I think the odds for the CFO is about $1.00 isn’t it?
Original front-runner was apparently former PM Scott Morrison (who will vacate his seat shortly) given his multiple diplomatic and portfolio skills.
However given his proven financial acumen, front-runner is now US Investment banker Bernard Madoff. He is adept at growing a company based on aging/non-existent assets as well as handsomely rewarding executives. Naysayers aside, the documentary ’Weekend at Bernie’s’ accurately depicts that a corporate figurehead can be effectively used by a board for their own ends, regardless of the individual’s state of being.

Let's be honest, if they replace him from within its just going to be more of the same (maybe worse). Would take a complete replacement of the management team and the board to change the attitude of QF to it's staff and customers.

Much worse and there might not be a company left. Whoever takes over will have to be a VERY good negotiator as he/she/they will have to get the staff back on side without spooking the investors. A wrong step either way will cause one or the other to abandon the company, with catastrophic results.

I would be very confident of external.
Elizabeth Gaines or Christine Holgate would be my bet. However Cam Wallace is definitely a quiet horse in this race.
Alan has said it should be a women. It should be who's the best for the bloody job.
Gordon , absolutely.

As Warren Buffet knows, all airlines are essentially Ponzi Schemes. The ones which survive in the long term do so only because they are government-subsidised or government-protected or both.
Therefore, ‘managing’ an airline as a ‘commercial business’ is essentially an exercise in smoke and mirrors, attracting people who are very good at smoke and mirrors. In the short term.
I’ll call Qantas a business which should be paying millions to a CEO on the day Warren Buffet invests more than a peppercorn in it.

As far as I can figure out that person has no experience in aviation operations either prior to or within QF. Simply kneeling down and listening to AJ pontificate will not be sufficient.

...Revenge is a dish served cold, very cold, delivered in a Toll sachet....
Then there are the passengers…if a safe, cheap, reliable service becomes available, the travelling public will certainly entertain the thought of abandoning this airline for something that fits the bill.
Drivel you say? Perhaps, but I would put a fifty on this being a real threat to the company going forward. Whoever ends up in the top job needs to bring one hell of an A game to get this place back on track and it can’t come soon enough.
