Vanessa will make every appearance of changing things but I'd be _very_ surprised if anything of real substance changed at all. Dragon Man said it all in post 2 of this thread. She would have been part of (if not a driving force) behind every decision since the lockout and it's Senate inquiry - if not before.
If I were in her seat I know exactly what I would do and it would change staff morale quickly, but it would still take time - a ship the size of Qantas has built up a considerable head of steam over the past 15 years, changing course even 20' will pose problems. Given Vanessa has been an integral part of _ALL_ current decisions and the strategies in place, I really doubt that in a few years time we will be looking back on today and thinking much changed at all.
GT, when did Joyce take the Qantas shares from a $1.00?
GT truth. He's an 'expert' after all
