievement as well”.
A dedicated workforce of 1,300, many of whom having a long working record with
the company, a worldwide presence based on a sound network of destinations
implemented in the frame of a globalization-driven business orientation, a customer
philosophy that focuses on forwarders’ needs and a pure freighter fleet composed of
currently 13 Boeing 747-400F freighters, all these caracteristics join to make
Cargolux a premium and one of the most performing cargo airlines in the global cargo
worldwide business.

Glad to hear that "Cargolux
“understands that its home market isn’t the Grand-Duchy..."
So those big planes might come in useful afrer all! :D

.... so where did the original "vultures" come from?
