why the need to continually denigrate managers?
QF has been manipulated by the leprechaun into an "us and them" culture, divide and conquer if you will. Even as the airline crumbles around them there are more than a few on both sides that are maintaining a professional deportment, living in hope for a turnaround.
QF should have continued being a success story as it had many things going in its favour, but the stupid ones at the helm appeared to have steered a very good ship onto the rocks.
