Nisu bile glasine, bilo je ozbiljno. Povukli su poteze - na nazad. Za sada nista.Obe firme su to rekle.

evo i Continental - Source: Bloomberg newswires/ employee news letter

Dear Co-worker:We've always said that you deserve open, honest and direct communication.This letter and the attached employee bulletin and Q&A are part of thatcommitment.The airline industry is in a crisis. Its business model doesn't work withthe current price of fuel and the existing level of capacity in themarketplace. We need to make changes in response.While there have been several successful fare increases, those increaseshaven't been sufficient to cover the rising cost of fuel. As fares increase,fewer customers will fly. As fewer customers fly, we will need to reduce ourcapacity to match the reduced demand. As we reduce our capacity, we will needfewer employees to operate the airline. Although these changes will bepainful, we must adapt to the reality of today's market to successfullynavigate these difficult times.The attached employee bulletin and Q&A outline some of the steps we aretaking to address this industry crisis. The situation for all airlines isserious, and the actions we are announcing today are necessary to secure ourfuture. We regret the loss of jobs caused by this crisis, and we will do ourbest to minimize furloughs and involuntary terminations.These actions will help Continental survive this crisis. You have ourongoing commitment to keep you informed as the industry evolves and adapts tothese unprecedented challenges. It is important that we all keep our focus onworking together during these difficult times.Co-worker ImpactAs a result of the capacity reductions, Continental will need fewerco-workers worldwide to support the reduced flight schedule. About 3,000positions, including management positions, will be eliminated throughvoluntary and involuntary separations, with the majority expected to be through voluntary programmesNetwork ChangesStarting in September, at the conclusion of the peak summer season,Continental will reduce its flights, with fourth quarter domestic mainlinedepartures to be down 16 percent year-over-year. This will result in areduction of domestic mainline capacity (available seat miles, or ASMs) by 11percent in the fourth quarter, compared to the same period last year.By the end of next week, Continental will provide details on specificflights and destinations that are subject to reduction or elimination.

Propast.Pola covecanstva uziva u subvencionisanom gorivu.Ako Kina i Indija ne ukinu subvencije za gorivo, ode sve u pm.Malezija je ukinula pre neki dan i cene goriva su skocile 41%. Koliko je to para: pre ukidanja, izdaci za subvencionisanje goriva u Maleziji su bili veci nego izdaci za vojsku, obrazovanje i zdravstvo zajedno!

S obzirom da su cene nafte veće nego ikad nije čudno što neke države pokušavaju da subvencijama smanje pritisak na cene. Ipak, to ima veze s celom privredom, avijacija je tu samo mali deo.

Ne pokusavaju...nego ne znaju kako da prekinu vec postojece subvencije. Podsetimo se, nemiri u Burmi su poceli dan nakon ukidanja subvencija za gorivo.U Indiji, to bi dovelo do masovnih pobuna. U najvecoj demokratskoj zemlji na planeti, glasaci bi unistili vlast.U Kini bi verovatno dovelo do nemira koji bi unistili Olimpijadu a jos se vise vlasti plae da bi to spralo i njih (sa vlasti).Ta perverzna situacija gde siromasne a mnogoljudne ekonomije unistavaju zapadni svet koji je smanjio portosnju i traznju ima jos da potraje.Avijacija je prva zrtva.

Da se jos malo nadovezem na prethodno.eTour, firma koja prodaje discount tickets from JapaneTourje odjednom odlucila da se vise ne primaju uplate preko kreditnih kartica. Od 6. do 30. juna.Primaju uplate preko banaka.Razlog koji su naveli je "maintenance of credit card payment system".Give me a break, ne postoji japanska firma koja bi to rekla. 24 dana "maintenance"? Ne bih verovao ni da su rekli 24 sata.Sta je po sredi: avijacija je pred odlukama da obustavi neke linije, pare uplacene preko kreditnih kartica se tesko i dugo refundiraju. Preko banaka, mnogo lakse.Znaci, sledi frka. Jul 1. je dan kade obustave tih letova stupaju na snagu i agencija jos ne zna koje letove moze da prodaje a koje ne (oni imaju zakupljena sedista na 6 meseci unapred) i ne znaju koji se unapred prodati letovi nece odraditi. Opet, ne mogu da kazu svojim kupcima da prestanu da kupuju karte preko njih.

Jesu li već neke obustavili ili bar najavili ili samo tako pretpostavljaš?

Thai Airways (TG) obustavlja direktne letove BKK-JFK od 1. jula.BKK-LAX direktne letove smanjuje sa 9 na 5 nedeljno.Qantas (QF) obustavlja MEL-NRT.Stvar je da agencija ne zna ko ce sta da obustavi ne 1. jula nego u 6. meseci i jednostavno ne primaju uplate preko CC jer se sporo i tesko refundiraju.

China Airlines is axing 100 passenger flights a month, mainly to the U.S. and Asia, spokesman Bruce Chen said by phone today. EVA Air will cancel about 5 percent of its passenger services from Sept. 1 to Dec. 1, said spokeswoman Katherine Ko.The airlines follow Qantas Airways Ltd., China Southern Airlines Co. and other Asia-Pacific carriers in announcing cuts after surcharges failed to cover surging jet-fuel costs. Higher ticket prices have also helped damp travel demand, with Taiwanese residents making 0.8 percent fewer flights overseas in the first quarter than a year earlier.The Taiwanese carriers ``lose money from every flight they make,'' said Bruce Tsao, an analyst at Capital Securities Corp. in Taipei. ``They don't have any choice'' except making cuts.

Smeju, kako da ne. Samo lokalne zenske koje imaju taj nivo "English skills" nece da se zezaju za tako male pare i tako los posao. 32-38K dollars a year.Rade nesto drugo (ili nista).Ako ih ima, po Emirates & Qatar se pojavljuju kao shefice osoblja.Masovno Poljakinje. One dve - Svedjanka i Engleskinja, su dosle za isti sto u KFC pa smo malo pricali.

Qantas, moj ponos, pokazuje znake starenja flote.Ovaj avion, VH-OJK (na stolu mi je maketa Qantas B-747-400 sa bas tom registracijom : VH-OJK) me je prevezao 3 puta SYD-LAX 1996 i 1998.17 godina star, od 1991. Nekad je bio nov a ne postaje nista noviji sa godinama koje prolaze.Qantas B-747 400 VH-OJKA Melbourne-bound Qantas Boeing 747 with a large gash in its fuselage was forced to make an emergency landing today after a terrifying 20,000 foot drop.The plane, carrying 350 passengers, had taken off from Hong Kong and was diverted to Manila after what was described as "rapid decompression".Passengers said they heard a loud bang as oxygen masks dropped.Koja rupcaga, jos se desila u letu:
