The past predicts the future....
This ends a sad chapter in Australian Aviation. Ansett was a great company, but it flourished in an environment of government protection. Its cost base was not sustainable in the deregulated world that brings us cheap plasmas. Qantas faces the same issue and has only survived due to Ansett's collapse. Now, its strategy is to back the brand that makes the most money. Seems reasonable. I wonder when that premium carrier has been relegated to history, how those staff will feel. Will they blame everyone else too? Australians need to take some lessons from Ansett. Be efficient or be unemployed.
