Dear gloom and doomers,
- Your new CEO has opened up new routes for the Qantas Group for the first time in recent memory
- Helped persuade the Board to buy 787's when previous management had missed the entire 777 era
- Fended off low-cost competition and bought a whole new market segment and it's revenue onto Qantas Group premises and airplane
- etcetera
His height and accent are only relevant to this topic as insofar as they are the catalyst to show the venom and insularity that inhabits a few small corners of the mainline world.
For those of you who want a good future in JQ and QF and hence rely on an injection of drive and purpose at the very top, this is a great day. Those who prefer to see the downside, even of a win in Lotto....get lives now. This is not a rehearsal.
