So did AJ not write to Qantas freguent flyers and say
''As a valued frequent flyer I want to let you know why we have made these decisions when other carriers, including Virgin and Air New Zealand, have continued to operate.
''Qantas does not take the decision to cancel flights lightly...but safety is our first priority and we will never fly unless we are fully satisfied that it is safe to do so.''
It would seem to me that he is implying that other airlines are not operating safely.
Yet a Qantas spokesman is quoted as saying this in the Business Day article
'No-one at Qantas, including Alan Joyce, has said or implied at any point that other airlines are operating unsafely.
Can't have it both ways.
