The appointment of John Slosar to succeed Tony Tyler as chief executive of Cathay Pacific is no great shock. One Swire Pacific man, 30 years with various bits of the company, replaces another (33). Still, at a time when Cathay’s relations with Air China, its second-biggest shareholder with 30 per cent, have taken on an air of dependence, the transition represents a timely reminder from Swire (43 per cent) of exactly who is in charge.
国泰航空(Cathay Pacific)任命史乐山(John Slosar)接替汤彦麟(Tony Tyler)出任行政总裁,并不特别令人意外。一位在太古集团(Swire Pacific)不同部门效力30年的人,接替了另一位效力了33年的人。尽管如此,在国泰航空对其第二大股东manbetx3.0 国航(Air China)(持股30%)表现出依赖之际,此次人事变动代表着太古(持股43%)方面一个及时的提醒:谁真正说了算。
