Questions surround hiring of CAL executives

Concern is being raised about the hiring of executives at Caribbean Airlines (CAL).
 
A report in today's issue of  Trinidad's Express newspaper says the vacancies are being filled by former employees of  the Irish-owned telecommunications company, Digicel.
 
According to the Express report, the recruitments have triggered concerns about nepotism in CAL's hiring practices.
 
Sources say former Digicel executive, Garvin Madera, who was recruited as Caribbean Airlines' CEO last year, is on a hiring spree, given that the company had initiated a recruitment freeze and the jobs were advertised and filled after he assumed office. 
 
The newspaper report says there is also concern about the lack of  aviation experience in the company's recent recruitments. 
 
It's reported that Mr. Madera who was CEO at Digicel Play with a Masters in electrical and computer engineering, had no aviation experience prior to his taking the post as Caribbean Airlines' chief  executive.
