The shutdown of the Q group although a tragedy for the staff and their families wouldn't have a significant impact in the long term on the public.
I disagree. 30,000 unemployed Aussies, multiplied by their dependents, would have some effect on our local economy. The loss of business to those companies contracted by QF would also feel some pain, so too would their employees.
In the past, whenever I was asked what I did for a living, people I spoke too were generally full of praise for what I did, and for the brand. These days it's a completely different story. When I tell people what I do for a living the very first thing I hear is "why does your CEO still have his job", without fail. And I am hearing this a lot. I think Aussie's still care enough for our national carrier.
Someone better check if anyone at ASIC has Chairman's Lounge privileges
Exactly. And add CASA, Politicians, Fund Managers, and Media Moguls to your list.
