G.D is a power freak who doesn't know when to get out.

He's too busy shrinking QF mainline and expanding into either:

1 low yield businesses

2 loss making enterprises

3 enterprises which neither he nor his management team have any experience of.

I guess though we can rely on the board of directors to take charge of the situation!!!!!???????????. Trevor Kennedy was such a fine upstanding citizen. James Packer and Peter Cosgrove know all about running an airline!!!. Its almost like G.D has managed to stuff his board with people who have no idea about running an airline so that he gets to have unfettered reign.

Apart from "Chainsaw" Dickson and "hacksaw" Gregg, the rest of the board are mainly experienced with resource industries or financial services. There is not one single director who has any experience in any company listed on the ASX within the transport/logistics/services businesses.

And that's the way the place is being run - like a bank that's closing branches and treating customers like s#@t.

I know the board of directors need some diversity but they also need someone besides the CEO who knows what the business is all about.But what would a numbskull know!!
