If JB had not been passed over for the top job, I don't think Qantas would be in this mess in the first place. You have a guy with 30 years plus of Qantas experience, with knowledge, literally, from the ground up, displaced for some import with virtually no knowledge of Qantas or the Qantas way of thinking.
The only thing Joyce knew, was Jetstar and cut cut cut. JB knew how Qantas worked, and took that knowledge elsewhere to use it against them..
It was bound to end in tears, the end had started as soon as it had begun...
The final acts are about to be played out, the only sad thing is that those that led this sad demise will depart with millions.
