Many contributors to this thread are right about the many problems that Qantas faces, but the reality is that Alan Joyce and the board don't read these posts and don't care what is said if they did.
They have the high ground on managing the business whether we like it or not and it's only the major shareholders that can change that.
I wonder what THEY would think of think of these posts.
If anyone has something to contribute on that, it might be interesting.
Aeromedic, you're right about this. AJ and Co also don't care what the investors think either. What is needed is a few more interviews with Leigh Sales and maybe another session in front of the Senate Committee. But this will only have any effect if the questions can be asked without being pre-scripted and have the accounts of QANTAS checked to see which part of the company is bleeding the other.
As has been repeated by AJ over the last 12 or so months, International is dragging everyone else down, and when it's said enough times, it becomes believable. Even the management start to believe their own guff.
