Quite simply Qantas has mismanaged QF international with poor fleet choices, poor configuration decisions & poor route structure.
Qantas management has mismanaged their dedicated long term employees.
Qantas has mismanaged their long term loyal customers.
How do you sporn a company the size of Jetstar in such a short timeframe from a business that supposedly doesn't make any money? And still have $3 billion in the bank. I know there have been some capital raising events.
Some things you just shouldn't blame the employees for.
Will Qantas management ever shoulder any blame for their poor decisions?
High $AUD versus $US has both positive & negative effects on the business.
The high cost of fuel is the biggest factor in the current financial year performance. High fuel cost has a smaller impact on full service carriers than LCC's.
Can someone please explain again why Qantas doesn't have B777's. I understand they are about 16% more fuel efficient than B747 over a pacific sector per passenger on a full 3 class load.
