Do you think the QF CEO and Board will finally wake up to what the people at the coalface (pilots and engineers) have been saying for years?
It could happen, easy to 'blame' the previous management and the fact now that there is or are, different Chairperson, board members, CEO and CFO and how easy to say,
- the aircraft is a new version?
- we believe that this 777X would better suit the requirements of QANTAS International going forward,
- this is not a back-flip by the Board and Management, this is a new version of an aircraft that QANTAS 20 years ago, did not see as a fit for our operations,
- we have been in discussion with Boeing about their plans for the 777X and now believe that the 777X will be suit our needs bla bla bla.
