As a publicly traded company, it is inherent that Jazeera ensure sustainable profitability for the shareholders.
The market has been hit hard by overcapacity, low yields and weak load factors. Jazeera has been one of the fastest growing airlines in the region. It appears that the time has come to circle the wagons and take a more defensive position to ensure profitability, future growth and maintain the current route network. For the time being this will be done with six aircraft.
Jazeera also wholly owns Shahab Leasing which has secured a lease on at least 4 or so of the eleven aircraft on property. This once again will enhance bottom line profitabilty and put Jazeera in a postion grow when the market conditions permit.
It was really unfortunate to see good folks let go, but this is the airline business. In my career I have seen numerous layoffs, furloughs and once great companies go out of business.

My dear jimmyg
what about telling the thruth?You hired last batch of pilots 6 months ago and now you fired them plus many others....you failed guys!Your maths were wrong.
this is not airline business this is monkey business
.Do you think that you will be able to find again crews ready to join????
Oh yes maybe your "permanent"contract will be very attractive...fly for peanuts or fly 100 hrs to get a good salary...that's for sure the target of every pilot of the world.
And congratulations about your propaganda...but i don't think that will continue to be as good as it was.

I whole heartly agree, damage has been done. Who knows what the future may hold. Stowed the crystal ball long ago.
My hope is that for those who are gone better opportunities arise. For us that are still here we can all maintain positive professional attitudes.
I really cannot get myself in a knot over airline business. No matter what happens in the office or how much I disagree with policy and management decisions. I can only take care of my passengers, crew and do my utmost to provide the safest and most efficient flight possible. Enjoy my days off with the family and collect my paycheck. That way I can sleep soundly at night.
Although interesting to discuss; to use a qoute "nothing personel it is just business"

HI friends,
I'm one of 23 Captain terminated on 12 May. We received a call at about 1730pm to May 11, where we informed that we were fired and had to 1000am at the office for the day May 12. The next day we wanted to sign a letter unilaterally where we took our terminations without just cause. Nobody wanted to sign ... However we are still waiting for the money ... The 23 Captains and 3 FO have this nationality:
15 CAPT and 2 FO Spanish
6 CAPT Italian
1 CAPT potoghese
1 CAPT Dutch
1 FO USA
It 's a shame because it did not follow any criterion of seniority list to keep sxxt like them Arabs
.
We had a contract "PERMANENT"

What are the reasons behind the latest movements? Excessive expansion? Under capitalisation? How are the load factors? Perhaps Wataniya is taking a greater toll on them than they anticipated. KUW is a small pond after all.
Never good when folks lose their jobs but when it happens in this part of the world it is usually the expats that get the shaft and not the 'habeebees'...

JIMMYG, Thank god in your second post you "wholeheartedly agreed".
This talk about the interests of share holders makes the hair in my neck stand up. (dutch expression)
I know, I know, shareholders are important but most of them are only interested in financial return and have no involvement in the daily running whatsoever.
All of the beancounters and (brainwashed) flightdept. managers have gotten used to this way of thinking/behaving and bear with it to finance their own asses, what a shame.
But then, unfortunately, this is real life and we have to deal with it until.....it maybe turns around sometime. The financial crisis might just be the start of that change.
Perhaps people come just a little bit more first again, instead of money. Who knows. Wishful thinking or.....?

Yes my friend we do live in a bottom line kind of world. It is a real balancing act to reduce costs and maintain profitability.
I have always been of the school that one hires the best and brightest and reward those employees for their hard work and dedication. The word "team" nowadays just seems to be an over rot catch phrase for inept managment. One needs to create a corporate culture of an inner sense of excellence, with a desire to serve. This of course is much easier said than done in todays what is in it for me work environment.
One of the most successful models for a company has been Southwest Airlines. Herb Kelleher has shown what can be done for an employee group with outstanding leadership skills. " NUTS! SouthWest Airlines Recipe for Business and Personel Sucess " should be mandatory reading for all those who wish to manage.
"If the employees come first, then they're happy, ... A motivated employee treats the customer well. The customer is happy so they keep coming back, which pleases the shareholders. It's not one of the enduring Green mysteries of all time, it is just the way it works"

Hi guys,
i think the problem is no the business... the problem is the management:
last year the ex CEO was fired becouse he rubish 5.000.000 EURO;
the OPS managment have business over the recruitment (agency, layover,simulator and line check...)
The last news is that they won't hire 18 pilots (future Captain DEC) ex Kuwait Air Force C130 Hercules and 10 cadet pilot are already in UK oxford aviation academy.
This company is creasy they loss the compass...
