Anyone still think they will be yodelling on the Swiss Alps during the upcoming Ski Season ?
No, but that really shouldnt be the discussion. Qantas' roadmap out will likely be over the
course of 2022-23. It will no doubt start with bubbles, and go from there. It will likely be gradual, and in line with the guidance provided by Morrisons four step pathway out. It will then be up to the Feds, Qantas, along with other business leaders to push the narrative for the Premiers to adhere to the agreed steps, none of which state
Zero Cases, Zero Deaths as being part of the pathway out.
Jetstar (Virgin) Jane was on the money in terms of the reality of the situation earlier in the year. She was pilloried for saying (shock, horror), that (GASP!)... that the disease will become endemic similar to the flu and some people sadly will die from it... unfortunately I believe Alan Joyce went missing and should have been there loudly supporting her. On the 13/07 the Western Australian CHO Andy Robertson appeared on talkback radio in Perth as pretty much said exactly the same thing as Jane did, and there was no outrage at all, go figure -

Qantas have to prepare for something, they have been given the proposed steps, with no doubt additional advice from people within government and will formulate a path forward on that. What else do they have to work with?
