Qantas is "in play" in the share market. My own view is that the share price would double or triple if there was a change of strategic direction and the departure of Alan.
The competing view has to be that the Board is so enamoured of Asian markets that they believe it is worth almost any price to get a tiny chunk of it.
My view, which is based on history, suggests that only Asians are allowed to make money from other Asians and that Qantas will fail to make inroads.
