Fuel off - have a read here http://www.pprune.org/dg-p-reporting...s-cba-ceo.html
It has got to the point where almost anyone else would be preferable to the poison leprechaun. His, and Leigh Clifford's, continued existence are the greatest difficulties that Qantas face.
Please, God, let the rumour be true.

So on initial reading it would appear that Sir Ralph can read the signs of when a ship is sinking and knows where to plug the holes.
Here's hoping that the rumours are true. Although not Australian, a kiwi has got to be better than an Irishman!

The only return for anyone in this debacle has been the select few at the top who seem to take no responsibility for anything AND we have to put up with their incessant whining about everyone else.
There you go, take another bonus for having an impact on everyone else, that's about all it seems to take to justify it.

If the rumour is true, will he get Board support?
If not, it may be like marrying into a dysfunctional family. You can have the best of intentions and do your darnedest to be productive, happy and a force for change, but if they're committed to being dysfunctional the only options are that you end up as mad as they are or have a whopping great domestic and leave.

"My stupid sister went to Hong Kong on a No Frills Airline,met a short order cook,shagged him THEN missed her flight.Then when she tried to rebook it she was told by the No Frills Airline Booking Site she'd have to buy a whole new ticket for being a tart,THEN she called me & I told her..Ya shudda flown on Qantas ya dopey moll!".....All jokes aside WHO is the BOOB responsible for this ad? and if this is one of the BETTER ones what are the others like?...Bucket shop for sure VOMIT BUCKET AD most vile I hate it!,what are these retards doing to our brand?,attracting premium custom with backpackers?...no they can travel on an LCC (and there are PLENTY of them around) if they wanna save a quid"

On the subject of replacing CEO's, has anyone heard anything of Alan Joyce recently?
It's been over 2 weeks & nothing from AJ amidst stop works, birdstrikes & a tanking shareprice.
Last I heard was this:
Qantas chief remuneration not clear-cut - Airline News - etravelblackboard.com

"My sister went to London via HongKong with a Qantas after booking a Qantas ticket on Qantas.com and somehow she ended up on a aircraft with a blue tail and pommy accents but has been assured its worlds best practice. Next time she's flying an airline to London, not airlines."

Ah yes, but will safety be their first priority and they end up on an orange jet eventually.
Whatever medication these guys are on, we should all get some as it obviously works for some.
Can you believe anyone gets paid and probably gets massive bonuses to produce this stuff.

Advertisements are funny things. They get perverted in peoples minds. Sometimes this makes them funny and they go viral.
This one will probably be perceived as "Use a condom when you fly Qantas."

Just heard on ABC's PM program re: QF and FJ Union regulations (aka "lock out")
Again another example of disgraceful corporate behaviour in regards to Union activity.
The ILO is suitably outraged !!!!
When will it end?
This crowd (2 QF board members on the FJ board) are all party to this stench.
Just join the dots.....to whats going on at mainline.......TODAY
What a surprise...no one from QF would comment.....not even Olivia.

Livi is at it again,
Latest Qantas strikes hit 8500 passengers
and along comes OW with this huge revelation,
What is clear to the "traveling public" none of this would be happening if the management had the foresight to be smart enough to sit down and resolve the issues with the various unions if indeed the focus was on the "traveling public." The manager bozos currently running the show at Q has lost all creditability with their media statements. Airlines are a "people business" something they have completely lost sight of over the last year or so.
A little birdie tells me that in the eyes of the Australian public, these managers are seen as the problem and not the staff, there is strong evidence, people are tiring of the Q group managers attitude towards their staff, I believe a large corporate account will be moving over to JBs camp in the not too distant future.... stay tuned.

For the record I believe this is the link for the above post... very interesting indeed...
Latest Qantas strikes hit 8500 passengers
Qantas says about 8500 passengers have been affected by a ground staff strike at airports across Australia this morning.
Qantas spokeswoman Olivia Wirth told Channel Seven passengers were being delayed and inconvenienced.
"It should be the travelling public that we focus on," she said.

To Qantas Shareholders
I know this has been mentioned many times before but perhaps it pays to reiterate the point again and again:
Qantas share price history
available here QAN.AX Historical Prices | QANTAS FPO Stock - Yahoo!7 Finance
Share price on appointment of LC; Aug 2007 $ 5.58
Share price on appointment of AJ; Nov 2008 $ 2.32
Share price today 30th Sep 2011; at 11:47 $ 1.40
(Remember these are actuals not adjusted for inflation).
Well done boys: you have created a small fortune in aviation!
(Pity it is from a larger fortune to start with: also a pity some of my super is locked up in QAN.AX)

Just adds to the poor effort by management of QF.

Stubby also note in ABC interview this morning she denied QANTAS don't fly to Fiji although technically true their subsiduary with orange tail does. Nice to see ABC journo take her to task on a number of points unlike CH 7 smear jobs .
