In The Blood
Qantas was once run by individuals who had aviation in their blood.It was what they loved.
Many of us still have that love of Aviation and Qantas.
Ward,Borghetti,Lindeman all had great affection for the company and aviation.They had been involved since theri youth
Dixon didnt give a toss.For him it was all about the creation of wealth ...his own.
I doubt that Qantas will ever be run with the same passion that it once was.
Today we have the "visitors".Come in make a few changes.Put their stamp on the business.Earn a few million and then leave.
Then the cycle begins again.
Unfortunately Qantas employees will wait in vain for the second coming.
There will never be another Keith Hamilton.John Ward or John Menadue.
We are stuck with the blow ins.
The sooner we all move on the better.
We have seen the good days at Qantas...they are now behind us
