I guess that after 30 years in the business, I really don't understand the business. I don;t know so many are not prospering (aside from incompetent management). Anyone considering a ship journey Sydney to LA? New York to London? Train? Air travel is indespensible and it can't make money!
Another heavy day of trading. Nearly 20m shares. Someone is off loading and someone is buying and I would think that someone is going to have to declare an interest soon. Circa 300m shares changing hands month to date or about 13% of the issued shares.

Interesting AJ...
Good move, way to attack AIPA with the world watching.
AJ: Really, what did you "ANNOUNCE" ...??
NOTHING!! This was an announcement to announce that on Aug 24, he will make an announcement.
QF called for a trading halt, as then the whole fricken world will be watching his sob story that he is apparently losing money. This is a stage that AIPA can not fight on, which is very bloody sad.
This is QF warfare at it's best. It's time to vote yes, screw then for every single dollar and cent we can all drain out of their little slush fund. They do have deep pockets, but they dont want to lose money. So lets pressure them to a point that they threaten to close doors.
The lights are out if we sit on our hands. QF can't afford to fight for too long. They can't and they wont. They are calling our bluff. Now is time.

Pilots (and Engineers) are asking for too much – well, what HAVE their pay rises been? How does that compare to the Board and CEO? Management in general? Can’t talk for pilots but if the average Engineer is earning $150K then I’d be stunned and furthermore if the average cost centre related manager (i.e. those not directly involved in getting passengers moved who would be profit centre management) ISN’T earning at least $150K then I’d be double stunned. Frame the argument as a response to AJ’s BS and use it against him. But you MUST keep it short sharp and sweet, and (for the pilot rep) stop coming across as some pompous spoilt flyboy. Engage with people in general, don’t be all haughty and get everyone offside or you lose big time. You need support.

Could it be the intention of senior management to run the share price into the ground so as to allow a "private" third party to takeover Qantas shares at minimum cost thereby defrauding the current shareholders the fair value of their shares?
Management could always blame intransigent and greedy union officials and workers for the failure of Qantas to remain competitive and thereby justify management's and the board's recommendation to the now poor shareholders to accept the takeover bid when it inevitably arrives...
Son of "Project Suzie" is coming back for revenge..?
Alas, all the other so called "issues" are a smoke screen for the real agenda.

$1.805 this morning! Is that not a 10% decline in three weeks? Surely J P Morgan and HSBC are wondering where their investment is going?

No such worries for JP Morgan, which just reported that it lost money on exactly zero days in Q1, averaged $112 million in daily trading revenue and had 7 days in which the firm had trading profits of “more” than $160 million, including 2 days unbounded by an upper limit range.
Next, we expect Goldman and Citi to do the same. It is a good thing markets are not zero sum, or else someone may ask just who (or rather which taxpayer) is the loser to all these “trading perfection” days…

These banks have the best information, hence rarely ever lose money. Try this google search perfect trading quarter.
Is the game rigged? </rhetorical>

PPruNe's Clout ?
I think that was said with tongue in cheek.
If not then major investors should be requesting further information from the QF Chairman...if they can find him
