I wish him well. He has put on weight in recent years so here is a chance to relax and reverse the process. It would seem to have been a highly successful personal career and a godsend to Airbus. |

There is no way Bregier is willingly losing control over sales. Just as Leahy is retiring, Enders is taking full control of Airbus, with Bregier being relegated to supposedly important, but actually powerless missions, like 'digitalisation'.
As I stated upthread, this 'reorganisation' highlights a victory of Enders over Bregier. The victory is being kept as low-key as possible to hide the infighting that resulted in the new unbalance of power.

As Airbus plane unit and Airbus Group have merged, they don't really need two CEO's anymore. It's a cost effective measure, something every rational company would do. |

This assertion sounds extremely naive to my ears. Costs have nothing to do with the balance of power. Corporate infighting almost always plays a part in the management of large companies. It often remains hidden, but insiders know it has a huge influence, as executives' view of major decisions or projects is often determined, first and foremost, by possible internal consequences. Have no doubts, Enders and Bregier have been trying to outstrip each other. Enders has won for now, as all recent decisions make it clear, but Bregier has some supporters, who have kept him alive so far. He must be waiting for an error from Enders, who is keeping an eye on him. Depriving Bregier of authority on sales is a way of preventing him from increasing his prestige at board level. |

You do not seem to value leading: programs, support and services, engineering, manufacturing, procurement and quality. There was never a question about number one and number two. Also before the reorganization Enders was the superior as having the top position in being the CEO of the group. IMO I think Enders taking direct control of sales and marketing, has less to do with Bregier, but more with losing John Leahy. |

From what I heard, John leahy was getting along with Bregier, more than with Enders. John's retirement, and his replacement with a less influent executive, provided an opportunity to Enders. If you believe that Bregier willingly let go of sales, perhaps you would be interested in a bridge in Brooklyn I have for sale ?  |

Something you do not have is not taken away. |

Perhaps you'll want to read again the Reuters article, which I'll quote a few excerpts from. "In an unexpected adjustment reported by Reuters on Friday, Airbus said its commercial sales team, best known for contesting leadership of the jet market with Boeing (BA.N), would now report directly to Enders and by-pass Bregier". "That move, which confirmed a Reuters report, raised concerns among some insiders and customers about a possible power struggle with long-standing airplanes boss Fabrice Bregier, though Airbus denied any tensions." "That decision is seen as sensitive because it revisits a power-sharing deal between the German Enders and Frenchman Bregier that initially gave the latter responsibility over all planemaking activities". "The decision sent tremors though the commercial arm and raised questions over the future of Bregier ..." www.reuters.com/article/us-airbus-reorganisation-idUSKBN19O0HW |
