Maybe if he had more local support (management team) he would be more successful however that did not happen. Yes he was responsible for bringing the product to a whole different level. He brought the guy who managed the Guest Services- cabin crew for almost two years and made the initial boom with onboard services and cabin crew . However , from what i know that same guy left the company mire than 2 years ago Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263744212273266286.post-11488775109741018002017-12-27T12:44:25.913+01:002017-12-27T12:44:25.913+01:00Can't and not wanting to - they are completely...Can't and not wanting to - they are completely different affairs.

Nije valjda da su ljudi vec zaboravili kako je to izgledalo, kakav je ovo pokusaj falsifikata istorije? jat je tokom decenija sprzio mnogo vise para za mnogo manje rezultata. <br /><br />"Svaki čas je menjala korporativnu politku". Svaki cas?!? Bila je samo jedna (polu) promena sa novim sedistima i naplacivanjem. Promene destinacija su normalne u svakoj drugoj firmi na svetu.<br /><br />"Povlačenje sa mnogih tržišta. Neuspeh u privlačenju transfernih putnika". I dalje lete na mnogo vise trzista nego jat 2012 i imaju mnogo vise putnika i prihoda. Kakav neuspeh sa transfernim trzistima, pa Tirana, Bejrut, Grcka i gomila drugih mesta zivi od transfernih putnika. <br /><br />"Mnoge je otpustio a mnogi su i otišli sami." Bas tako treba da bude. Nema razlike u odnosu na globalne firme.<br /><br />"Dakle nije Dane ništa spektakularno uradio" Pogledaj sve ono sto je nabrojano u komentaru od 7:16 a to je samo deo napretka. To je bukvalno spektakularno u odnosu na vreme pre 2013.

Also BEG-BUD I can’t picture being popular with majority of that market being in Vojvodina. Why would you spend an hour driving to BEG to fly backwards?! All these other markets can’t survive without point to point traffic to sustain it. You can’t rely just on transfer traffic. If AS did that and had <50% LF you would conplain how it’s a wasted market and just throwing money in the air. <br /><br />I still don’t understand how everyone knows what the problem is with AS, always claiming creative accounting practices, etc... why doesn’t everyone just put their hand up and apply for this job? Oh yeah I forgot you need the appropriate qualifications and business acumen which obviously Dane did or EY/JU wouldn’t hire him.

Svi mi možemo da uvodimo nove uniforme, ofarbamo avione (za koje mi nismo pregovarali btw), zaposlimo nove ljude... ali njegova primarna dužnost je bila da napravi profitabilnu i stabilnu firmu.

I dalje se sećam jedne dame koja je došla iz Švajcarske gde je radila za Qatar. Posle nedelju dana napustila je firmu zbog loših uslova i mobinga.<br /><br />Ne zaboravimo Danetovu brilijantnu ideju gde je odlučio da posada čisti avion te im je svima obezbedio Brisko. <br />Zahvaljujući tom istom Danetu inspekcije na stranim aerodromima su redovna pojava. WC-i na mnogim letovima ne rade jer se štedi na svemu. <br /><br />Dakle nije Dane ništa spektakularno uradio.

He made it all the way from Malaysia to participate and made sure our deal did not go through... Thank you Dane! You saved me from, a bunch of hurdles.

Od propalog JATa uspeo je da napravi donekle uspešnu i stabilnu kompaniju. Naravno nije niko savršen pa tako nije ni on. Čovek nije bio u mogućnosti da upravlja AS sam pošto naravno i EY i vlada Srbije imaju dosta uticaja na razvoj kompanije. Dosta je tu špekulacija da on odlazi zbog famijarnih razloga kao i da je bio u odnosima sa jednom od radnica AS i da se Etihad menažmentu nije dopalo i morao je da ode. Ko zna šta je tu prava istina.
