How much is Qantas (mis)management prepared to spend on this fight? How many millions are they spending with consultants, Wirthless
PR, lawyers?? How much income will be lost as a result of lost bookings, lack of confidence in the brand?
Just remember who has been saving Qantas' skin for the last few years with all these management induced near disasters.
CEO's & airline executives can be replaced by better cheaper people tomorrow. You cannot replace millions of hours of highly trained pilots overnight & remain safe. (1989 they tried it, it was not safe & it cost more in the long run)
An airline that is not safe is gone tomorrow.
