A hostile takeover of Skywest could stop a lot of cash leaving the books when VA get a national regional network with the ATR, a big cash cow will be halfed. This would delay the impact.
*No share buyback
*No new twin engine orders with the AUD above $1.05US
*No merging of brands
And the list goes on........its like the Roo has been shot and no one is stopping the bleeding.

Unfortunately shot by friendly fire and there is plenty of ammunition left yet. This is not about an airline, but rather a commodity for self fulfillment.
I really like the suggestion floated this week that some banks suggested bonuses should only be paid on retirement to cut out the short term nature of what is going on at the moment.

"Most of the reduction in job numbers at Qantas is due to advancements in technology, which means the work doesn't exist anymore. We don't maintain our cars the same way as we did 20 years ago and the same goes for aircraft."Qantas spokeswoman Olivia Wirth said "

Maybe Liv should get another broken record, how many times can they drag this crap out?
Where do they explain abandonment of routes, less frames and no strategy going forward except roll the dice options.
The fact is that this lot were gifted a valuable and successful business and they don't have the ability to hack it in the real world and then blame everyone else. It is not the company that is broken it is those that are running it into the ground. If you dont believe that look at similar businesses that are growing and have taken initiatives to survive beyond selling the farm.

Qantas passengers refuse to fly LA to Melbourne because there were no XL first-class pyjamas | News.com.au
Meanwhile they are making fun of the first class passengers. You know, the ones who give the company yield and what JB is chasing relentlessly.
Muppet's.

Whilst the customers appear to have been over the top in their reaction the real point is that somewhere the Qantas system simply didn't work to keep your most valuable customers happy.

Whilst I agree with you to an extent you're missing the real point - why weren't there XL sized pyjamas available for your highest yield customers?
Do you like soy coffee? How do you feel if it's not available? Take anything you particularly like and value enough to pay for, now imagine if you don't quite get the full experience. How do you feel?

If you ordered a Ferrari and got a Hyundai, and told that was all that's available, THEN you have a gripe.

Was looking at the "strategy" slides from a link on the webpage pg 109 that shows by 2021 International will be an all A380 fleet.
Looks like Jetstar will be handed Asia and International will do America, Africa, and South America and maybe Japan from another slide.

Etihad don't have any PJ's in Business Class at ALL.
I know this is a First class "thingo", but sleeping in a good suit SUCKS and it 8 grand, not 6 to europe.

And then they decided to broadcast it to the cabin.
Not a smart move regardless.

Something went wrong.
For whatever reason it couldn't be handled on the spot.
For whatever reason the customers went "off".
For reasons of ego the crew then broadcast that across the plane.
Whilst I certainly agree that on the information provided the customers were cockheads, the response of the crew was also poor from a longer term perspective. Get them off, get the flight underway and be done with it.

just no positive vibe anymore.... maybe they (the PR dept) should try something new to get people talking positive about the brand again.. this idea for another airline was a bit of a hit...
