Sorry we politely disagree, pre-emptive it is not. Any oil industry analyst has been warning that contango is very much part of the term structure of crude oil pricing for the last 12 months. Qantas are forward hedging fuel, but they are hedging into a bigger headwind.
The point of this thread is that they have been way behind on this issue having only been spared because of the low fuel prices, which now is accepted are no longer so low.
Qantas need a new fleet.
Please....end the suspense. Who is 'we'?
