I find it quite surreal. 12 years ago QF went cap in hand to the Government to stop it from bailing AN out after successfully lobbying to prevent SQ buying into AN and effectively re capitalising it. Now it is going cap in hand to the government to help bail itself out. How the wheel turns. Interesting times ahead for QF and it's staff on the aviation industry roller coaster. As usual, it will be the small and vital cogs in the big machine that will pay the price for the big cog's failings.
Good luck to all the QF staff who have remained loyal under trying circumstances.
I'm glad I'm out of it.
