You speculators are just so clueless.
- Qantas is cash flow positive with just 20% of its domestic network operating and loyalty.
- it owns its fleet (bar the few new 787s it recently hocked for some extra cash
- with standdown it has a large workforce ready to rapidly stand up when required.
- it owns a lot of property outright
- it has 4 billion in cash plus a further billion it can access if required
- domestic will rapidly turn on when the borders are relaxed
- international can afford to be parked with an owned fleet
- international won’t be nationalised.
- qantas will use Jetstar to shield itself from virgin
- it qantas needs cash it will sell Jetstar. That would be a last resort and would probably be going into FY21/22 if this debacle continues.
