Any truth to the rumour that John Borghetti ex Qantas is being considered?

Haven't heard Borghetti's name mentioned, but did read in the paper recently that Peter Grieg is a contender.

Given VB's financials, a betting man would put his money on PG; I think.

:ooh:

Based on BG I.Q test, the nearest score to his was Forrest Gump.
Stupid is what stupid does.

VB's like a box of chocolates.......u never know what your gonna get.

if they do things the same way as the rat, the position has already been filled, then they advertise it

I hear Grimace from McDonalds is looking for work?

He might just be a shoe in, what with the Hamburglar in charge of Human Resources?!

He can't speak, and is technically a purple blob of jelly with no specific purpose, but his main selling point is 'No Decisions' is better than 'Bad Decisions'. He just might save VB some $$$!

Maybe Borghetti could be number 2? Working for Grimace would have to be easier and more dignified than GD?!

I'd be pretty surprised if Borghetti got it. Not because he isn't any good, I personally think it would be a pretty good choice. At the end of the day, those fisharses wouldn't pay a bloke like that what he'd rightfully feel is fair. So no....:ugh:

That's the last person you need -another accountant!
It's a chance to get back to basics and Airline skilled and knowledgeable "people managers" such as has been proven to work in Southwest; Air Asia; Kingfisher...
Just a thought anyway.:ok:

LMC: Hogan suggested: He'd be good. Look what he's done to Etihad and also Gulf, prior to politics taking over there.

Capt_CheeseDick, just for the record Tony Fernandes is an accountant by trade, so don't lump all accountants in the same basket.

And Kingfisher? Seriously? Maybe when they turn a profit some time next decade...

Good to see someone else is up with it and keeps informed.
Southwest is the good example in there.

Who knows who it'll be, as the 12 month race to prove ones-self has just begun. I'm sure there'll be plenty of pissy, long, mate-ship bonding lunches to come :)

JB would be a great CEO, but does he 'fit' the DJ model?

He comes from a 'full service' background and has lots of points notched up, not many of which would 'fit' DJ's model.

Or, if the scuttlebut is correct, is DJ moving further toward the full service model????

Confusing as another rumour suggests this is why Brett is on the way out as he has moved away from the original model.........

Who pulls the strings there?? Sir Richard?? Someone else?? Thats the key as to who will get the gig IMHO......going to very very interesting 12 months or so......

Is it co-incidental that the share price has been going up since BG announced his retirement!?

VBPC - try not to be drawn into those bollocks rumours spread by vacant minded shyte-stirrers hoping to get more productivity out of you during an EBA negotiation.

I have just realised that BG is going to want someone that makes him look good - hence I withdraw my submission of Grimace.

Maybe it will be 'Betty Goodfray' (she looks just like Brett, but with the demeanour, image and airline management knowledge of Mrs. Slocombe from are you being served. Other than actually having hair and alleged gender, just like Brett really?

No. The rest of the market has moved up as well.

Doubt it.

Who's going to replace Godfrey at VB ?
BG will want someone equal to or better than himself as he no doubt holds a significant amount of shares in the company.
