While I agree with you on the solution, I think Joyce and Clifford (who was a known cutter in former days) are the ones who need to do the cutting - swift and hard as part of their final period.
Then sweep in a new broom, new management to get things right. No point getting a new CEO if the first thing they do is cut -they will be as popular as Joyce.
Yes but these two could still cause plenty of problems along the way.
Wasn't Toomey widely hated back in the day?
Who was the senior QF Executive who shoved him up against a wall and called him a bully - big guy but yes, a bully.
Would you want Toomey anywhere near the place? Even if Joyce & Clifford went today and an interim board bought someone like Toomey in for 6 months to make relevant cuts, etc. He could be just as dangerous as Joyce as he knows that he doesn't have a good name at QANTAS let along AirNZ and Ansett. He could still cause plenty of problems along the way.
I would rather keep Joyce.
