In my collection of CI business car...Taiwan area ?<br /><br />In my collection of CI business cards this title has been used over the decades. That's a likely leftover from the times China Airlines (CI) was founded in 1959 and Taiwan considered an area of the ROC to be recovered. KLM, the airline after which CI was molded also used the terms 'area manager', so it may have morphed into VP Taiwan area. <br /><br />EVA Air is even better in the fudging titles game: junior-, senior-, deputy-, VP , EVP and no published organisation chart.<br /><br />Government influence: the China Aviation Development Foundation is still holding the majority of shares in this 'private' company: 53.88% on December 31 2008. Remember when Singapore Airlines failed to buy and take over CI ?<br /><br />After ECFA Air China may be a better candidate. It would solve a lot of name and domestic vs international traffic rights problems.Jan in Taiwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14349344481296870073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-29393539593959698832010-06-07T09:55:49.106+08:002010-06-07T09:55:49.106+08:00Ma's propaganda blitz is interesting to watch ...Ma's propaganda blitz is interesting to watch in that it portrays weakness rather than strength. Beijing "should not" obstruct Taiwan. Taiwan "must be allowed" to exercise its rights. <br /><br />It sounds to me like Ma is whining.Tommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552370490869601403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-52859406602403785392010-06-07T08:58:34.389+08:002010-06-07T08:58:34.389+08:00Ol' DiFi of SF and her husband Dick Blum have ...Ol' DiFi of SF and her husband Dick Blum have long had personal vested interests in China.
