And what is the common denominator amongst all the previous management team to the ones installed since Strong?
They all climbed through the ranks of the company they eventually lead. They understood the company and what made it tick. They didn't milk it for what it was worth. They were all about growing and strengthening the company for the long term. That's why it has reached 91. Who knows how much longer it may survive?
Borghetti was of that mould. 33 years in the company. Knew what the true meaning of QANTAS was and would have definitely ensured the longevity of QANTAS.
