EXCLUSIVE
Alan Joyce's plan for turning around Qantas Group. Draft 1.
8 Pillar Plan (8 is a lucky number in Asia)
Qantas will retire all long haul aircraft, to be replaced by Jetstar's 8 oldest A320s. (this will bring down the average fleet age)
All Qantas A320s to be based in Darwin and be flown as far afield as Dili and Kupang. (to be known as QF1 and QF2) Code share with Air North and Emirates.
Qantas A320's will be fitted with 8 luxury First suites. (Red Q is not dead)
Jetstar Asia will then transport all passengers to destinations throughout our pan Asian network. (New destinations include Ulaanbaatar and Zamboanga)
An total order of 888 A320's will operate our network with at least half being operational spares.
Each Asian destination will have a full management team including a CEO. (all frontline staff will be outsourced)
All existing long haul flying will be code share (gifted) to offshore entities.
One A380 will be kept and converted to freighter to fly all the money made in Asia back to Coward Street, Mascot. (all existing mainline pilots will be retained but sent on LWOP until they die, saving on redundancy payments)
