Don't give it a second thought.
It's pretty obvious to those of us at the coal face that QF management's agenda is to destroy the airline by design.
A couple of years and their mission will be complete.
All to get around the Qantas sales act I suspect.
I liken the situation whereby a property developer has a "listed" property in their portfolio with severe heritage type restrictions on what can be done with it.
They neglect the property's upkeep and general maintenance to such an extent that it can no longer feasibly be redeveloped short of complete demolition.
This of course being the desired outcome anyway.
Google "demolition by neglect", there's plenty of instances like this.
QF is being "managed" in exactly the same way with the QF sales act equating to a, "heritage listing".
Think about it and tell me I'm wrong.
Someone..........
thats all well and good, but what happens when the desired outcome is achieved, and they get the foreign investment cap lifted to "save the airline" what do the have left? No brand credibility thats for sure... QF is already no longer the carrier of choice for most regular travellers i know. no loyalty from staff, no respectable route structure, nothing but a gutted shell held up by foreign moneys..
