“There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”
― George W. Bush
Wasn't Qantas still 'terminal' last time?
Didn't all the unions accept the invertible 'job cuts' unless they signed up.
Didn't Qantas run to the government begging for AUD$ 3 billion and get an EK alliance with no tangible upside?
Didn't they, at the stroke of a pen, write off the international fleet and aided by plummeting fuel prices 'transform' the business?
Let's hope for all that George W is right and err you can't fool em again. Or something like that.
