Apart from the recognised consultants such as BCG, how many former Qantas employees are now engaged as 'consultants'. A story I heard concerns a senior executive who was given a 'package' to leave the airline. He did this but soon found himself working as a consultant for a certain start up airline in Singapore on something like $1000 a day plus all expenses. When that gig finished he resurfaced at Mascot as a consultant a couple of days a week. He is still there. How smart on Qantas's part is this? If he was so valuable, why was he paid out in the first place? I wonder how many other like consultants are around?
