Alan or no Alan, QF International is fundamentally rooted.

The Australian economy is apparently booming, although a few would say otherwise.

However, due to the strength of the economy the Australian Dollar is ridiculously strong compared to other currencies. For businesses and families in America and Europe......go to Australia and do business or vacation? Hell no, its way to expensive.

If Barnaby and co want to "save" Qantas, they need to either lower the value of the Aussie Dollar, or lower the cost base of Qantas.

So, Alan or no Alan, disregarding the boards remuneration and a supposedly bloated Headquarters what changes do the glitterati here propose that would make Qantas mean and efficient?
