Malaysia Airlines’ CEO To Work For Emirates

Any fool can cut services, cut staff and cut quality, hoping that the cuts will be invisible to the traveling public. Mueller is just that ----- he cuts and doesn't understand how to build. Tim Clark has led Emirates from nowhere to be the world's high quality, most prestigious air carrier, and all that Mueller can do is to cut and cut. Tim Clark has buried other carriers by imposing huge capacity into key markets, USA carriers especially, helped by Emirates having no income tax burden that requires staff overpayment just to cover taxes, and unlimited financing for aircraft by the government. He's done well. But Mueller doesn't have that vision since all that he knows is cut - cut - cut. He's the kind of guy who will take the olive out of the Martini, or reduce the available movies in the entertainment system, or buy cheaper toilet paper. There are not many CEOs that are worse than Mueller. I totally disagree with the author of this article.

The Malay gov hired a foreigner to fire 6000 locals. He did his job and moved on. MH was a failure BEFORE the 2 accidents. Now the Malaysian press, government and people can blame a foreigner for decades of their own corrupt mistakes.

Christoph Mueller , toke the job at MAS for the salary package , and coming to Emirates for the same reason , Emirates will soon face or possible already over staffed , EK stop hiring now , and soon they will reduce staff !!! , Chirs is there for CLEARING job , and possible CEO after Tim Clark,

CM may be one of the best in the industry. BUT, the main factors (mentioned above) for MH coming to profit by cutting down on employs or by grounding B777 fleet or by reducing the sectors.... doesn't look so convincing to me. Almost all the airlines of the world are making profit these days, thanks to the low fuel prices. There's no point reducing the staff of lower grade (I'm sure out of 6000 job cuts, most would be low grade and not the managers who take the major chunk and get max airline benefits). The B777 aircraft is one of the best in the industry (look at EK or SIL or BA). More sectors should be flown looking at the seat factor. There are many other ways of cost cutting for an airline like providing better services, on time performance, inflight entertainment, competitive ticket prices to attract more customers. Cost cutting can be by reducing on sponsorships and by giving NO free bees to the politicians. Aircrafts should be used maximum, reduction on ground time. I'm sure, if CM is the best, he must have looked into all these factors as well.

Putting locals in charge at EK !!!!!? hahahaha Thats why they are hiring this man, the "locals" ignored the "white managers" and played around with the hiring of pilots, and now they are stuck between massive crew shortages, staff leaving in droves because of the "local" rostering protocols, and the idiot savants claimed to be managers! This man will probably be used to draft new hiring practices, contracts and maybe just maybe, bases outside of Dubai to help with recruitment! As it stands, they need to interview over 3000 people a year just to break even with the amount of pilots leaving! lol. Talk about ignoring pilot conditions until its too late! I'll go work for them, if they start having bases outside Dubai or reverse rostering!
