Requirements for Hub Manager

[EHM-1651 Christian]

Well I think all of us know about the KATL hub since everyone are able to choose their hub when they join and those of us who where here before the hub opened probably got the have noticed it to

[EHM-1980 Brian]

just trying to help improve the membership numbers of this hub Christian so it becomes a success -  if everybody noticed it then why so few active pilots??

[EHM-1883 Matt]

Hey Brian! I don't think I've met you before!

There's one big problem with KATL though I think. There aren't many pilots from the USA! I partially think that this might be because our name is "euro" so americans get put off, but I'm not saying we should change the name or anything, but when I heard about KATL, to be honest, I didn't think it was going to be much of a success. How wrong I was!

[EHM-1980 Brian]

Hi Matt - nice to meet you! thats actually a very true comment and one maybe management could look into? maybe a sub-airline....... US Harmony ha ha  what hub are you with?

[EHM-1671 Ben]

Matt's in EGLL hub. I'm hoping we attract some American pilots.... it's going to take a while to get KATL resemblant of the European hubs in size. As you said, though, Brian - PP Flights for both of us to get those stats up!

An "EagleHarmony" division to fly the KATL routes would be awesome! It would definitely give KATL a sense of identity. It would probably take the management quite a long time and I'm not sure they are keen to do this for such a small hub. You never know, though!

[EHM-1980 Brian]

wouldnt say they'd go for it Ben but it would be nice! It would mean a lot of extra work and time for them and they have already put in so much lately but as you said you never know! and of course it'll take time but we can do it - two heads are better than one eh?

Hi,


And why not an "AsiaHarmony", and a "ArticHarmony" and a "AfricanHarmony" ?

I think you are over-excited regarding all of these matters, specially and speaking personally, with the latest Brian's topics.

I would like you to refrain a little bit, and start putting yourselves the feet on the ground.
For now, leave all the strategy guidelines for the Management. As you could see along our, let's say, two year's history (since it's from I am here), we are doing a good job on improving the VA.

In conclusion, use and abuse, from all the features that we have. And trust the rest to us

Regards,

[EHM-1671 Ben]

Bruno, we're definately not trying to offend you or challenge the management's strategies. I'm sorry you think of it that way. We were just having some fun, we weren't making a suggestion. Trust me, my feet are on the ground. The management has done more than a "good job on improving the VA" as you've said, they've done a magnificent job and have created something no other virtual airline can rival.

As for being over-excited, we're just "using and abusing" KATL hub It has only 4 active pilots and both Brian and I are keen to see that it grows to become the success that the management deserves. You guys have all put A LOT of work into it, and no one at this VA appreciates that more than Brian and I. So please, don't take us too seriously in what we say. We're trying to make KATL another one of EuroHarmony's works of art like EGLL, LPPT, LGAV, ESSA, EHAM and LSZH.

Again, Bruno, please don't take this in the wrong way. There is a lot going on right now for you guys (timetable additions, fleet repaints, etc.) and we mean IN NO WAY to disrespect you or the work you do.

[EHM-1980 Brian]

well said Ben- i completely agree with your statement and wish to express the same sentiment to Bruno and the management team! - we are only trying to award your hard work and effort by making KATL the hub it deserves to be thats all

[EHM-0948 Bruno]

Sure Ben, I didn't thought about it that hard.

I just want to clear the idea that sometimes all of these "idea-explosions" can caught us when trying to improve our work.

Logically, all the ideas are welcome! As they had, and as they are. But, so many at the same time, on all fronts can cause some confusion and can lost us from our main focus.

I know that you all are very excited to have more pilots on KATL and we appreciate that. We really do. But, as I said, we need to sequentially give the ideas, and not place them all at the same time.

I hope you don't think that I am angry or something... by the contrary. I am very happy to see that all of you want to make our (pilots+MT) VA even better ...

Regards,

[EHM-1671 Ben]

No, I didn't think you were angry I just thought Brian and I had put things the wrong way. We'll slow down with the ideas

[EHM-1980 Brian]

or maybe not blurt them all out in one go...... think first and explain later when properly thought about! i think thats what you mean bruno
