Joyce doesn't have a choice here, he has to be seen as doing something as he is looking like he is increasingly out of his depth.
I think the board are getting worried about the direction at Qantas, and what is being done to the airline and brand. Whether it is justified or not there has been a lot of damage done to the airline in the eyes of the travelling public. The lack of direction in the airline at the moment is monumental. They are stumbling from one disaster to another, and it is making the board look like fools. A declining leisure market hurting Jetstar and increased buisness and international competition hurting Qantas.......whats a CEO to do? Isn't AJ's 3 year contract up soon?
