The next thing that will happen is the Journo's will smell blood, and go after him, and possibly the board. If they hound him, he could crack and go, its all in the lap of the Gods now, he was a shattered man this morning, and Cameron has not finished with him yet nor Xenophon. But who was the bloke putting out the dorothy dixers, the nice little questions? A stooge?

I noticed AJ said that theory's of Jetstar replacing Qantas domestic were not true. Well what about Jetstar replacing Qantas to the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast? And I'm sure there are other routes that have been replaced.

It was mentioned a pilot rang a senator during the hearing to describe being alarmed mid flight re the grounding. How do we ring them mid enquiry? I'd love to coach with a few questions on the fly.often they are on the right track but need prompting to deliver the knockout question.

This little piggy went to the chairmans lounge....
It was qantas' "intention" to never eat into qf flying with Jetstar. Intentions mean nothing.
E.G, CASA will speak of a regulation and say 'the intent' of the reg. In other words they won't be specific with what is required of you to meet the reg, and when you implement a process based on your understanding of the reg which absolutely is not clear in the first place, they can still ping you by saying you are wrong because 'that is not the intent of the reg' according to them. It is merely word obsfucating bull**** designed to cover the ass of the big player and burn the little people to the ground in an unwinable situation.
NOTE TO ALL POLITICIANS !!
To all the spineless, weak, lying, trough dwelling parasite Pollies - Please observe the actions of messrs Brown, Cameron, Xenophon, Heffernan, even Katter.
These politicians act to the best of their ability to seek the best interest of their constituents first. They understand what they are paid to do, represent the people and not bend over and grab their ankles for influential business leaders and other power brokers.
Top work, you get my vote

In the mean time Joyce and Qantas continue to give all of Qantas international profitable flying to Jetstar. No wonder Qantas international are not making a profit, because all the profitable routes are being gifted to Jetstar. This would also explain the continual decrease in market share for Qantas and increase for Jetstar. Net result, a continual decline in company market share because customers get pissed off with Jetstar and move to a quality carrier who are still doing the routes that Qantas used to.
I love how they recently took the Boeing 747 (with high load factors) off the Auckland-LAX route to replace it with a medium haul aircraft that is not suited to that run. The loads now are dismal. Manipultion at its greatest!! Next year, they will claim that Qantas are not making money on the route and el presto, Jetstar takes it over!
He has the gift of the gab this little Irishman. They want to fix the Qantas business? Then give the profitable routes you gifted to Jetstar back to Qantas would be a start. I see the SYD-ZQN flying is shortly going to Jetstar. Again more profitable Qantas international flying going to Jetstar. No wonder Qantas international find it hard to make a profit.
