NN - Disagree with you. The likes of OW would have seen that as a triumph. The publicity was generated for a Female CP and that was the purpose (qualifications aside and nothing against the person involved) of the announcement. Whether a Female CP happens or not isn't really relevant, as with most things Qantas/J* its the press coverage that is object of the exercise.
There won't be a half page Press Release saying there isn't going to be a Female CP - I don't think they care, they've already milked it - someone is in line for a bonus, well done!
Would have expected you to know that!!
