I reckon the board is busy trying to build Qantas' replacement - Jetstar. With new work arrangements/agreements/contracts they will all be jumping ship once the Qantas carcass has all dried up, followed by a rebranding back to Qantas a few years later if it suits them.
Or they could just be really, really, really stupid. Hands up those that think they could do a better job at runnung Qantas.
