I kept the words to a minimum so it could be easily understood.

It was not set up from SCRATCH (ie from nothing) but of course there are cost associated with the change But that's right Qantas paid all of those

We just hads one of the Clowns from EXCO on board masquerading as Management.

Just to crack some conversation I said to him:

"not a bad profit result"?

He looked up in total disbelief and said:

"Yeah not bad I suppose , BUT............we're in a sweet spot and its only going to last for a while".

I was so stunned by this "lack of" response , that I walked off. Only afterwards did it sink in. Then I thought.......

These people have totally lost the plot. Why???
  1. Record profits.
  2. Best in our history.
  3. Future aircraft orders of $25 billion
.................and yet , they still can't celebrate success. The REASON why 1,2,& 3 are there is due to the efforts of ALL staff -hooraay!

Now I get why some staff member "king hit" Jimmy Bow tie in the Car Park one night a few years back.

Its called TOTAL FRUSTRATION

Stubby....

"Yeah not bad I suppose , BUT............we're in a sweet spot and its only going to last for a while".
Stubby ,pity you didn't ask him why then was APA so willing to borrow so much money to buy the company.

or is this another example of managment hiding the true value so they can cry poor at every opportunity.

It reminds me of the comedy scene (Mel Brooks I think) where someone asks this Jewish lady how she is going.She looks at him and say's.. "Not bad but could be better"
