I wouldn't be surprised if Mr Joyce decided to shut down QF International now that it's separate from Domestic. He has done it before.
Not possible. Heard of the Qantas Sale Act? It specifically prohibits him from doing something like that.
What he can do is sell of domestic but if I'm a Qantas shareholder would I want an under performing international airline and no domestic traffic to feed it? He can sell of Jetstar if he wants but can't see him doing that.
After the talk of earlier this year of things 'turning around', I can't see him walking away from international and handing it all to EK. No, I suspect that it will be something about replacing Simon Hickey or new aeroplanes, or new routes, or something else to do with the AMAAAAZINNNG turnaround that he and his exec are responsible for.
Or perhaps after a bunch of years in the job he's ready to give it away and we're going to get a new CEO?
