JB's biggest asset is his inside knowledge - he knows so much about the QF product etc, that alone is worth his salary.
No doubt DJ have got the best candidate out there - just remember, Dixon basically gave JB an unlimited budget. The amount of money spent on the A380 product, the Customer Service Centre
was enormous - businesses can't afford that sort of spending anymore. I think he can do big things at DJ but DJ isn't going to be as generous with the money.

Great Day
Servo,
So true. Finally DJ will have somebody who has a brain run the place,and perhaps run it in the right direction for the fist time in many years 
Good riddence to used baggage, nepotism and incompetence
I am glad JB has the 'must have's'.Perhaps this is the end of the DJ era of hiring idiots, brown nosers and Mcdonalds staff ? Time will tell.
JB spent many years as the QF Bridesmaid and yes, due to his not getting the reigns from Darth, there was no choice but for him to depart,thats Executive Management for you
However he will make a great leader at DJ,which is something they have lacked for years
And best of all is that he will also bring along some of his QF mates in the next 6 months,while cutting loose even more of the completely farcical deadwood high up in The Village, most should have been punted many years back.I look forward with anticipation to see JB scoop up all of DJ's 'scummy dross' and ditch it once and for all
There are many parties taking place around the network today..Indeed, a good day.
Where will John lead us?? Who knows. I hope he brings some balance to the company and eliminates some of the Brettanisms we have to suffer.

Sure, great news re. JB.
I'm interested to see how he steers the boat.
I think it's pretty piss poor to be slagging the last bloke though, granted the timing was pretty good but take a look at the show he has got onto the road
Hat, jacket..............
bbbbbbbbbbbbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Mr Buzzy,
Not saying BG didnt do a good job, just that he or his staff kept on trying to reinvent the wheel over and over and over and over again, at the expense of areas that needed more attention. The nepotism and lack of respect has to be seen to be believed!
Certainly without his beer coaster and initial gusto I wouldn't have a job with VB...........
I certainly think that it has aged him more than 10 years though! I hope "retirement" is more kind to him.

Mr.Buzzy
Hilarious stuff,
Who is slagging ?.Simply some facts stated.It took more than one person to create the airline my friend.And if you think the demise in share price since launch is good value under the former leader then I guess each to their own opinion 
Lets not turn this thread into a 'staff battle of opinion'.Lets get back to our farewell celebrations,the Titanic now has a new Captain and I am positive JB has the ability and experience.This is truly a great day for the airline,and shareholders.
Let the healing begin....

stand by for DJ to put he emphasis on "airline" in the phrase new world airline. Good appointment and it will be QF's loss. I expect the middle ground to be quickly redefined

I think Godfrey created an excellent product for a small niche leisure airline...however that is not what is there now. Maybe JB can build on that and turn Virgin into a serious contender in the Asia Pacific region.

I wonder if JB will use his QF gold pass for air travel.
You know...keep your friends close, and your enemies closer! All competitors sample the others product and pull it apart teste it etc...
Be funny to see what happened when welcomed aboard!

JB welcome aboard any QF plane i am working on.
bought 14000 shares today @ .689 .
then i read the quote "you can make a small fortune investing in airlines..... as long as you start with a large fortune".
p.s. QF is still giving me shares, i keep selling them. "oh happy days"

On would have thought the smart people at Qantas would have had a clause in JB's termination contract in it to prevent him from working for a competitor for at least two years?
