Qantas Upgrades Profit Forecast
From the ABC website:
Now doesn't that make you feel good? What a fantastic business model! What a pity the APA bid didn't go ahead, then the QANTAS business model would never have seen the light of day.
The Model:
1. Screw the Customers who have no choice but to use your product.
2. Scream and cry about foriegn competition, and that the sky is falling.
3. Screw the staff by making them fear for their jobs - see item number 2.
4. Profit.

Wow! It's amazing what a failed bid can do for a company... And the falling sky for that matter!
So, will Geoff be paying royalties to the failed APA people, for making use of their business model?

The bonus will be at least 6 figures, the bottle of wine will actually be a case of Grange .
Too bad for the travelling public and all the hardworking , dedicated staff who are getting Ripped-off.
Who said that Gordon Gekko is dead? He's now is the CEO of an Australian airline. As GD would say,"You're lucky you've got a job, and I haven't outsourced you out to China or India"
Imagine, 12 months ago if the APA bid was successful?
Hey, as MAJ said, "you are all mental if you don't accept the offer"
I saw her picture in today's paper. when GD and MAJ were kissing each other when the APA bid was announced. It was enough to make me puke up my Weet-Bix.
GD is the devil himself, doesn't give a stuff about the staff or customers.

It's great to see the Qantas Group doing so well...how about another premium airline ( Ansett Mark_? )to start-up in Oz and give the rather assertive, happy staff something to really smile about!

Just be careful everyone, the airline isn't going as well as the figures suggest...
We all need to tighten our belts, work smarter and continuously improve.
Perhaps the future might be a bit more difficult for senior management, make them earn their bonuses.

), and determined that this would be the way to go in terms of improving shareholder value etc.Only problem was, they kinda forgot to mention any of this to the shareholders during the course of the takeover bid.

It makes me sick. The top managment say knew nothing about the freight cartel, but are quick to say "we" are the ones that made this profit through their management.
One minute they don't know anything, the next everything good is because of them.
