Who's going to replace Godfrey at VB ?

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.

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....

swift? (the jump seat bandit?)
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.

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
