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... FBW |
Interesting but not surprising as this has been rumoured for months now.
The only problem is that we are rapidly running out of people to blame for our own inadequacies....;) |
Very Good News. How ever speculation regarding the Arabic speaker CEO is not true.I am in.:}
|
The about turn on the 777 may have been a hint.
|
If true this is fantastic news!
Where did I put that champaign bottle? |
GulfAirCEO, you've got the teeth to prove it :)
|
It was about time!
Great news for GF. It took only a few months for Dose, and years for this tosser. Good luck guys to a better future.
|
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? |
AS IT GOES WITH BAHRAIN, SO IT GOES WITH GULF AIR!!
|
The TV Show "Mythbusters" actually proved that you can polish a turd.
|
Spencer Stuart is an Executive headhunter/recruitment company.
Interested?:E |
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.

Let's see:

The GDN reported that BN attended a GF ceremony for launching the 3 new "temporary" routes over the summer. It seems no one told him he was fired.
|
I had a cup of tea with BN yesterday - I wondered why he didn't leave yet then I remembered it was a rumour
|
WY is looking for DO
BN can apply to WY just like the Omani's going home to WY, :ok:
no problem at all for WY same standard and qualification:confused: |
Lets hope it's not the same spencer who recomanded the two morons to QR for a CPT & VPFO position:confused: one of them told to step down and the other is waiting for his verdict:{
|
It will be offical today.
|
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. :ouch: Oh well:)
