Stubby Jumbo, Absolutely correct! This is nothing but well-timed spin to try saving Dixon's a#$e as the deal goes over the cliff. He's staring at going from $60M to being sacked, hence a warm fluffy piece to try preventing the latter.

Very enlightening. Much nearer to the truth. Conflicts of interest, Dixon's doom saying, flogging off QF aircraft options to other airlines - it's all there.

Put the AFR glossy mag article in context with all this and you realize what a carefully timed PR spin job it is......
