"Qantas has gotten big and bloated, and well oversized."
That is so true but there's not been much of a will to do a thing about it. A big new broom through the uppper echelons of Management (start on QCA9 and EXCO) and the Board would be a good start. And if the unions really want to preserve Aussie jobs and an Aussie icon, they too have to get real and come to the party. The journey would be tough and not without pain but the lessons of the last few months cannot be ignored by those in a position to do something positive. The result could surprise even the most bitter of cycnics!
