JB? I doubt it. I think that he has an agenda that sees QF burnt, just like they did to him. Payback is a bitch, especially when your nemesis has deeeeeeeeep pockets.
QF needs a new face, someone not on our scope, a hidden gem sought out by a careful and thoughtful board. Oh, wait...
Seriously: things have come to a head. The best possible outcome is to get a new CEO who has a team on call to come in and provide some goals, direction and adult super-*******-vision on the airline. The staff would rally around such a leader. The bones of a good airline remain, but not for much longer.
Foremost though, we need a new board. With actual airline experience, and a roadmap out of the morass in which we currently flounder. And a chairman not hostage to a bankrupt ideology countering uppity unions demanding such outrages as a living wage for their members.
