Earlier this year we learned that James Hogan would be stepping down as Etihad’s CEO in the second half of the year.Hogan’s strategy has largely been based around Etihad’s ”equity alliance,” where they’ve invested hundreds of millions of dollars in airlines like airberlin, Alitalia, etc.

As much as people over the pond like to believe that it is all fun and games in the ME3, these are real businesses with real money , employees/stakeholders and and contracts in place.
I do not see Emirates letting go of Mueller without an early exit fine or penalty, and it takes a while to settle into a company. He cannot and will not leave this soon.
This would be a smart move. I'd expect Mueller to exit as many equity investments as possible and focus on etihads strengths which are as a very premium, almost boutique airline.
Well I'm just waiting for EY to deactive a reactivated deactivated 747 then I'll be happy.
A Reader, you realize that many keyboards don't have 'ü' and you may opt to spell ü as ue. Pretty much everywhere in the world you have to transcribe ü as ue.
@A Reader, Its perfectly fine to write Müller as Mueller just like Straßße can be written as Strasse. Most Müllers have their emails as [email protected]
Wow it just seems like Mueller is jumping from one airline to the next in less than a year (he was MH CEO for less than a year and has only been at EK for also less than a year.) I'm still unconvinced he majorly helped MH but then again I wasn't even sure whether MH could be saved. I wish him the best though and hope he can turn EY around for the better.
Your ignore shows - obviously m you are clueless about what an i-bank is or what it does.
I think the move, if true, has the blessing of Emirates. He will clean up the Etihad mess, then the airlines will merge and he will become the CEO of the United Emirates Airlines.
So much nonsensical misinformation about German spelling... ironically, in the English comments section of a blog written by a fluent German speaker!
Mueller is perfectly acceptable (unless you are writing in German on a German keyboard).
And it's Straße, not Straßße.
Hopefully Etihad will be more accommodating of Herr Mueller than Malaysia Airlines was, such that he will not experience further "personal reasons" for leaving :p
