Oldmate i hope you are correct, but i think Joyce and Clifford are here to stay. There is a plan behind all this posturing and stupidity by the upper management. A good board and the investors would have given AJ and Clifford the boot already if there wasn't some underlying plan behind all of this angst. This whole episode should be front page news in the business end of town, but its VERY quiet. The pollies are very quiet too. Unfortunately unless some miracle occurs in the next month or so i think in 12 months time we will see a very different Roo in our skies, can't wait to see clifford and joyce hug and kiss at the equity buyout press meeting.
Unfortunately its the original employees of this great australian icon, the pilots and engineers, that seem to be the only people in the company that have the will and the means to see it survive.
