I know some of aussies who swore they will never take another Qantas flight if there's an alternative of the above mentioned carriers. Reasons? Cabin and ground service. And Qantas management is the one that should be blamed for the lack of services provided?
Why Australians are abandoning Qantas?
1. Qantas fares are often higher than other premium carriers
2. Other airlines using new planes with greater comfort
3. Other airlines offer 1 stop to many destinations that are 2/3 stop on QF
4. Perceived safety compromises with history of recent accidents/incidents
5. Rip Off QF FF - excessive charges and too hard to book
6. People are sick of the brand trashing
7. Fed up with being dumped on to JQ for connecting flights
8. 23kg baggage limit verus 30kg on Emirates in Y
Just maybe if Management admitted that 99% of the above is QF management fault then just maybe QF employees would be a little more symapthetic
Management to blame for
1. Greed and trough feeding
2. Wrong Fleet
3. Allowing JQ to sabotage QF
4. Wrong Fleet purchases
5. Ripping of passengers
6. Not investing in core International Product
7. Poor Route Planning
8. Total arrogance
9. Lack of leadership at every level
10. Pissing off shareholders and putting their own benefits first
Its about time the press trashed the management of today and the past 10 years instead of trashing the airline and its pilots/employees
The current share price is dramatically LESS than the cash reserves and nett assets of the airline. BUY SOME QAN SHARES AND TAKE CONTROL BY VOTING OUT MANAGEMENT AND THE BOARD
