The proof of her lack of knowledge was inserting a CP who had been excluded from the shortlist by the recruiting company hired to find a suitable candidate ( how much did that cost). Jetstar is fortunate that the current CP is dealing with the current crisis. No Jetstar will have nothing to worry about if Madam Chang takes the reigns of whatever and if ever a viable airline emerges out of the current mess.
Maybe splitting hairs, did she "not understand why the staff weren't engaged" or simply didn't care or even a problem too big to tackle - certainly during her limited working hours!
She may be inserted as a manager, is there anyone out there who would be seen as a manager AND a leader??

Would seem perfect opportunity IF there's a VA2 to find better leaders rather than just re-use rusted on managers - if any leaders can be found, now THAT may be the question.
