"There's no guarantee of the right to exist. You have to fight for it and I think thats what we're doing." - Alan Joyce
Fight for it, just like the Unions are doing, fighting for their futures, fighting for practices that have kept their aircraft relatively safe for the last 60 years. Good on ya Alan, nice double standards.
As they said, hes a number man, its all numbers for him and pushing those numbers to their limits, eventually though with that philosophy you eventually push those numbers too far and something happens, generally in Aviation that something could be a smoking hole in the ground. I think we're all wondering if thats what it will take for people like Alan Joyce to really wake up and smell the roses and realise the part he has played in it.
