ACCOR and Qantas
Dixon was always on about the ACCOR Group and how it covered all levels of the market.It was his desire to emulate them.
The people at ACCOR are very astute and knew how to market themselves.
Dixon and his cohorts didnt have a clue.Aspirations yes but absolutely no clue.
What puff has just said has a lot of merit.Its about the only thing long term Qantas done in a decade.Offshore and outsource everything.Pour everything you've got into Jetstar.Use it as a vehicle to drive down wages and conditions at mainline.When mainline is a basket case merge the two and become all things to each segment of the market.A very clever devious idea.Only one problem ...Dixon wasnt that smart.
Ian Oldmeadow on the other hand.........?
