QF is in a relatively strong position at the moment for one reason only... the collapse of AN. Were it not for that event, I believe it may have been QF we refer to in the past tense.
It is in spite of current management that the rat is still in existence.
Picture this..Ansett, Virgin Blue and Qantas still battling it out today. Now factor in these incredibly stupid decisions made by Dixon and co. in the last couple of years. All of them cost millions;
: The upgrade of the classics( an obsolete fleet of six a/c)
: The creation of Australian Airlines, only to dump it 3 years later
: The A330 floor fiasco
: The creation of J*Asia... big loss maker
Anyone think of anything else? I think you get the picture.
Now members of Dixon's fanclub like Aircraft don't even know what J*Asia is? Funny how his admirers usually work in another company or industry altogether. Those that actually work in the place know where it's headed, while his cheerleaders here and in the media, just can't seem to notice that the king is not wearing any clothes!
