Chief executive of Poland's national carrier LOT fired after 38 days on job

WARSAW, Poland: The supervisory board of Poland's national carrier LOT said Thursday it had fired the airline's chief executive, Marek Mazur, after only 38 days in the post.

Speaking to TVN24, Mazur said he did not know why he was fired.

Poland's State Treasury, the main shareholder in LOT, had been calling for Mazur's removal, arguing that the previous acting CEO, Tomasz Dembski, was a better candidate for the post.

The Treasury and trade unions have argued for months about who should hold the job, while the company has delayed announcing a long-term strategy to face growing competition.
