I was thinking the same thing. If this new bloke is so brilliant then he might want to demonstrate more professional communication standards... in the last week we have seen the following:
- Complaining to the ACCC for statements made by Qantas suggesting they don't have enough cash and insisting that they have $1Bn available and can weather the storm;
- If that's true then why, within days of basically saying everything's hunky-dory why would it be necessary, without warning, to make Tiger's entire pilot group redundant?;
- Not even a week after the initial complaint about Qantas' comments, insists they need $1.4Bn from the Government to keep afloat - so, in other words, Qantas was correct? (the defence for any alleged damage via words is truth);
- Now, so desperately short of cash and dying in a ditch without $1.4Bn from the government, they run FULL PAGE COLOUR Ads in major newspapers??? Not a good look when you're crying poor.
Putting the debate about whether or not to save it (VA) aside, at the very least, they score a 2/10 for professionalism in the mixed messages and contradictions of the last week alone.
