RBA And.....

...One angry employee ( BB Opinion 24 Sept 2008):

What's happening with our national carrier?

Where is our national carrier Royal Brunei Airlines heading?
A few months back, I remember they were boasting about the arrival of their new airplanes, the Boeing 777. But the new airplane is nowhere to be seen.

All that is left are the old Boeing 767s with seats, which in my opinion, is worse than a budget airline.

I do not see any major improvement as yet. First, the gone B777 deal and this year, the hope of getting merit increments and bonus for staff look bleak with nothing so far.

Unfortunately for those who resigned, the employer's TAP contribution is also affected from the employee's end of service benefits.

In its commercial side, I see failures especially in the decision-making. I have been in the sales and marketing industry and I personally think their commercial department needs a major overhaul putting those specialising in that field rather than putting a pilot or engineer instead. I guess, they just have the wrong people for the wrong critical positions.

Salaam.
