Why are we worried? In an interview with Siva Govindasamy (Airline Business 23/03/10) Alan said, “Qantas has an unbelievable history, an unbelievable brand. I'm very proud to be the custodian of this history going forward. Qantas employs 35,000 people, who have an amazing passion for the brand. We have the diversity of 92 different nationalities. In which other country in the world would you have one of its major brands led by somebody who was foreign born? That is something to be very proud of."
Benjamin Disraeli was wrong. There are four kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, statistics and Alan.
Alan stop being proud of being Irish and start being proud of Qantas. We are.
