A similar thing has happened at Cathay Pacific recently, a textbook example of how to stuff up what was once a quality product. Invariably the cause is egotistical CEO’s, hellbent solely on shareholder returns and lining their own pockets.
The direct result is that inevitably the airline product suffers and once great airlines become mediocre at best.
Impractical and unrealistic to re-nationalise airlines (though we should have got a stake in QF after that huge government capital injection) but there’s got to be some circuit breaker to halt this corporate greed.
Management don’t hate the staff, they just don’t care.
The attitude of any business flows from the directors. The directors of Qantas don’t care. They is getting their big pay checks and running Qantas down because they ‘know’ that airlines will be mostly banned under the global warming overlords. The directors, by appeasing the global warming overlords know they will have another cushy directorship to go to once Qantas, and most other airlines, is done. No director cares about somebody who is looking for a long term career in the airlines because they don’t see themselves there in the long term…
Apparently, Qantas management has this belief that when the sun goes down and the wind don’t blow that the power just works under some miracle.
Yer just gotta ‘believe’…
“…From this year all Qantas Group buildings will be powered by 100 per cent renewable electricity in Australia…”
