IATA accuses Adani of 'capacity gaming' over Mumbai freighter ban
Adani Group-managed Mumbai International Airport (MIAL) is facing pushback from industry groups over a recent decision ...
IATA members and staff could finally see change sweep through the inscrutable organisation following the resignation of one of the old guard, Guido Gianasso, the head of ‘human capital’ and training.
Mr Gianasso, who worked closely with former chief executive Giovanni Bisignani, has been heavily criticised for creating a culture of fear in the airline association ? an image not improved when he attempted to unmask and sue an employee who had savaged him anonymously on the whistle-blowing website, Glassdoor.com.

December 11, 2012 at 8:05 pmThis has to be the greatest news that IATA has ever heard since its beginning. I for one have no respect for this coward who has destroyed so many lives. Now, it’s time for his supporters to exit IATA.
We need another article once the trench of senior management layoffs are announced.

Let go during maternity leave
December 18, 2012 at 4:26 pmMy postion was abolished during my maternity leave. Instead of fighting it, I head my head up high and moved on to greener pastures.
They changed the name from HR to HC a few years ago, mainly becuase many had started calling the department HR- Human Remains

January 23, 2016 at 7:58 pmI’m writing this 10 years after leaving and can just confirm that it was worse than the article raises; for instance, compensation was supposed to be based on merit and only very few staff could be considered as so called ‘A players’. Well, I had a super A player reporting to me and she was rewarded with zero increase…I saw correspondence (by accident i was copied) which showed that they had decided who would be the A players even before the reviews had been undertaken and submitted. Obviously the recommendations were not based on any merit…what a zoo…no, jungle.
