Well said Mooncheese. I think the following..
BNE operation should have been shut down long ago. One base manager, engineers, ramp staff galore, all for 1 30 seat plane. Costs must have been huge.
BNE base manager kept coming down to SYD to make changes like hed done in BNE. With 1 plaen in BNE how can you not manage a base like that. Why did it take him so many trips overnighting in SYD to acomplish nothing?
No money no parts. Engineering struggled. No suprise to see first and second grounding. Result... enough to kill any airline.
Amazed when Brindi got codeshare with QF...how the management achieved that god would only know. Cash? Were QF an interested party to buy them?
CEO never in country. Not a good recipe. When all fell apart two weeks ago he must have been on holiday in Ireland...he was nver seen, emails sent on his behalf by CCO. No board meeting as the Chairman was in Australia. Where was CEO yesterday when all made redundant....on a luxury cruise ship somewhere in Asia. Where was the Chairman, on a luxury holiday in Bahamas...(did he take the money with him???).... Where was the CCO....on a luxury holiday in Bali!
The CFO????
