So QFA management has been planning this action for an extended period, yet fails to comply with their own standards of behaviour.
This is the key issue , is the grounding a snap decision as the management claim or has it been planned. Unwind this question with some hard evidence that it was planned and that key stakeholders and shareholders weren't informed and the current management team will lose all credibility and possibly open to some criminal charges.
Or even worse key stakeholders and shareholders did know and used that information to their benefit.
I bet the corporate office is busy covering it's tracks over the weekend if something isn't within the law.
