Ralph Norris would have something tangible to work with however as QF isn't quite dead, yet.
And Daylight Robbery, you make a good point. The CEO is how old, 43, something like that? He has probably not even been through a financial recession since he was born, his ludicrous move into Asia is also evidence of a lack of worldly experience. Wirth-less is probably even less understanding of economics and culture, Gen Y at it's 'wirst'. Watch out tweed coat investors, no new Volvo this year, the kiddies are pissing away all your money!

Lastly, QF threatening to ground international altogether over a few hours stand down by the pilots?? My my what a crock, interesting that things would grind to a halt and they have no contingency plan, shows how vital the service that QF pilots deliver is. What a desperate statement. I hope that even the mentioning from management of pulling such a stunt is raised at the AGM. You can't manage an airline by threat and intimidation, what an obtuse management team (I use the term management team lightheartedly).
