Well lets go back 5 years shall we? Was the 1.2 billion dollar profit, slated mainly to QF International the fault of the staff?
2008 seems to be benchmark. Dixon perfectly timed but ultimately doomed bid to steal the Company ( doomed by someone else's greed... Oh the irony) meant he was on the outer and someone "with a vision for the company that blew the Board away" was on his way in.
Yes I know the GFC then happened.
But maybe a visionary would have known to keep investing in the cash generating product instead of trying to conquer Asia.
The visionary and the Board have failed miserably.
Mainline International is shrinking because when you CAN'T replace old aircraft because you blew the companies capital on failed Asian ventures the piper has to be paid.
Jetstar Asia.- never turned a real profit.
Jetstar Vietnam - why is it even still called Jetstar?
Jetstar Japan- bulk of the fleet gathering dust in Narita... Needed 60 mill just to make the payroll.
Jetstar Hong Kong. Anyone willing to take a bet on that master stroke?
Can we quit sidetracking the blame from the staff to the obvious culprits? Can the masters of the universe in this thread take their brandy snifters into the other room, because you are talking arrant garbage.
