We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
Sorry, goodness knows what is causing the punctuation corruption in my posts to return. Even the single apostrophe is now affected as well as the long dash I often use. � and � respectively! (I do use an Apple Mac.)
Quite a big drop in last month�s On Time Performance percentage: down from a very respectable 94% in August to 88% last month ��last seen in May. Hardly surprising I guess given the current situation. Disruption data still out-of-date.
http://news2.onlinenigeria.com/world/africa/663430-fastjet-wins-leading-african-low-cost-airline-at-world-travel-awards.html Congratulations are in order for this latest award. Nice pic of our CCO with glamorous reps from the WTA, plus lots of flattery from Nico about fastjet's "guests" (passengers)! The PIs' day will come!!
Fjetcrazy: yeah, I guess your'e right. Though I did say "modest" rise, and any development can only help. But I'll be happy with "stable" for a while longer. Point taken about being cash-flow positive.
All excellent news, together with the flight updates. Thanks Fjetcrazy. I look forward to the possibility that we might see a modest uplift in the SP once these latest developments take effect in November.
It's this forum wot done it!
Maybe I overreacted Fjetcrazy and if so, I apologise to you, Nico. It is so easy for some of us "long-termers" to recall similar fiascos in the [Ed] "Winters of our Discontent"!
You told me at the AGM that you frequently check out this forum (which I passed on here soon after). So have you read all these comments from many observant PIs re the widespread disruption to our schedules, especially the total cancellation of all flights to Mbeya for three weeks. Why the sudden return to the old days of such contempt for our passengers and why should they ever rely on such a damaged reputation which we all thought was now behind us? And what do you have to say to us, so many of whom remain heavily invested with fastjet?
“Good to see Nico (whilst he does not update us very frequently) just gets on with the job and tells us what things ARE happening. Not as before what MIGHT HAPPEN.” We can’t have it both ways, PJMI !
...or click on the "FJET Live RNS" tab above!! � which also shows how many RNSs are available on any given day.
Some of us who've been around here since 2013 live in hope but expect little, long used to hopes being dashed and damp squibs. But faith is a strange thing and, as so many wiser folk have pointed out before, in a "Rome wasn't built in a day" way, it's asking a lot of a fledgling airline like fastjet to become truly established (and therefore profitable) in less than five years. So.....ROLL ON, 2018!
Completely OFF-TOPIC!! But any fastjetters with any interest in the continent of our operation, here’s a heartwarming video story of Africa’s “Great Green Wall” from the BBC. It runs for just over 3 minutes. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/magazine-41391844/why-is-africa-building-a-great-green-wall
An excellent rock-steady, continuous video – not that I watched it minute-by-minute! – until the cameraman was outside the aircraft at Songwe when it became distinctly shaky but not hopeless. I was just a tad disappointed that he didn't take the opportunity to grab a sequence from inside the cabin before disembarking. I look forward to the next enterprising passenger who does a similar video from inside one of our new, smaller fleet. Thanks, taskmaster, for posting that.
What on earth is all,that about?
I spot a bit of ambiguity in my earlier post. Sorry. ".....and not providing your em address and click on “Sign-Up Now (Free)" should have read ".....and not providing your em address nor clicking on “Sign-Up Now (Free)"
It is probably safe if you just click on the ‘X’ top-right and not providing your em address and click on “Sign-Up Now (Free). It does then take you to a legit-looking site whose Home tab brings up a very eclectic mix of general topics (Business, Technology, Health etc). Needless to say, it does pop a cookie into your system! But then what doesn’t?
No sooner said than done. Following my approach, the website has been promptly brought right up to date and even better, showing a 3% improvement to fastjet's OTP to an impressive 94%.
Ref: hammy374 and my posts of last Wednesday, regarding no response from fastjet concerning its website updating. I wrote again on Thursday to its agency, Mindpearl, forcefully asserting my point. Evidently they passed my comments on to Hein Kaiser, fastjet’s General Manager of Marketing and Communications, since I have just received this response from him a few minutes ago: “Kindly accept my apology for the lack of OTP [On Time Performance] and disruption updates on the site, it was an oversight and I have since requested that it be corrected. We are in the process of migrating systems and the update must have slipped through the cracks. “Your concerns were valid and I thank you for making us aware of it.” Maybe we can now look forward to seeing some results soon while providing a more professional image.
Not according to Wolfgang's blog, Fjetcrazy - he was displaying a Facebook page.
Yeahl great!! First paragraph on Wolfgang’s page: “Our customers mean the world to us and we appreciate you immensely. If there is ever anything we can do for you, never hesitate to contact us at customer” At “customer” what?? https://wolfganghthome.wordpress.com/2017/09/07/fastjet-news/ “Reaching out to customers in a timely fashion”, Fjetcrazy? Not there yet!
