Cargolux: when does the bleeding stop?

Below is the reproduction of a message distributed by Marcel Funk, Manager of Flight Operations, who by April 30 resigns from his positions as Executive Vice-President, ExCom member and Accountable Manager. He will leave the company by December 31.

No Luxembourg national is left in management, and some would argue that with him leaves the last really trusted  manager. I would have thought that preventing the bleeding from going on would have been a priority at any cost. Unfortunately the swarm of crises will not help employee morale.

Yet rumor has it that yet another significant employee, Chief Technical Pilot Captain Sten Rossby is also to leave. It is a worrying evidence that these key people are leaving by their own decision. They are not fired, on the contrary, they have successfully played important roles in the company, as did predecessors who left already.

In a nutshell, how to destroy good will? Have trusted managers resign, drag your feet on CWA negotiations, send more aircraft to Cargolux Italia. Oh, to be complete, communicate only on a need to know basis, and declare a corporate ban on disclosing inside information. VoilĂ !


That’s why I can’t tell if a wing waver will get waved in, to replace Marcel Funk.

  1. Sad, especially to see the good comradeship that was always part of cargolux disappearing
