I think this quote highlights a misunderstanding of the structure of the Qantas Group. The ‘us and them’ mindset that some frontline staff have between the airlines I don’t believe is the mindset at a CEO/Board level.
The Qantas Group is just that, a group of airlines. Qantas domestic, qantas international, QantasLink, Jetstar. Each a seperate and equal part of the group.
Joyce came from Jetstar, now group CEO. His most likely successor, Gareth Evans, currently the Jetstar CEO. This idea that Qantas will ‘save itself’ doesn’t really stack up. Jetstar is as much a part of the Qantas group as any other airline from a CEO/board level perspective.
Even now, with zero demand we’re running 1 qantas 737, 1 Jetstar A320 and 1 qlink Dash 8.
Each part of the group still running.
