GF Board sacks CEO...
GF Board sacks CEO Bjoern Naef
A friend in London just confirmed to me that the Chairman al Zain has asked Spencer Stuart to look out for a new CEO...finally good news ? No, as the key qualification of the new guy seems to be that he must speak arabic...nothing about turnaround experience, fleet planning etc.
So all the rumours about BN's exit seem to be true....does he know about it ? I would think so...

I suppose it was a long time coming but I bet they will find another useless scapegoat & put him there then they have someone to blame for the company's lack of improvement or vision. Anyway, just another chapter in GF's long history of making people very wealthy & giving them something to write on their ridiculoulsy bare CV's. The saying "You cannot polish a turd." springs to mind.
We have had numerous useless toothless CEOs that eventually get the axe but the board always come out clean & smelling like roses. I guess the s*** doesn't stick to the guys with their teflon thobes!
By the way who is Spencer Stuart?

I was always under the impression that if a CEO left or was sacked he was removed from the building and systems ASAP.
Funnilly enough Bjorn is still in the Pink Palace today big and bold as ever
I think this story is total balderdash

sirwa69, you might be correct. It seems as if the usual dimwitted pilot that thinks he's a better manager than pilot got his facts wrong(again). It's amazing how these guys can't just do their own job without thinking that they have a better grasp on how to run the ship. Hah, they can barely do what they've been trained to do in the first place. Run along little doggieeee.

Changes going on in Gulf Air... what will Naf and Fitze do now? Is it true Cain is leaving as well? I almost feel sorry for the poor Swiss guys as they have huge egos and now they have nothing. Oh well
