Exclamation Rip, rort and rout

As far as the Unions are concerned the Texans would see their contribution as = ZIP. No matter how much the combined forces of ALL Qantas unions go..... this is a DONE DEAL.

{I've been trawling thru the net and studying their form and its not a pretty picture.}

Get ready for the announcement before Christmas.

Then it will be - flog off Jetstar= $2b, sell Qantas Freight= $1.0b, Dump QFCL =$50m, offload QF Holidays= $40m...........GAME OVER.

I won't even put up a guestimate of the number of loyal staff that will go!!

Then as a private company, this bunch will cut a swathe thru the Unions as big as the Grand canyon and there is nothing anyone will be able to do. They will not have to answer to pesky shareholders,govt beauracrats -it will be rip, rort and rout.

Sorry to be a bearer of bad news-but this is how its looking to me.
