A quote today from Qantas Board member Todd Sampson
When he was approached to join Qantas last year, the airline was at the lowest ebb in its history. There were calls for CEO Alan Joyce's head. Yet Sampson's acceptance of the invitation was instant, despite the company being in crisis.
History now shows that his timing was perfect as the airline--helped by lower fuel prices--has emerged from the storm.
"Its core was not in crisis. There is a big difference between the crisis created in media and reality" Sampson says.

Who created the media crisis? Who fed it all the way with multiple statements about a terminal decline, including in front of Parliamentary committees & submissions to the ACCC?
Did he just accuse his CEO of lying?
