ReplyDeleteDa. Jako dobro zna čuvat ledja da ga ne ufate
DeleteA nije da ne putuje. Eto idje covik skroz do Mostara. A sigurno katkad i u Vrankvurt.
DeleteI can't stop laughing reading this
ReplyDeleteMe too
DeleteWho would have thought they take compliance so seriously on Mauritius. Now Kučko knows it too. This will pop up on any future job application.
ReplyDeleteI would. There is rarely a country in the world so messed up as the Balkans.
Deletehahahahahh bratina
ReplyDeleteništa, sada je zajebao za stalno. ali kapiram da će bosna i slovenia uskoro raditi reboot svojih carriera pa će imati gde da se udomi
In the Balkans, this kind of thing actually helps you with a job application! :D
DeleteHahahahahahahaha, bravo, exactly...
DeleteUnfortunately, everything related to Croatian aviation management is unprofessional. Pragusa.One, Smile Air, AWEX Croatia, ACI Air, Splitair, Adriatic Skyways, Dalmatian, Sea Air, Fly Li, Fly Wi...... shall I continue?
ReplyDelete....Libertas, Air Croatia, Limitless Airways.
DeleteAnd OU:(
Fly Li and Fly Wi 🤣
DeleteStill there are Trade Air and ETF that look professional.
DeleteI often see JetStream (Hungary) planes at Croatian airports. Is there any Croatian involvement in this airline?
DeleteNonsense. Croatian aviation management is highly varied. ETF and Trade Air are very much success stories.
DeleteCroatia also have Fly Air 41 Airways/ Sundair.
DeleteBTW FlyAir41 buys Air Berlin brand, soon maybe will see croatian " Air Berlin"😁😆
Also their ICAO/Callsign is BER, BERLIN 🤔
Pragusa.One is not an airline and it has nothing to do with aviation.
DeleteHow was it man!?!?! The Man takes A350, buys stake in OU, big biznis here😁💰🤑💸🍸
DeleteJetstream works with croatian charter brokers. For croatian stake i don't know.
DeleteYour left out OU lol
DeleteWait until bright new shiny A220 fleet arrives to be grounded for engines or fly with 20 % LF or continue feeding LH in Minken and Vrankvurt. Then they will join the club listed above
DeleteWow Mauritius takes this more seriously than we do.
ReplyDeleteMauritius is one of the most business friendly destinations in the world (no. 1 in Aftica) and the level of corruption is relatively low (in comparison to the western world, Balkan excluded).
DeleteAs someone who has worked with Air Mauritius on a contract basis a few years ago I can tell you that no, Air Mauritius does not take this seriously. But what I can tell you is that there are constant game of thrones inside Air Mauritius and certain people wanting to use political influence to run the airline. I am sure this is an example of it. This is not a defence of Kucko but it was like that 4 years ago and I doubt much has changed. You can just see how many times management has been changed in just a few years. Air Mauritius has huge political interference.
ReplyDeleteWell even if that is the case, Kucko is an idiot for doing this. It's pretty stupid to allow yourself to be in this position.
DeleteHe never succeeded to finish the T-1... He operated a 'market' before becoming OU CEO where there was no competition, and his job was to collect daily newspaper from the airplane. He is a pathetic bully.
DeleteI don't understand why the airline industry is so incestuous! Fail at one job and get rewarded with multiple other opportunities. Running an airline is not rocket science... the Boards of these companies should focus on finding a competent leader instead of someone with "industry experience".
ReplyDeleteIt's not only the aviation industry. I worked in the biggest travel company in the ex-yu for many years, we would hire new CEO's on yearly basis, sometimes even half year, they would fail miserably, accumulate millions of EUR of loss and would be fired, but all of them found new jobs as CEO's of other companies very soon after.
DeleteI always knew he was corrupt, the damage he did at Croatia Airlines!
ReplyDeleteHe was dangerous. Bajic is at least harmless because he is clueless.
DeleteUnfortunately Bajic is not harmless because his cluelesness is used by others who are much much more dangerous than Kucko, and use him as puppet who signs criminal and corruptive deals much much bigger than one in today 's article
DeleteKradeze cadre….
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about, the guy is an SDP appointee
DeleteKradeze and SDP are two branches of the same Party - SKJSKH. SDP is a bit more liberal and reformed, Kradeze is a bit more rigid and conservative but the mindset in both is the same or similar. They are not able and not willing to separate business from politics because it brings them benefits. And aparatchiks are obediently executing orders, or just don't care, or both.
