BIG Announcement coming from QF?
Hey Mr 1A et al....
Re" Selling it all off was a mistake".......
SO WAS THE WHOLE "PRIVATEISATION" SCAM!!!
The airports for example....what has cost us - "The hard working families of Australia" - more???
Pay to land, pay to park, pay to park the car......
THAT ALONE has KILLED G/A....And raised the price of a ticket for ALL RPT travellers....
Don't get me started!!!!
Apols for the drift.......

It would have to be at least double todays closing price before those investors even think about it.

I certainly hope the PR machine comes out of hiding. I would like to see Wirthless make some media statements while dressed in baju melayu, those traditional clothes suit her slender frame and dominatrix style scowl. Maybe throw in some knee length crocodile skin boots and she can make me her bitch forever!!! Fair dinkum, I think I am in love!
Forget the incompetent management, tanked share price and the overall sinking ship, gve me Livvy in a full length rubber suit any day !

Cactus.................Cactus,............ wake up. You've been lured in. It will be a slow painful death. You'll receive the same treatment as all other employees. Used to fit a means. Imagine, suffocating in amongst the rubber suit, and spat out at the other end with nothing left.

piston broke again Anyone tipping its a full blown merger with MAS?
If that is the case then as soon as MAS have secured the cash reserve QF have in the bank, then QF will be cast adrift and then go down the tube.
This will be the only reason a cash strapped carrier will merge with Qantas.

Well, Mr 1A,
In WA, the ambos ARE 'Private' - St Johns - owned by 'overseas interests' I am led to believe....
Don't even think of ever needing one unless you are in a fund....
Can be up to $800 per time - and that's according to a 'fund' advert.
And yes, I have preferred a 'private' hospital over the local State one from time to time - Lucky I'm in a 'Fund' eh??
And tell me, why should we 'limit' any buy back to QANTAS, an airline?
How about all of the AIRPORTS which are an ESSENTIAL part of any nation's and city's infrastructure.
Try living in this age without one!
As much as I am 'AUS' and a great fan of all things 'AUS', including our 'National Carrier', why we continue to 'sell the farm' / utilities that WE the taxpayers owned, and then expect it not to cost us, the taxpayers MORE, (Read - the hard working families of Australia etc etc..blah blah...) is beyond my poor comprehension....
I rest my case....

Qantas-Malaysian Airlines Alliance Has Wings: Macquarie - Deal Journal Australia - WSJ
water fountain talk in the macquarie offices ?
Qantas-Malaysian Airlines Alliance Has Wings: Macquarie
Macquarie reckons if the tie-up occurs, implementation will not occur at least until mid-2013 due to infrastructure demands in Kuala Lumpur, the need for long range aircraft with 2013 delivery and upgrade requirements to existing planes.
The airline yesterday declined to comment on the speculation but ruled out shifting jobs overseas.
"There is always a lot of rumour and speculation about Qantas and we are not going to respond to every single rumour, but any suggestion that Qantas is offshoring jobs is totally incorrect,'' a spokesman said.

So yeah, the jobs won't be offshored, the jobs are gone. Big difference ok ?

This morning at 7am there were 170 comments, 99% of which were critical of Qantas management. Now it appears they've wiped the lot.

Now if Mr Joyce was concerned about the safety of the aircraft when he decided to ground the airline and 'lock out' its employees because they wouldn't be able to concentrate, surely the impending sacking of its staff would be of a greater concern and he must again ground the fleet again.
Shown an email sent around today to crew saying despite the rumours no big announcement planned and just the results announced and committed to being Australian employer etc etc

My money is on a delay of retiring current QF aircraft. The long term plan of having the 330's as domestic aircraft, relies on the new terminal at Sydney. There is no point re engineering the current Qantas terminal, they will be out in a handful of years. And as the current QF terminal can only handle 2 x 330's, they wouldnt want to send too many more 330's to the domestic operation just yet.
Thursday will be a non event.
