It seems illogical to me.
It would seem to the outsider that the things that airline ought have corporate knowledge of, the corporation has forgotten. For a long established airline in the modern age to make 'rookie errors' with flight crew numbers, fleet metrics and the 'bread and butter' operational decisions it a reflection of senior management, no matter what token department head carries the can: Fish rot from the head.
Its business seemingly doubling up on presence 'with dual brand strategy' eating its yield pouring resources into a segment that is heavily dependent on mother Qantas, yet is incredibly demand elastic.
A strategy, optimising fleet and network appears the purview of Mr Meyer. Whilst once must give kudos to Qantas for creatively spinning every possible thing into some sort of 'info-mercial' running an airline isn't list on the list of priority.
It could be Mr Meyer decided a safe exit is preferable.
Perhaps Mr Clifford is smelling the breeze.
