Just saw on the "Telegraph Travel Awards" (Telegraph newspaper, London) that CX was voted the 9th (!) best long haul. I remember a time when it was vying for 1st and 2nd each year. Another sign of the failure of our management.
Qantas only advertises where it can 'scoop awards'
- Qantas management way smarter than your guys, they took a world renowned brand, trash talked it themselves.
- Grounded a 'terminal airline'
- Poured air frames into JQ with a very elastic demand (no yield potential)
- Wrote off long haul fleet-saved depreciation
- Got lucky with fuel price!
- business profitable again
- Made themselves millions with CEO Mr Joyce the most remunerated CEO in Australia..
- All this on the same contracts, with the same fleet as when it was a' terminal airline'
- Goes through Dubai, abandons it and returns to Singapore.
- Got one, no two 787 with LN 615!
Qantas survived despite management not because of it..airlines are people businesses!
