Cameron was a Merchant seaman, a officer I believe. Who ever he is, I would like to buy him a slab.

Nope, I'm not a smart arse, like those

Final comment from Sen Cameron (to AJ) before ABC24 changed over, "you're a rogue employer!".

It was qantas' "intention" to never eat into qf flying with Jetstar. Intentions mean nothing.

Looks like the next Senate election may get my first ever Labor candidate vote!

Abbott's dithering this week will hurt him.

Serious question.

Apart from letting everyone see what an inept operator Alan Joyce is does the inquiry have any teeth. In other words what happens at the end of it all.

Quote of the day

Brown to Joyce, re grounding vs lockout: "You've had a big stick behind your back, and you haven't shown it to anybody."

The next thing that will happen is the Journo's will smell blood, and go after him, and possibly the board. If they hound him, he could crack and go, its all in the lap of the Gods now, he was a shattered man this morning, and Cameron has not finished with him yet nor Xenophon. But who was the bloke putting out the dorothy dixers, the nice little questions? A stooge?

I noticed AJ said that theory's of Jetstar replacing Qantas domestic were not true. Well what about Jetstar replacing Qantas to the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast? And I'm sure there are other routes that have been replaced.

I like the tone of questioning that suggests the senate doesn't believe Joyce has no intention of shrinking mainline and hopefully the need to enforce that

Yeah I did wonder why that bloke sent down a handful of dollies. He didn't seem to have any grasp of the situation at all.

It was mentioned a pilot rang a senator during the hearing to describe being alarmed mid flight re the grounding. How do we ring them mid enquiry? I'd love to coach with a few questions on the fly.often they are on the right track but need prompting to deliver the knockout question.

In the mean time Joyce and Qantas continue to give all of Qantas international profitable flying to Jetstar. No wonder Qantas international are not making a profit, because all the profitable routes are being gifted to Jetstar. This would also explain the continual decrease in market share for Qantas and increase for Jetstar. Net result, a continual decline in company market share because customers get pissed off with Jetstar and move to a quality carrier who are still doing the routes that Qantas used to.

I love how they recently took the Boeing 747 (with high load factors) off the Auckland-LAX route to replace it with a medium haul aircraft that is not suited to that run. The loads now are dismal. Manipultion at its greatest!! Next year, they will claim that Qantas are not making money on the route and el presto, Jetstar takes it over!

He has the gift of the gab this little Irishman. They want to fix the Qantas business? Then give the profitable routes you gifted to Jetstar back to Qantas would be a start. I see the SYD-ZQN flying is shortly going to Jetstar. Again more profitable Qantas international flying going to Jetstar. No wonder Qantas international find it hard to make a profit.

I just wish Tony would answer one question directly without changing the topic. It's getting embarrassing.
