You too have an opinion. Congratulations; everyone does.
But in all this talk of competition, fuel prices, reductions, staff cuts, economies, efficiencies etc which mostly affect long-serving, reliable, conscientious, capable, professional people, no one is talking about the down-side for QF management...
There is none!
Their initiatives boost
their bonuses without the slightest hint of team ethic (one in, all in) which a successful business should enjoy and in fact
needs if it is to be its best (or would you argue that too?). That is why nearly all the recent pronouncements lack credibility in the eyes of many (even most?) QF employees.
And do I detect a note of that other current executive QF management trait in your comment "You, old pal, are a bus driver"; arrogance? So it's poor form for QFinsider to express a business opinion, but you could command a heavy jet from "A" to "B", planning for Alternate "C" at night in foul weather, with an engine failure, high terrain, poor ATC and dubious navigation aids? Do you know what an ATPL is? Most consider it a degree-level course when all the experience and practical elements are weighed in. Or perhaps you could enlighten all here about command obligations enunciated in CAOs, CARs, JARs and FAA Regulations?
Some, "old pal", choose Harvard while others choose something else and you had me until your attempted sledge indicated that even you need to "forget about the envy thing".
ps. where is it written that only business grads cum "CFO or CEO of an ASX 100 Company" are allowed to have Porsches?
