You just have to look at AJ's past performance. He's working towards a November 2nd Qantas AGM & looking to pull another rabbit out of the Ether
Interesting time line and dates aligning.
Andrew Finch the new Legal Council for Qantas takes over from Brett Johnson on Nov 1st.
Andrew Finch, from Allens Arthur Robinson is the one and same behind the Qantas-British Airways merger talks and had a lot to do with the APA deal.
His forte, Mergers, Aquisitions & Take-overs.
So we have the Emirates announcement on Sept 12th and a Lawer who's expertise is mergers and take-overs coming on board at Qantas before the year ends.
No wonder the Institutional Investors are staying put for the time being.
What are the bets for a Private Equity bid to be announced when all the Fair-work Australia determinations have been handed down.
Would just before X-mas be a reasonable guess??
Knowing Qantas Management the redundancies will be announced to inflict the most pain and suffering ,so I'm guessing just before X-mas sounds about right!
