Mikosz: Turnaround captain whose plan failed to take offWhen Sebastian Mikosz (pictured) was hired to run national carrier Kenya Airways (KQ) two years ago, he brought with him to Nairobi his family and even pets, an indication that he would be here for the long haul. Had he chosen to stay - at the discretion of the board of directors - Mr Mikosz could have held the chief executive seat for a total of six years. “But I look at it from a point of view whereby both assets are public entities, it’s not a debate by KQ and KAA. The Kenya Airline Pilots’ Association and the Kenya Aviation Workers Union have also grounded the airline’s operations, in disruptive and costly ways through go slows and strikes. However, since Mikosz - together with board chairman Michael Joseph- joined the airline, the industrial actions have been few and far between.
