It’s typical of this forum that everyone is so keen on a venture like PER-LHR failing before it even leaves the ground. I don’t know whether it’s tall poppy syndrome, or wannabes with an axe to grind. Whatever it is I don’t understand how you possibly could benefit from it’s failure. Especially those employed by QANTAS. How can this venture failing help you? Are you one of those sad pathetic creatures that get more satisfaction from an “I told you so” moment than to realise the benefits to your own career when this actually works. Talk about cut off your nose to spite your face.

Can someone please explain to me why it is in anyone’s best interest for the PER-LHR route to fail? If it fails it will undoubtedly mean less 787s which flows on to less recruiting and less progression/promotion within the group.

When I put up my hand to say I hope it is a success I’m howled down as a “kookaid drinker” or a “skygod”. Either of which could not be further from the truth.

I’m one of QANTAS’ harshest critics. I’ve been very vocal both in here and Qrewroom on many of QANTAS’ stupid decisions, past and present. The Jetconnect fiasco is but one.

In PER-LHR though I’m convinced it has the potential to be very valuable to QANTAS, the industry and the country. A lot of very talented people have been working in this for a very long time. I’m convinced it will be viable. For all our sakes I hope it is.
