A task force headed by Peter Siegenthaler, director of the Swiss federal finance administration, has proposed a dozen seasoned executives for Crossair’s new board of directors, only one of whom–Claudio Generali–serves on the current board. Crossair founder and current chairman Moritz Suter is not on the list, neither as chairman nor member. The task force proposes Dutchman Peter Bouw, former CEO of KLM, as the new chairman.

According to Siegenthaler, “Bouw is the right man with relevant experience for the task to be accomplished.” Current Crossair CEO André Dosé is to stay on. Suter’s dismissal would be a surprise, but it is no secret that he is feared by Swissair personnel, especially pilots, for his reputation as a tough salary negotiator.
