Lets not forget, the next IATA chairman was to be Turkish Airlines CEO who was offered the position but at last minute and clearly due political pressure from folks like Christine Lagarde they pushed to find a new home for unemployed Juniac. |
Oh my. Another demonstration how obsession with a certain idea (in this case: de Juniac is terrible) can lead to creative thinking and outright lying.
1) Christine Lagarde, at the
IMF, exercised political pressure to jave de Juniac as CEO of IATA? Ridiculous. Yes, we know, he worked for her before, but that doesn't mean that she exercises political pressure. On whom? Which levers would she use?
IMF funds? The
IMF Board would intervene in such a case.
2) Unemployed Juniac? You do realise that he is not unemployed, he is still employed as CEO of AFKL until September 1st. The day he announced that he is stepping down there was noone else lined up to replace him, so this was not a matter of the board sacking the CEO as the board would have had a replacement in place, and be it only one of the board members to act as the interim CEO (as has happened in other large corporations where they sacked the CEO overnight before having a replacement) - so clearl, he is/was not unemployed. He is just absolutely fed up with eternal whiners from the unions who refuse to wake up to reality, and I can't blame him.
3) The CEO of
TK was never going to be the CEO of IATA

I can see how QR and even other IATA members that supported TK chairmanship raise their eyebrows about a very dull person like Juniac leading the group and what his agenda might be. |
Could you please expand on how not being dull is the one criteria that will make other airlines raise an eyebrow or not? Wouldn't they care about other things rather than dullness?
