The Long Game ?
What is happening ot Qantas now had its inception around 2001.A group of people comprising QF Executives and a few consultants(most notably Ian Oldmeadow)decided that in order to survive Qantas needed to be destroyed and then rebirthed.Destroy the culture of excellence,drive down the wages and conditions of existing employees and slowly cede the network to a subsidiary lost cost airline.Grounding the airline was one of the last steps in the destruction of the airline.Its been a dangerous strategy that may have ended in disaster if not for pilot skills.
This is one take on whats going on at Qantas.
The other scenario is that the Exco at Qantas together with the board are the most inept narcissistic,greed driven incompetent group ever to run a corporation.(a la Enron)
The first scenario sees Qantas at least rebirthed and survive.The latter sees the airline totally destroyed by monumental arrogance and stupidity.
The last ten years have seen many posters on blogs and websites attempt to determine what the end game at Qantas is.
No one has yet been successful.Worst still no one will be held accountable whatever the outcome
