Chief executive officer Alan Joyce may need to make more sacrifices, including delaying purchases of Boeing 787 Dreamliners a second time, National Australia Bank says.

Thank Christ these "experts" aren't running an airline. The same "experts" that entirely missed the fact that Enron was about to implode, but I digress.

If these guys were in charge we'd still be flying Avro 504s and wondering why passengers don't want to fly with us.

You have to spend money to make money, penny wise pound foolish, haven't these guys heard of these old chestnuts?

They seem to lose the point entirely that attracting customers to fly with you is all about product and value for money. You can't do that with out of date equipment. Especially when that out of date equipment uses substantially more kero to operate than that of your competitors.

Get your heads out of your asses (spreadsheets) and join us in the real world.
