Despite the many naysayers who are loud and proud to post negative thoughts, there are many who never bother to post...until today...who still love the red tail and long may it fly.
Many who appear to denigrate Qantas are most likely lamenting the failure of successive, likeminded management teams to realise that any company is worth infinitely more than the sim of its parts. Qantas exists despite decades of denigration, demoralisation and devaluation of those parts, and it is testament to the quality of those who keep her afloat. I hope Qantas is around in the future, but there needs to be a reversal of the current management ethos of divide and conquer, and a stop to the strip bare policy.
