The other view is that AFKL is attempting to "nix" the best-performing part of the Group. Forcing out the CEO that is largely seen as instrumental in pushing through the type of cost savings and productivity increases that no-one in AF or AFKL has managed, as was initially proposed, does not seem to be aligned with "working for the enterprise goals" - unless that goal is to bring KL down to AF's level, rather than to bring AF up to KL's level.
The Dutch view is that AFKL is broken, but that KL is the part that is working. And you don't fix something by tinkering with the bit that's working.
