Macquarie??? Well, the poacher has now been put in charge. Time to grab the popcorn methinks.
Those that are hoping for re-nationslisation are delusional. Let's play that scenario through shall we.
The current government is run by the Greens. They're hardly in the business of propping up failed airlines. In fact, their stated policy is essentially dancing on the corpse of the aviation industry. So no assistance there.
Which leaves QF hanging on by it's finger nails for the next 12 months until the next federal election. Then along comes the great White Knight.... (drumroll)..... TONY ABBOTT????
Yes, the savior of working Aussies will be the new QF chairman Tony Abbott. Along with his obvious choice for CEO, Peter Reith. What a workplace that would be.
So nationslisation is not going to happen. The breakup of QF is. Employees of QF, you can either be a part of what happens next or not. It's time for you to react rationally. But I honestly don't think your masters care which road you chose to take.
