His perks and the salaries should be transparent.

Why are you going to pay? A guy with a good work record local/intl must be paid well. Pls check how much other big SL companies pay their top posts!

Never ending stories of losses and new appointments. Hardly a day passes with out negative news of SLAir.SLAir should be privatized and kept out of reach for political interference for any future positive news.FlytMilesTears is better name.

Some think that Sri Lankan CEO should be paid a comparable salary of a top executive in a private sector company. But the thing to remember is, that these private sector companies run at a profit but, Sri Lankan is an eternally loss making concern. Also, this CEO s salary is paid by ordinary tax payers money and should be made transparent.
