Can't wait for the QF response to higher fuel prices. They can't have the cabins any less comfortable on the ground that's for sure.
“Every airline gets the benefit (of lower fuel prices) but Qantas is outperforming the rest of the market. And it’s only because of transformation that we have these strong results.”
Little Napoleon beamed in FY15 as Qantas outperformed the market. The savings they achieved were a result of
a large price fall of jet fuel, the commodity they use disproportionately more of than their peers! Save expense they did, recording a handsome 'transformation' profit. The ICCT was interested too:

Confronting the present rise in fuel prices, Little Napoleon always ahead of the pack (certainly with remuneration) fleet not so much, has enacted a 'strike team'.
This strike team located in the bowels of QCA are working night and day on a super secret project. Re-enforced with consultants, they are close to a new project title.
The project itself rumoured to be RTC (Reduced Thrust Cruise). This includes in-flight shutdown. Marketing is apparently awash with catch phrases, and scouts have been sent out looking for a kid's choir.
It is also rumoured that the Floyd and Harry, otherwise known as Rupert and John are heading to the antipodes from Hong Kong hoping to learn a new trick or two!
