The jury is out on Joyce for me as QF CEO, I'm going to have to wait & see what transpires.
He is no longer CEO of Jetstar, so his major obligations are now with mainline.
So welcome to mainline Joyce, come & play with the big boys & learn to piss in the long grass with a premium operation & established unions to deal with.
Dixon was worn down by the ALEA's engineers, so what better job could Joyce do?
Unlike Jet*, Qantas is not a protected species hand fed by a parent airline.
As to mainline being transformed into a LCC, I doubt it. I think, as has been in the past there will be a continous focus on cost.
