Remember Qantas as an airline only exists for management to make war on its staff. The fact it fly's people any where for the occasional profit is immaterial.
AJ became CEO in 2008. Since then we’ve heard that Jetstar will take over mainline, that RedQ will take over mainline, that Jetconnect will take mainline, that Network will take over mainline, that an externally crewed 787/350 company will take over mainline, that Alliance will take over mainline.
And yet 13 years down the track mainline is still here, and maybe a year from now will be back at 2019 levels of flying where recruiting was going at full steam.
You don’t think that if there was this grand plan to get rid of mainline they would’ve done it a lot earlier and not waited over 13 years to put it into action? With all the industrial shocks and opportunities it’s never come to fruition has it? If any entity was going to take over mainline it would have been JQ, but a mainline operation has co existed alongside them and will continue to do so in the future.
Maybe your grand conspiracy theory is just a theory?
