Our Old Romeo, Beauties in the AIR and the losses.
(Lanka-e-News- 06.Feb.2014, 11.00PM) The old Chairman of Sri Lankan Airlines who is swayed and tuned by the young females of the flight crew has done it again. His body looks slim but his eye bags have the old Moses story written all over. Every time he comes out of his igloo the man shows his ignorance and people at meetings and functions never miss a laugh at his expense. The senior crew has stories to say and the young ladies call him Neesh…….No wonder the Paris bound flight took off leaving eighty French tourist all in hotels at the expense of loss making Sri Lankan Airlines.
His legendary Rolex watch which was given by an Airline CEO of the Middle East origin, for uninterrupted traffic freedoms into Sri Lanka, was a famous topic in media. In fact the man in vain put his own son in Australia on a spot; the poor fellow had to do loads of explaining to his friends.
The crew says now the Chairman’s trips to Dubai also has minimised after the departure of his protected babe (SR) who had him by his collar running Dubai station and even his own life at one point. This was an entertaining topic in every Sri Lankan gathering in Dubai at the time.
Airline knowledge is not required when a Chairman is placed there politically, like all other past Chairman’s had done. He can enjoy the company of all his favourite chicks, on either sides and light the traditional oil lamps all over the world but seniors says for God’s sake he should keep away from the airline business. He thinks he knows all about aviation and he selects people from no where to run key businesses and all senior managers keeps watching, letting him run the show. The Airline insiders say the airline has dropped in standards to, worse than Air Lanka days.
Very soon Sri Lankan airline is joining one world alliance, on the other side the low cost Mihin Lanka is hanging on to it’s tail, another Mara’s egoistic ventures. Both these airlines are run with pure ignorance and little airline knowledge. Both airlines are losing value by hooking on to each other. Both run by one Chairman, one CEO, in Aviation this is wrong chemistry. Totally Different levels of product, most passengers walk away from both after their first joint travel experience. Both airlines cannot reach their own success in their own accord, focusing on an independent drive for its own good.
Shamelessly, CEO is going on media requesting for another loan of USD250 million, who would want to risk money to a bed ridden airline run by pure politically interested parties to a politically drawn agenda. Already in gasping with losses over 20billion rupees, only a hawkish bank will come forward with plans to further drain the airline, may be to end up in litigation similar to the experience had with CPC hedging. If at all, let some one buy the airline and run with its own management and run it profitably, without ridiculing the pioneer aviation people in the airline, just watching it going to pits.
Himadon.
