Thai Airways opens application for new CEO who has vision, ethics, integrity agile and is tech savvy

[webfact]

 

By Thanaphum Charoensombatpanich

Embattled national carrier – Thai Airways International Plc (THAI), has announced that it was in search of a ‘Chief Executive Officer’ who is ‘ethical’ and has ‘exemplified integrity’.

 

These demands come for an airline that has been infamous over the decades for being the most corrupt organization.

 

THAI, which has not made operating profit since its last profit reported in 2016, only reported a profit of 55.12 billion Baht all due to restructuring cost and not due to operations as most of the airline’s fleet were grounded as Thailand’s tourism industry was battered due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

Good luck to the CEO trying to reform an over-staffed, heavily indebted ,govt company.

Half the fleet will have to go too.

Global recession and tourism still in the doledrums from covid.

Doesn't look good.

'integrity agile' - does this mean his integrity is quick to move.  There's no Thai business men/women with the above qualifications AKA 'hindrances' in trade circles.

[ezzra]

This person also should be, honest, fair and knows his ways running an airlines and not someone who get the job because of his connections...

in that case no candidates will show up.... everybody knows the airline is controlled by a higher "inaccessible" power

1.  Elect an accomplished foreigner as Airlines CEO

2.  He/She should be allowed to bring his/her own staff along with him/her (PC enough??)

3.  All current board members need to be retired, or if not tenured, fired.

4.  All current support contracts need to be scrutinized - expecially for the Som Chai Cousins that are providing Thai Airways meals.

5.  New CEO and Staff be afforded 24/7 personal security from a Foreign Company, with no Thai employees.   As surely when these above steps are taken, their lives will be in danger.

Peace

Sir Tim Clark would be a nice choice. His track record reminds me of Juan Trippe......

They are obviously looking for me. I can work from Perth as long as I can fly in the hookers from Bangkok on first class seats.

[JimHuaHin]

Ummm ... the only hope is a foreign CEO.

[Mises]

Small print:

Only ex Thai Air Force Air Marshals need apply

Most of the fleet is still parked at swampy, other airlines are back to normal yet Thai only operating at a fraction of their previous capacity, can't see them being able to turn this around quickly.

[ThailandRyan]

My Brown envelope was supposedly to small they rejected my application and sent back the empty envelope with a note saying application fees can not be returned even if the application was denied....sigh

What other airlines are back to normal pray tell.  Can you name them please.  So many routes have been abandoned and not restarted....

Prawit has just applied after losing his gig as "Prime Ministerial Sleeping Beauty". He believes he excels in the agility component.

Yes he can do the obstacle course better than Prayut as he has the stop watches.....

If they keep changing flight times like they did to us the other day, just when we had everything booked including connecting flights and hotels, they'll be less a couple of travellers each year from this end.

Cost enough as it is having to now transit bruddy Sydney, now extra flights, extra hotel stays.

[Pattaya Spotter]

Only cashiered Royal Thai Air Force generals need apply ????

Stated requirement is that the CEO must be Thai national.

 

My suggestion to any CEO candidiate would be demand a gurantee that all of the current Thai management* staff must go and quickly. Seems to me if they remain they will continue all the current/old attitudes, behaviors and ethics and won't follow any new policies etc., given by any new CEO. 

*All managers, all levels including all levels of supervisors. 

 

And all remaining staff be put on 6 months probation during which time employ an outside management consultancy to watch and assess all staff, especially for their attitudes and baheviors.

 

Yeah I know this is LOS.

One that comes in and then leaves with a huge payoff package months later.
